If you have ever wanted to experiment with new modes or scales. Here's a great resource.

You can find these, along with hundreds of others:

Blues Pentatonic

Verdi's Scala enigmatica

Chromatic Hypophrygian

I don't think you can count yourself as a true musician until you've learnt them all! ;-)

I think you need to be more systematic

Oh I know them all... I play them quite regularly actually when I attempt to play a regular pentatonic scale!!!

I feel a 'JONK moment' coming on:


For those of you with Logic, ctrl click on the metronome button on the transport bar, and select "metronome settings". The settings window that opens has a button at the top labeled "tuning"; there you will find quite a list of tunings to choose from. (It's nowhere near as exhaustive a list as Smokey's resource, but ....
Maybe this works in GB, too?

what does it mean? how do you do these? for example one of them said: 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 or something like that. does that mean the scale is E E F E E F F? I am a musical idiot.
