What scales do you know... and use?

[DavidP]

I suppose that I know them all but not very well. I don't use any of them. About the time I started trying to learn and understand all the scales and modes, I found Kirk's Plane Talk. It eliminated the need to memorize all of that stuff.

[allthumbs]

Same thing as Dave. Never could get a handle on scales. Glad I left em behind.

I pretty much know them all myself but only really use major scales for the purpose of chord structure.
I did play around with some pentatonic scales for some improv soloing but it is not something I really do much.
Learn major scales, all other scales are derived from the major scales.

I'm with allthumbs and David, I've never used them.

[Alfcarguy]

I think he left some out like the natural minor scale, blues scale, harmonic minor scale,melodic minor scale,whole tone scale, exotic scales- Ehglimatic, Hirajoshi,Kumor, Oriental, Pelog,Kokin Joshi, P'yongio, Iwato,Cinese, Japansese, Egyptian,Scriabin,Hungarian,Gypsy,Hungarian Major,Romanian,Persian,Hindustan,Neopolitan Minor,Neopolitan Major,Overtone,Prometheus, Ritusen,Arabian Scale

Okay I am just jacking with you but those are real scales

[WernHalen]

I use the major and minor Pentatonics, blues scales major scale (and other derivatives like dorian etc., but unknowingly) <-This is a story for another day... I am starting to study up the minor melodic scales. Its all well to know the scales but using them is antoher story.

i am interrested in getting myself the PT book. Maybe that will negate my need to learn the scales???

I know some of them but I never used them really

What is PT book Wervan Halen

[missileman]

PT is a book named "Plane Talk" written by our very own fearless leader Kirk Lorange.
Here is a link that explains it all.

"Neopolitan Minor,Neopolitan Major"

I prefer the Neopolitan Minor myself. It is usually done with less of the Strawberry flavor. The Major has equal amounts of all three flavors.........

This IS what you were referrin to ...isn't it?

[Alfcarguy]

Must have missed the part I said those are real Scales

[justinthyme]

I know most of these scales in theory and use them ALL the time; unfortunately all at the SAME time - that's the problem!
