Melodic Minor Scale
A minor scale with different notes when ascending/descending.
“Possibly Maybe” uses two weird scales: Lydian mode, in the verses, and melodic minor scale, in the chorus and outro.
This Bach piece uses the G minor melodic scale in sections. It also modulates a bit into the major. Your music teacher can hopefully 😉 point out the harmonic changes of which there are a quite a few!!!!!! Note the use of the mordent too.
