lobematt Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This may be a stupid question... Is the melodic minor scale just the same as a dorian mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 No, its the major scale with a flat third. Compared to the Dorian, it has a naturla seventh not a flattended one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
