In this chapter, I will teach you 7th chords in the melodic minor scale.
Let’s divide the chords into groups as described in Chapter 4.
Each group includes chords with common chord tones.

Tonic Chords Group
Sub Dominant Chords Group
Dominant Chords Group
Here, Am7(♭5) is little tricky.
This chord and CmM7 in the tonic group have three common notes. However, the chord does not include “B note” which is a characteristic note in CmM7, so it should be in the subdominant group rather than the tonic group as a substitute chord.
Here is a list of triads in C Melodic minor scale.
It looks quite simple when they are listed like this. You can get many ideas by playing chords and melodies from this list.
Let’s study how the scales are used in the next chapter.
