Locrian -- HWWHWWW

Just to clarify, W means whole step (two semitones) and H means half step (one semitone).

EDIT: I'll be darned, no one beat me to it!


Glad some one else did it and not me. I was in the middle of typing then had to stop....'puter dropped out, and when I came back TA DAH!!!! :D :cool:

Suggestion-- also I have found that if you use a piano keyboard as a referece tool it seems to be easier to grasp the whole half/whole step stuff. 2 cents :o
