What scales do you use?

Re: What scales do you use?

All this scale/ mode craze cracks me up. Truth be told, any guitar player accustomed to rock/ metal/ blues in general, should be able to get away with the ol' blues scale, cause rock chords are limited to two-fingered power chords.

Unless you have a keyboard player (or a rhythm guitar player playing clean) playing extended voicings on the background, those modes won't fit the entire scene properly.

You can't just throw any mode in there without any regard for the chords played on the background, you know.

I guess lack of understanding of chords is the reason why rock players have problem applying those exotic nautical/ super locrian scale...ouch!

If you're only playing with a bassist (and drummer), you can be plenty liberal with the tonality.

Especially a bassist who only knows the root or the 5th.

All of them. Though not always correctly or appropriately.

Indeed.
I have plenty of examples on YouTube.
Though not necessarily all nice.

Re: What scales do you use?

This is actually the scale I was referring to when I posted "gypsy minor".
I've always called it gypsy-minor because it's listed as such in Al's book, but researching it looks like that name can be used for a few different scales.

Byzantine maybe is the more specific name then.
