Melodic Minor Scale — All 12 Keys
Melodic Minor in all 12 keys for guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano — notes, scale degrees, and free printable charts. Natural minor with both the 6th and 7th raised (ascending form) — a jazz-theory staple, essentially a major scale with only the 3rd flattened.
How the melodic minor is built
The melodic minor has 7 notes, with the scale degrees R · 2 · b3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7. Those degrees stay the same in every key — only the note names change — which is why the same shape moves up and down the neck.
Classical theory traditionally lowers the 6th and 7th when descending (same notes as natural minor) — this chart shows the ascending form throughout.
