Let’s say we have a chord progression C, G, Am, F. A dialect, if you will, that at a specific point in music, is the one that is “correct.” The one that we’re speaking. Scales | Their use and (mis)conceptionĪ scale, in my mind, is like a ballpark. In this post I’m going to go into the more “philosophical” level of “what scales are.” This means I assume you are familiar with the technical level of how they are constructed and know all the major and minor scales. Win-win.īefore we dive into some hands-on, tangible examples on how to use this “most common dialect” in music’s language – let’s make sure we’re on the same page on what a “scale” actually is. It also happens to be one of the easiest. One of the most commonly known, -used and recognised is the Pentatonic Scale. Ready to dive into a highly intriguing concept? A scale that is so widely used, so well known and so easy on the ears that being capable of using it – fully understanding it – is likely to notch you up to a whole new level? Enter the Pentatonic ScaleĪpart from regular major and minor scales, there’s a few more scales that we can use for playing things like licks, riffs, melodies and solos. Enter to find out how to understand, play and use the pentatonic scale to amaze and acquire. These are identical to the Locrian except for the raised second and flatted fourth.The Pentatonic Scale might just be the most usable, recognisable and widely appreciated scale of all. Two relevant scales are the Altered Locrian #2 (sharp two) and the Altered Locrian b4 (flat four), also known as the Super Locrian. The names were taken from regions or people – the Locrians once lived in Central Greece. The Locrian Scale emerged in the ancient Greece together with other scales such as Aeolian and Dorian. It is only a semi-step between the roots in the relative scales.
