Hey Ethan,, not sure what you are trying to do here.

Are you playing it over something?

Is it just an exercise?

 

Other than random patterns I don't see a scale that I'm familiar with and either it's not in a particular key or it's changing?

 

Feel free to clue me in. lol.

It's a combo of diffrent Dorian scales aswell as a Dorian sweep pattern its ment to be played as a scale with nothing ontop of it. It's an exercise that u came up with to help strengthen my pinky and stretching the pinky, as I find that I can't hammer with it. Which makes songs like the Duncan hills coffee jingle harder. It seems to work cuz my fingers had a hard time with it the first couple times I played it through. As for scale and stuff I have no idea :P I'm theoretically challenged haha

Try this scale. A Dorian scale with a #4 in it. Play these notes D-E-F-G#-A-B-C-D. It's the basis for a lot of Greek music and one of my favorite scales.

This is pretty funky and yeah totally Greek sounding. I don't like the sound of it just as a scale but if you mix it up with this scale it's pretty interesting!
