(*NOTE: The Melodic Minor scale is played backwards from how it is written
here, as it is going Down, not up. We provided it in its ascending order
so you can recognize it quickly as a Natural Minor scale…because a
Melodic Minor scale when descending is a Natural Minor scale. This is
true for all the exercises listed in this section.)
