  • Unusual way to play chromatic scale

    I happened across a neat (probably not new) pattern on guitar.

    It ends up using every note in the chromatic scale, but I'm not sure if it'd still be considered chromatic since the notes aren't played in series like a normal chromatic scale.

    Using the 12 chromatic notes (start on any note), the pattern is like so:



    G#, A, B, C#, D, E, etc.

    It sounds kind of musical but I'm not sure in what context it could actually be used.

    Given the fact you keep using the same fingers on each string, it's easy to get cooking and play some fast lines with it.

    I'm almost sure that's the Pixelgrinchian scale ... very seasonally appropriate.
    I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .
