[@GuitarguyRichard56]

Great list of players you mentioned at the beginning. Scott Henderson is fantastic. Love your teaching style

[@TomCPlus1]

This is helping me see which scale/arpeggio shapes go with the 1/4/5 progression moves at one position. Really helped!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Awesome!!

[@stratman9449]

hmm.nice and compact.....will "apply".....cheers and thx Jeff

[@samstamos427]

'mornin' Jeff. I was hearing Sultans of Swain in my head the through that Dm-A vamp.. More great stuff, thank you! 🖖

[@JeffMcErlain]

Sure thing Sam!

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jeff ❤😊

[@davepmolloy]

Consider this ....eh ....borrowed...Jeff 👀. Awesome. Thanks. Beautiful tone as ever

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha! Thanks man! It’s ok, I …eh…borrowed it from Larry Carlton from his instructional video back in the day!

[@MrAwesomeSaucesome]

Nice one Jeff. Am I right in thinking this works over natural minor as well? E.g. playing a Bmajor triad over an E aeolian thing?

[@JeffMcErlain]

Yup!!!

[@20003052]

@Jeff McErlain more cool triad moves that apply to minor blues like this please; and if I wanted to understand the theory behind such things were would I start would that be chord substitutions?

[@JeffMcErlain]

You’re welcome! First thing I would look at his chord scale harmony. Chords found in the major scale, melodic, minor, and harmonic minor.

[@bazilbrushrocks]

Maybe I missed something here, but if I play minor pentatonic and then add a major arpeggio from the V I find to at the b7 sounds really sour and is best omitted.

[@JeffMcErlain]

The natural 7 sounds a little more interesting but you could use the b7.

[@jamescarlucci9867]

Another Killer video..beautiful guitar, what year is it?

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks! That a vintage 2022! 😉

[@spideymarino]

Brilliant stuff. Thanks. 🙏

[@JeffMcErlain]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philjones8693]

Comments like "it'll sound a bit forced at first" do help a lot Jeff!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks. Yeah it takes a while to get it to sound natural.

[@carsongreen3181]

This is a simpler version of this Lydian Dominant thing that Jack Ruch plays on the IV in a blues. He had a cool video spelling it out. You can also play it on any minor one chord too. If you played that lick here it would be C# D E F A C# E G F. So it just adds in the E (9 of the Dm) and G (11 of the Dm) for some more color. They’re in the key but are color notes for the Dm chord in addition to the C# that’s outside the key.

[@jeffreyreid7036]

This lesson had immediate application results. Awesome!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks Jeffrey!

[@Wilyam-07]

Thank You...😊❤❤

[@JeffMcErlain]

You’re welcome!

[@davidcromwell6805]

This is VERY cool. Thanks Jeff!
P.S. The transcription should have 9 (C#) on the top string, not 8 (C), in order to hit that A major triad.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks!! Fixed!!!

[@JohnHorneGuitar]

Hey, what's the big idea making melodic minor so approachable, easy to understand, and apply??? Don't you know that melodic minor was created by jazz teachers in order to make everything more complicated and keep students coming back scratching their heads week after week? ;-)

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha!! Sorry my friend…

[@CarlHackman]

Great video, Jeff. I'm still trying to absorb theory and love this sort of lesson. Isn't the C# also the 7th of the D Harmonic minor scale as well as the 7th of the D Melodic minor (ascending) scale? Thanks, Jeff :) Ahh, my bad. Harmonic minor has a Bb which is outside the Dorian scale, but is in the D Aeolian. I have a love/hate relationship with theory LOL

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha! Yeah it gets confusing so as I said, see it as just using an A major triad! Easy.

[@J.Carter69]

Triads for life!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Yes!!

[@chuckfluker9770]

Excellent lesson Jeff! I’ve been following your channel for awhile and the content is great!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks Chuck!!

[@78tag]

I used to think I didn't like this feel but you just made me see the error of my ways - thanks.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha! Good to hear!!

[@michaelarthurmusic307]

Excellent! More stuff like this please.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks! More “jazzy” you mean?

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Great lesson. Thank you for keeping it simple.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Glad you liked it!

[@richardclark.]

the pre-bent really helps add to that surreal feeling.

[@JeffMcErlain]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@JazzStrat781]

Wonderful 👍🎸 thanks so much

[@JeffMcErlain]

You’re welcome!!

[@jamesmcnamara1837]

Great work Jeff.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks James!

[@yakovest]

Sounds like 5 to 1, not like melodic minor

[@JeffMcErlain]

V - Im is contained in melodic minor. If I’m thinking Dorian and raise the 7th to C# it’s melodic minor. If you don’t hear it that way is subjective, objectively it is melodic minor.

[@yakovest]

it is, when you use the scale or part of the scale but arpeggio pronounces dominant chord resolving into Dm

[@JeffMcErlain]

Right. Melodic minor. We are in agreement.

[@13thAMG]

Makes sense. Cool. Thanks Jeff. Hi from Australia. 😉

[@JeffMcErlain]

Excellent!!!
