GMC Forum _ Alex Feather _ Scale Shapes?

Posted by: Nihilist1 Apr 15 2012, 04:22 PM

Hello, Alex!


I was wondering if you could give us the exercises you talked about to memorise the scale shapes we covered today! Thanks! The scales were Harmonic Minor, Whole-Tone, and Diminished.

Have a good day!

aw man I missed it sad.gif , it looks like it was an earlier lesson the time around, oh well at least i can check out the lesson notes when you get them up , Also Alex i was wondering if you ever tabbed out any of those examples you had of combining different scales and arppegios with tapping? I would love to go over those again and smash them into my brain smile.gif About the only one I can remember is combining the A penta and E penta which sounds pretty cool btw. cool.gif

Too bad you missed it! I will review everything next time! We will be talking about harmonic minor, whole tone and diminished scales for a while! So I am sure you will catch up!
Here is the tab for tapping!
First one is a combination of B minor pentatonic with D major triad
Second is combination of B minor and E minor pentatonics
Third is combination of G major and D major triads!
E |--17-10-14-7----------------------------------------|
B |--------------10-15-7-------------------------------|
G |-----------------------9--14-7----------------------|
D |--------------------------------9--16-7-------------|
A |-----------------------------------------9--17-7----|
E |----------------------------------------------------|


--10-15-7--12---------------------------------------|
