I have a question..
Where should I start/What should I start with? I know very little theory, but maybe it's time to look into it a little bit. |

I have a question about scales. I was practicing this lesson today: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-Be...Dominant-Scale/
and it made me wonder what the rules are for determining rather a scale is dominant or not? Does it depend on the structure of the scale or is it related to what chord progression is being used when playing the scale over music?

Does it depend on the structure of the scale or is it related to what chord progression is being used when playing the scale over music? Thanks in advance! Hey, glad you are checking out that lesson, great scale to work on! To determine if a scale is dominant or not you just need to look at two notes, the 3rd and the 7th. If you have a major 3rd and a minor 7th then it's some sort of dominant scale. From there you can look at the other notes to determine if it's got any alterations such as b9 or #5, but the 3rd and 7th are a great place to look to start. The most common dominant scale is the Mixolydian mode, which is built R-M2-M3-P4-P5-M6-m7, so it has the major 3rd and the minor 7th, and everything else is normal so no alterations. I would try that out, and start with learning the Mixolydain mode first to get that scale and sound under your fingers, then you can move on to other dominant scale and sounds from there. Cheers! -------------------- |

I have a question about modes of the melodic minor scale. In one of my notebooks I wrote this down a long time ago but forgot about till recently.......
Melodic Minor modes based on altering just one note in three note per string pattern: Ionian b3 Like regular Ionian mode but with a b3.... Dorian b2 Etc... Phrygian b1 lydian b7 Mixolydian b6 aeolian b5 Locrian b4 Would this even work? I thought the melodic minor was a minor scale with a #6 and 7? Any help appreciated -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

Hey mate, I am not good at all with this mode as I have barely used it, but I can recommend you to take a look over the Melodic minor dedicated thread and understand the theory from that spot on, because it's very well written
