As for the band I am/was/is in, I think we're on hold for the moment because everyone is too financially tapped out at the moment. IDK...I don't too much post that anywhere anymore. I sort of make it a point to kind of avoid that subject these days. Part of how I ended up on MusicBanter in the first place was that I got a bit overwhelmed with modern social media platforms in part because of music and I try to keep a low profile online about that stuff now. If you want low-fi drone bass stuff, point me to an uploading place and I'll kick some that way. Otherwise, I'm gonna wait it out until I can get into a proper home recording studio with some ideas. I know someone that has one, but he's going through some stuff right now and it's just not the right time.

Pentatonic Scale:
Style: Blues, Rock I use this scale extensively in blues and rock improvisation. Its simple, five-note structure makes it versatile and easy to use in various musical contexts. Blues Scale: Style: Blues, Rock Like you, I love the blues scale for its soulful and expressive qualities. It adds that classic bluesy flavor to my playing and works well in blues and rock styles. Dorian Mode: Style: Jazz, Funk, Fusion The Dorian mode has a smooth, jazzy sound that I enjoy using in jazz, funk, and fusion contexts. It adds a bit of sophistication to my improvisations. Natural Harmonic Minor Scale: Style: Metal, Classical This scale is perfect for creating a dark, mysterious atmosphere, making it ideal for metal and classical music. I often use it to add tension and drama to my compositions. Mixolydian Mode: Style: Rock, Blues, Funk The Mixolydian mode has a laid-back, bluesy feel that works well in rock, blues, and funk styles. It adds a bit of a twist to my improvisations, giving them a more colorful sound. Ionian Mode (Major Scale): Style: Pop, Country, Rock The Ionian mode, or major scale, is a staple in many genres, including pop, country, and rock. Its bright, cheerful sound is perfect for creating uplifting melodies. Lydian Mode: Style: Progressive Rock, Fusion The Lydian mode has a dreamy, ethereal quality that I like to use in progressive rock and fusion music. It adds a sense of otherworldliness to my compositions. Phrygian Mode: Style: Flamenco, Metal The Phrygian mode has a distinct, exotic sound that works well in flamenco and metal music. I often use it to add a bit of spice to my playing. Locrian Mode: Style: Experimental, Avant-garde The Locrian mode is the darkest and most dissonant of the modes, making it perfect for experimental and avant-garde music. I use it sparingly to create tension and contrast in my compositions. I hope this list gives you some new ideas to incorporate into your playing! |

Major scales, harmonic scales (and its variations), melodic/altered, diminished.
I've discovered 3 scales that are used a lot in Ethiopian music: 1. Standard pentatonic scale. 1,2,3,5,6. 2. Harmonic 5 note scale. 1,b3,#4,5,M7. Or it can be seen as starting on the b6 (the 1 becomes the b6). So then it becomes a harmonic scale, without the minor 1 and m4. 3. Another 5 note minor scale. 1,2,b3,5,b6. Could potentially be seen as the same as the scale above (2nd scale) except it has the 1 instead of the M7. |

Almost everything I make is pentatonic, mainly because I love how the black keys sound on my synths, but also because I'm lazy and *technically* not classically trained. Honestly though, if it works it works. To each their own.
