So, I was practicing the Dorian Scales, and I just started messing around and came up with this...

 

Play it a few times and let me know what you guys think. kay?

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.

Was a genie supposed to aparate or something?

Hello Ethan!

 

What scale it's based around? It seems like B-major (C-sharp Dorian), then the C,D,G,A notes come in...

 

 

Cheers... Bence

I tried it once but I didn't inhale....

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.

Whoa... hold on. Youse guys are gettin' all theoretical on my a$$...

Wait a second...are you saying there is more than just the minor pentatonic scale? Wild.

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!
