Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Let's go over our A melodic minor scale again. First scale degree, first finger, G string.
Second scale degree, two, B natural, third, C natural, fourth, D natural, fifth, E natural,
sixth, F sharp, remember the six is raised, seventh, G sharp. Now, let's talk about our
eighth scale degree, which is the same note as our first scale degree. It's an A natural.
But this time, it's played with your fourth finger on the D string. That's our fourth finger on the D string.
Now, between G sharp, our seventh scale degree, and our eighth scale degree A, is a half step.
Because in a minor melodic scale, it's always a half step between two and three and seven
an eight.
