*ince you already know our maor modes, in one and two octaves, you don+t have to learn anything new in order to play the
melodic minor modes, all you have to do is alter one note for each maor mode and you can play all seven '' modes on the
guitar.
&ere is how you do this using the fingerings you learned for our maor modes. (or the sake of space I have only written out
these modes, two-octaves, starting on the th string root. ut, in your practice routine make sure to go over these seven
modes starting on the th string as well.
/ou can learn more about the melodic minor modes and their application in my article 0 Modes of the Melodic Minor Scale and
Their +lication.1
