The double harmonic major scale is also know as Byzantine scale, Ionian flat 2 flat 6, Flamenco mode, Major Romani and Gipsy major. It is made of seven pitches (heptatonic) giving the interval pattern :
The Super blues scale is a very useful scale, but I’ve found it doesn’t always adequately capture what jazz musicians actually play when improvising over a blues in a “bluesy” way.
This guitar lesson discusses a very useful way to come out new colors to your soloing or comping ideas called “Upper-structure Triads. This technique consists of superimposing triads to highlight extended notes of minor, major and dominant chords. Upper Structure Triads
The Romanian Major Scale is built of the following sequence of half (H) and whole steps (W) : H – H+W – W – H – W – H – W, giving the interval formula 1 (tonic), b2 (minor second), 3 (major third), #4 (augmented fourth), 5 (perfect fifth), 6 (sixth), b7 (minor seventh).
The Romanian minor scale is actually the fourth mode of the harmonic minor scale named Dorian #11. It is spelled 1 (tonic) – 2 (major second) – b3 (minor third) – #4 (augmented fourth) – 5 (perfect fifth) – 6 (major sixth) – b7 (minor seventh).
There are two modes depending on whether we start to play with the whole tone, in that case we will call it ” fully diminished (scale) ” (also called Whole-half diminished), or with the half-tone, called ” dominant diminished (scale) ” (or Half-whole diminished). diminished scale
The tritone scale is a synthetic scale and also regarded as being a symmetrical scale, because it is built with two same patterns made of one minor second + one minor third + one major second, a tritone away (three tones) hence its name.
In this lesson we will see how to harmonize the melodic minor scale in thirds with seventh chords. In other words we will see how to build seventh chords by stacking thirds from each degree of the melodic minor scale.
Hexatonic scales are made of six notes, even if you can get them from any pentatonic scale (by adding one note) or diatonic scale (by removing one note), the most popular are the blues scales (major, minor), the augmented scale, the whole-tone scale, the tritone scale and the Prometheus scale.
This guitar theory lesson covers a very important topic that any musician must know : How To Harmonize The Natural Minor Scale? In other words, you will learn how to build triads and seventh chords starting on each note of the natural (minor) scale.
