wow this is awesome. I have been playing in the diatonic for a while and have been really bored lately after memorizing all of it and feeling like I had no where to go. This idea is so simple that I am amazed I haven't figured it out yet. I guess in a way I have been adding notes to scales to make them more interesting but I didn't ever have the theory behind it.

I just wanted to thank you guys for this series of threads. And rest assured you certainly broke at least one player out of his box. :D thanks.
