"a Dead C Scrawls excavation... ya dig?!"
This month's Shortbook™, “The Book of Altered II - Extensions & Dimensions”, is the follow-up and natural extension of the previous “Book of Altered”; its main focus being the so called “ACE” ii-V7-i formula, which refers to the letter names of the trio of applicable Melodic Minor Scales, and is once again featured and expanded upon (ACE in your FACE).
The “ACE” acronym, refers specifically to the ii-V7-i cadence in E minor, and is the only Melodic Minor grouping that actually spells a recognizable word. Note, however, that each grouping contains the letter names which make up a particular minor triad, with the final letter being that of the tonic minor key. This can be a useful shortcut in determining which pertinent Melodic Minor keys work together as “ACEs”.
