E Melodic Minor Scale notes: E F# G A B C# D#. Formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7. Chords in this scale: Em, F#m, Gaug, A, B, C#dim, D#dim.
Melodic minor (the jazz version, same going up and down) is a major scale with a flat third: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7. It sounds smooth, modern and a little mysterious. Jazz players use it over minor chords with a major seventh, and its modes give two essential jazz sounds: Lydian dominant and the altered scale.
