Let's just forget it, it's not even an issue.

Friends? :cool:

Friends, but for the record, I know many classical students, and they all know the melodic and harmonic minor as forms of mixture, not technically scales themselves. I mean, they are scales, but in reality they're just mixture from the relative major.
