      Hi Johnny,
      I was just wondering of all your years of playing the Saxophone, do you ever use the harmonic and melodic minor scales? Most of the sheet music that I’ve seen for the Saxophone when something is in a minor key has all been in the natural minor scales. I know the harmomic has a raised 7th and the melodic has a raised 6th and 7th, very simple and easy to do. But how often have you actually seen these 2 scales used in music you’ve played? What kind of music would those 2 scales be mostly used in?
