Members mattburnside Posted December 18, 2002 Members Share Posted December 18, 2002 Harmonic minor and its modes (like phrygian dominant) come immediately to mind. Oh, and blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thamiam Posted December 18, 2002 Members Share Posted December 18, 2002 The altered chord/scale. The minor ii-V-I (Think you might ever wan't to play 'Blue Train'? Or how about 'Summertime' with the original Gershwin harmonies instead of the simplified Real Book version?) If you stick to major scale harmony, that basically means you are using #9ths, b13ths and #5's only as passing tones, never as chord tones. Sounds limiting to me. But hey, it's not like you couldn't make a lifetime of music with just major scale harmony. Whatever buzzes your tower. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever buzzes your tower. *shrug* OK, this was just for fun and I use other scales too, don't worry But you can get a lot by using just the major scale, or a mix of several major scales. Altered tones? On a G7 you can play the F# major scale, lots of altered notes there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a G7 you can play the F# major scale, lots of altered notes there But it is not an "altered scale", like when you look at a lead sheet and you see "G alt". That is a specific chord/scale taken from a mode of the melodic minor scale. Also known as "G b9#9#11b13#13", but that is a pain in the ass to write and read.

Members thamiam Posted December 18, 2002 Members Share Posted December 18, 2002 Specifically, the 7th mode of the melodic minor. Sorry to leave that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that's true. But it hits a lot (if not all) the altered notes so it'll "do the trick" too It is a tritone sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Regio Posted December 19, 2002 Members Share Posted December 19, 2002 Originally posted by Terje Go ahead and tell me How about a scale sequence where a minor second interval is followed by a minor third? (i'm talking consecutive notes - going from the 7th to the root to the minor third in melodic minor doesn't count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
