Intervals of the 3-notes-per-string melodic minor scale

The structure of the melodic minor scale corresponds to the intervals root (1), second (2), minor third (m3), fourth (4), fifth (5), major sixth (6) and major seventh (j7). A distinct fingering is formed from each of these seven notes and named according to melodic modes I-VII. To move these patterns to other keys than A major, use the transposing table.
