The final minor scale we are going to look at is the Melodic Minor Scale also known as the Jazz Melodic Minor Scale.

The notes of the A Melodic Minor Scale are A, B, C, D, E, F#, G# A.

Unlike the Traditional Melodic Minor Scale, the notes are the same ascending and descending. If one was to review the Traditional Melodic Minor scale you find the scale is a Melodic Minor Scale ascending and a Natural Minor Scale descending. That is what I meant when I wrote the Traditional Minor Scale is like two different scales in one.

The twelve Melodic Minor Scales are:

A, B, C, D, E, F#, G#, A
E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D#, E
B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A#, B
F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#, E#, F#
C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A#, B#, C#
G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#, F##, G#
D, E, F, G, A, B, C#, D
G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F#, G
C, D, Eb, F, G, A, B, C
F, G, Ab, Bb, C, D, E, F
Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, G, A, Bb
Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, C, D, Eb

Happy Thanksgiving!!
