   Hi GMC - my name is Hisham Al-sanea. This is first time for me at GMC. So I want to show you how to pick an "ajosha" scale in E as a melody. The ajosha scale is common in the Middle East where I am living.

I use my fender Stratocaster with dimarzio hum-pickups and lagg spit fire preamp Tube gives a nice and warm sound.

I hope to enjoy my first lesson!
--Hisham

One question though, what's the theory behind this exotic scale? I mean, what's the structure of the scale?

that was a different one for sure, maybe play slow on playback and not slow-mo? hard to see and hear on slow-mo

This scale consists of the following notes, if you apply western classical theory to it:

root
minor 2nd
major 3rd
perfect 4th
perfect 5th
minor 6th
major 7th

so the differences from a major scale would be the 2nd and 6th are lowered a half step.

One question ?Why does the video break at 34 sec and then come back in with you playing the next part?I even thing it does it 3 times throughout the whole video.Are you just layering the lesson or video and not playing it all at once?

thanks for all in GMC. really glad to me thats you likes my first lesson .just want to say: in this lesson i used two cameras sencronized to cakewalk sonar6 producer edition so you can produce audio /video in a good way.
"also many thanks to kristofer for his support"
see you in the nex lesson

Could you fix the slow videos so it's you actually playing it slow instead of just slowing it down with software? It doesn't sound very good at all right now, and is hard to follow.

thanks for you fordperfect5
you asked about sync the audio and video first you need a hard ware conecting to the camera & to the PC
so audio going direct to the audio card to the PC and the video to the cameras and then mix every thing on sonar .cach it
nice to meet you again
