 Hiya. Just thought I'd share this scale with anyone who's interested. It's a pretty dark and haunted sounding scale. Not nearly as middle eastern sounding as the harmonic minor scale or the algerian scale. But very cool. I wrote a neat 3-piece harmonized riff that will probably be in some Tribune song down the road. It's in drop tuning(like drop D, drop C, drop... puppies... etc). That's the tuning I'm used to playing in all the time. So most of my scales are drawn up that way. |

Sorry. I almost forgot. That's the Neopolitan Minor scale. Not sure what other names it might have.

Cool stuff, I'm familiar with the mongolian pentatonic scale. (Pentatonic minor, except the 2nd note in the scale aka the minor harmonic to the key of the scale, is the root instead) There's all those Japanese scales like Kumoi and Hiragoshi that are actually just tuning styles for a partciular instrument. Can't remember it's name. I love Gypsy sounding stuff. Old In Flames sounds like fucking Gypsy Metal

Into the Storm by Blind Guardian is a sweet example of that sort of thing.

The only real exotic scale i can think of is playing the E Aeolian scale overtop of the F# chord, It results in the F# Locrian, which is supposedly diminished, but i dont know, it just sounds gay to me. Some modes are pretty pointless, but I learned them anyways, Royal Conservatory is a big waste of time, good thing I learned all of their stuff from someone who went there and not actually going there myself.

By exotic scales, I mean any scale not related to the major scale. There are simple ones like the leading whole-tone scale(all notes a full tone/2 frets apart). And others that are easy enough to guess such as Double Harmonic and anything related to it like Major Phrygian or the Overtone scale.
Doing 2 and 3-part harmonies with this stuff is amazing. More tools for your repertoire. That is of course if you know how to use them to their fullest potential.
