View File Diatonic Chord Progressions and Patterns - Melodic Minor Here you find the diatonic chord progressions of melodic minor in the key of Cm and Gm. These 2 keys represent all patterns which start either on the E or A string. Melodic minor has a strange sound which one might get used to but is often used in classical music or in Jazz in " modal interchange " situations. There is a backing track added where you can practice to use the harmonic minor modes. You can use the C melodic minor patterns which you see in the exercises or you can also transpose the patterns with root note on the E-string as well. The backing track is just playing the harmonic minor modes one by the next : Cm6 / Cm6 / Dm7 / Dm7 / Ebmaj7#5 / Ebmaj7#5 / F7#11 / F7#11 / G7b13 / G7b13 / Am7b5 nat.9 / Am7b5 nat.9 / B7alt / B7alt Submitter admin Submitted 03/14/2024 Category Theory & Exercises
