Bb Melodic Minor Scale

The Bb melodic minor scale (also written A#) — Bb C Db Eb F G A — mapped across the whole guitar neck.

Also written A# melodic minor. A# and Bb are the same pitch, though spelling it from A# would need double accidentals (A# B# C# D# E# F## G##), which is why Bb is the name in use.
