“I searched the net for *borrowed melodic minor* because I wanted to see diatonic-based progressions where the melodic minor added colour. 🎓MS101 Episode 58 *Mode Mixture and Borrowed Chords* came up as the fourth result after 🎹JPS, 🌐wikiP, 🎸GW. Although the melodic minor didn’t seem to be touched up directly, it was brilliant to hear progressions where chords were borrowed from parallel modes. 🎼 I’ve geeked out on music theory for a couple of years and now it feels like some real magic is coming together. For example, episode 58 talked about the ♭⁶(♭¹³) flat six being included in the major scale. Jokes were made about coming up with a name for it. Then for me, something pinged in my brain… I read that it’s most commonly called *the Harmonic Major* 💡 As I type, my autocorrect (previously setup) reminds me, in parentheses, that a flat six is also a flat thirteen, ♭⁶(♭¹³). That made me think of the flat nine, ♭²(♭⁹) from the dominant chord in a minor progression: V⁷♭⁹♭¹³ …the 2 and 6 of the dominant chord remain a perfect fifth apart, which means they get flattened simultaneuosly. G⁷ gets A♭ & E♭ …as this is ♭⁶(♭¹³) and ♭³ (minor third) of the tonic: C (aeolian/natural minor). So, for me, this great discussion connected the dots between the so-called *C harmonic major(♭⁶)* , borrowing from the parallel minor(VI of c-) and the most common extended dominant chord in a minor key(V⁷♭⁹♭¹³ G B D F A♭ E♭ ➡️ C G C E(♭) B(♭) C) Also, episode 58 talked about being in D major and borrowing the ♭VII chord(C) and how how great it sounded going down to D's IV chord(G) Jokes again about giving this beautiful progression a name 😀 …I was screaming at my radio 📻 (sorry HomePod🙃) *guys, its just a backwards I, IV, V (1-4-5) in G 😭😂 Had fun with this episode 58.

PS Regarding the Picardy Third…
🇫🇷 “Jean-Luc Picard” means “John-Luke Sharp” 🇺🇸
🇫🇷 “Picket Fence” means “Sharp Fence“ 🇺🇸
🇫🇷 “Picardy Third” means “Sharp Third” (where you sharpen the third of the minor scale) 🇺🇸
