  Definition of Minor scale
This variant is sometimes referred to as the descending melodic minor scale as it is often used in descent from the tonic.
The ascending melodic minor scale is constructed by sharpening the 6th and 7th scale degrees of the minor scale (or, equivalently, flatting the third degree of the major scale).
Harmonic minors are constructed by sharpening the 7th degree of the minor scale.

 Basic chord progressions (illustrated on mandolin)_@TheCipher.com
Note, when you add the minor scales and their natural triads you essentially complete the picture (the pallets and flavors) and have available the resources of what is called the Major/minor system, or the grand pallet.
Once you get comfortable with playing it in the ascending direction, play the whole sequence in the descending direction, that is, from the last triad to the first (the higher pitched C Major triad to the lower pitched C Major triad.)
The next logical things to explore are the minor scale triad pallets, inverted triad voicings, (and on guitar: larger 4, 5, and 6 string voicings and triad barre-chords), seventh chords, seventh chords in progression, inverted seventh chords and beyond.

For instance, the minor second in a chord (eg, a C major chord containing C-G-Eb-E, where the minor second is Eb and E) played by itself is rather sour sounding, but used in a ragtime progression, it nicely kicks off the next chord change.
