Lesson 12 – The Jazz Minor Scale

In this lesson, I’m going to teach you how to build a particular scale that is called the Jazz Minor Scale. The Jazz Minor Scale is a derivative of the Ascending Melodic Minor Scale.

The Jazz Minor Scale consists of the notes of the Ascending Melodic Minor Scale. So, if you want to play the Jazz Minor Scale, just play the notes of the Ascending Melodic Minor Scale in an ascending way and in a descending way. A Jazz Minor Scale is made up of the same notes irregardless of whether it is played in an ascending way or a descending way i.e. a Jazz Minor Scale can be played in an ascending and in a descending way with the same musical notes. In summary, the Jazz Minor Scale is a derivative of the Ascending Melodic Minor Scale. Hence, you just need to know what an Ascending Melodic Minor Scale is in order to know what a Jazz Minor Scale is.
