Synopsis

Positional Play for Guitar: The Melodic Minor Scale and Chords Within teaches you how to incorporate the melodic minor scale into your playing with just a small shift in your existing fretboard shapes—often changing only a single note per shape. The result is an easy-to-understand, practical way to explore the melodic minor scale across the entire neck.

Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to play and apply the modes of the melodic minor scale over various chords, including minor major 7, dominant 7, and minor 7 b5 chords. You’ll gain new, very playable chords, modes, and ideas that will help you expand your musical vocabulary and bring fresh, exciting colors to your playing.

Before diving into this book, it’s recommended that you first master Positional Play: The Major Scale and Chords Within, as the concepts in that book provide the foundation for the material covered here. Once you’ve become comfortable with the major scale and its positional approach, you’ll find the melodic minor scale easy to navigate and apply.

If you’re ready to take your guitar playing to the next level, Positional Play for Guitar: The Melodic Minor Scale and Chords Within is the perfect next step. Expand your musical horizons and unlock a whole new world of possibilities on the fretboard!
