Members RG450 Posted July 28, 2005 Members Posted July 28, 2005 I'm stuck. I can't seem to find a scale that works. I've tried just doubling it in octaves, stuff like that, but nothing sounds right. If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know. It's an Asus-G, but the guitar is tuned down a whole step.
Poparad Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 For Gsus F, use C major. Gsus and F are the V and IV chords in the key of C. You can also use G major pentatonic, F major pent, and C major pent. The C major scale (the 7 note one) contains all the notes of those three pentatonics (a lot of the notes overlap).
Members buddastrat Posted July 29, 2005 Members Posted July 29, 2005 There's a ton of things you could use, but off the top I'd use G dorian (A dorian with the tuning thing).
Members MrSteed Posted July 29, 2005 Members Posted July 29, 2005 I think you'd find G- myxolidian would be the best primary scale to use. That's basically C-maj (5th mode). G dorian works too I think. I would tend to use it as a secondary. C Harmonic minor, for a real exotic flavor, I think would work as well. The of course, various pentatonics which you could extract as subsets of the above scales....
