Hi, I need serious help! I need to broaden my horizons.
I need a cool scale, something u can thrash to and something that uses alot of streaching.

Thanks.
If I leave here tomorrow,
Will you still remember me?

For cool scales try exotic .

For stretching you don't need scales (although some scale patterns involve streching) , you need exercises ... Check out John Petrucci's "Rock Discipline" vid.

I've posted some pieces in odd scales on this site, Here they are in order of difficulty:

http://www.guitartricks.com/2000/trick.php?trick_id=3382

My portion of my brother's website has 32 different scale forms, none of which are modes of each other. When I've updated it it will be nearer 60. Go to "Friends", then "Andrew F." and then it'll be easy to find.

The link to "scales diagram page" will give you the intervals of some scales.

Lots of these are freaky, my favourites are Harmonic Minor, Bhairava, Reverse Harmonic Minor (more usually called Harmonic Major) and if you want something really frightening try Hungarian major or Enigmatic.


If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
