Mine is good ol' natural minor. I also like that one that goes C-D-E-F#-A#-A#-C. What's that one called?

I think this is like the mixalaydian or one of those Ionian or something . I found it by ear.It's sort of a Harmonic and melodic minor. What ever it is. you take a major and lowerr the 3, 6, and 7. I do the same changes to all my scales and they sound dark. Scale is not more important than the chord changes. they change the style as well, like 1,4,5 in classical or 12 bar blues chord changes, or 32 bar standard jazz etc.

like this? that's straight aeolian, which is just a minor scale, in this case c minor.

aw, fuck didn't tick the box, hence no scale

the aeolian or natural minor's on the left.

the melodic minor changes depending on if your going up or down. the descending part is the natural minor (left side). the right side is the ascending part, with a raised 6th and 7th. yippee.

harmonic minor raises the 7th a half step (so there's a step and a half between 6th & 7th). this avoids a minor V chord.

The only difference between the melodic minor and the major scale is the flattened 3rd.The Harmonic minor has a flat 3rd and a flat 6th and the �olian/natural minor has a flat 3rd,flat 6th and a flat 7th.Imo (Brett B) scales are vital to understanding harmony all chords are built from scales and in order to understand harmony/chord construction you need to know scales.Both the Melodic and Harmonic minor scales give you 2 minor,2 major and 2 diminished triads plus one augmented triad whereas both the Major scale and the Natural minor scale give you 1 diminished triad,3 minor triads and 3 major triads.Personally I think the Harmonic and Melodic minor scales give you more harmonic possibilities but what the fuck do I know?

This is what i meant, take a mojor scale and lower the 3,6,7 notes melodic and harmonic are ignored. I forgot to check the add key thing too.

This is an Indian scale I particularly like. It's
used in Rag Todi. Beautiful sound. I like
messin with the Aug4 and trickin them into
thinking that the fifth is flattened.... then bam!!! I
hit em with a P5 and they shit their britches...
Nahhhsse.

Peaceout,

Peter
