Major vs Melodic Minor: A Bass Scale Workout in A
In this lesson, we dive into one of my favorite exercises for hearing and feeling the subtle — but powerful — difference between the major scale and the melodic minor scale. This isn’t just theory — we’re applying it directly on the fretboard in second position, then shifting to explore extended phrasing.
You’ll learn:
-
The tonal contrast between major and melodic minor
-
How to extend a basic scale up the neck
-
Why this concept helps unlock musical phrasing and fingerboard mastery
