What is your favorite scale to use? And don't just give me that basic Ionian/Aeolian stuff.
For instance, my favorite scale is the G-sharp Mixolydian b2 scale, or G# A B# C# D# E# F#. I discovered it on my own while playing around with the G# Mixolydian scale on my guitar and accidentally playing the A string open, and discovering how much I love the sound. The b2-3 sound gives it an exotic flair and I already love the 3-4-7 pattern on the A and D strings, so it's perfect for my sound.
Here are the two main positions I play it in, starting on the E and G strings.
- Code: Select all
E|----------1-2-4--
B|----1-2-4--------
G|1-2--------------
D|----------3-4-7--
A|----3-4-7--------
E|4-5--------------
