I am a Music Theory Major, I think I know what the problem is.
The Pianoist dewd is talking about moving the notes that make
up the harmonic and Melodic scale up so that they become the
Natural Minor scale again. To the guitarist, I don't think he
means move the entire scale up one fret, just the notes. Here's
what I think he means.

C Melodic Minor Scale

e:--------------------------
b:--------------------------
g:--------------4-5---------
d:--------3-5-7-------------
a:--3-5-6-------------------
e:--------------------------

The Mistake of the Pianist is that you move the notes down a step
to make them Minor again. See when you move the 7 on the D string
and the 4 on the G string down one fret it becomes the minor scale.

C Natural Minor

e:--------------------------
b:--------------------------
g:--------------3-5---------
d:--------3-5-6-------------
a:--3-5-6-------------------
e:--------------------------

It's the same on the Piano.
