What exactly is a "melodic minor scale"?

An electronic tuner might be nice. They're not essential but they do make it a lot easier, and they're getting really cheap these days! It might also be nice to have a spare set of strings.

But you won't need those for a while.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
