We make great jazzy sound with the MELODIC MINOR MODES. We locate and order all the 7 modes in a SIMPLE CIRCULAR SYSTEM. We use the scales to IMPROVISE JAZZ over the II-V-I chord progression.

It took a while to make this video because of all the graphics. But I think the graphics and the circle makes the music theory more understandable and clear - so I hope it was worth it :) The best and warm regards Oliver Prehn :)
