Hey Indiana,   There's one scale in particular that jazz musicians love to use: The melodic minor. Now, if you're classically trained, a melodic minor scale looks like this: The scale ascending has a natural 6th and 7th, while descending it has flatted 6ths and 7ths.  Well, for improvisation, that's not all that useful. So jazz musicians just use it in it's ascending form instead: This scale is also called the "jazz minor."  So why do jazz musicians like to use it?  It has some really interesting chord/scale applications that lend itself to some pretty cool sounds. Since this can be a really useful scale for jazz improvisation, I want to share with you a free video lesson on the melodic minor and how to use it in your solos!
