Code: Melodic Minor

What’s it about?

This is an opportunity to expand your vocabulary across the neck by reframing an often misunderstood scale. Use intellectual tools to create edge-of-the-seat tension and stand-out moments of release. Evoke big, bold emotions.

It’s built around four chapters: Melodic Minor, Modes and Characteristic Sounds, Lydian Dominant and Superlocrian (Altered). An 8000-word PDF breaks apart every extended exercise, etude, lick and solo giving you both technical and theoretical grounding, and contextual practice.

Embrace dissonance, harness rich modal systems and elevate every aspect of your improvisational and compositional approaches. This is Code: Melodic Minor and it’s made to make your playing more exciting.

What will I learn?

It starts with the essentials of Melodic Minor, grounding the scale, understanding its triads, how to harmonise it and how to map the scale with arpeggios. You will then dig into its modes and the characteristic notes that make it stand out.

The magnifying glass then moves to the two most common melodic minor modes in detail. Lydian dominant and Superlcorian. You’ll learn how to use them, and how to incorporate techniques such as legato, economy picking and even some “swybrid” picking for the bold amongst us.

This Masterclass shows you everything you need to get comfy with sounds that will expand your horizons, and does so in a way that leaves no stone unturned.
