Man there are so many freaking exotic scales and modes and what not, maybe someone in here could recommend me something outside of the standard, maj, min, harmonic min, melodic min, aug, and modal stuff.

 

Give me like a Zimbabwae southeastern #13 scale!!!

 

I know people in here could recommend some cool ones!!

i don't much about those type of scales but there a lot, such as:

hisdutani

javanese

spanish

arabian

persian

super locrian

and many more

they are the so called "exotic scales"

Just going the through the modes of harmonic minor will give you some cool exotic sounds. I particularly like phrygian dominant which is based on the 5th degree and goes 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7.

1 2 b3 #4 5 6 b7

C D Eb Gb G A Bb C


It's from the harmonic minor family.. 4th mode.

 

 

very nice, I will play with that one for a while.

I stumbled across a site, and there is like 40 exotic scales or something, tons.... I was just wondering what are some standout ones for you guys.

If it's a dominant scale, shouldn't the 7th be lowered?

Whoops! You caught me. That should be 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 b7.

Although you can play the beginning of miserlou with the natural 7.
