hello again..i have yet another question..when playing the hirajoshi scale is there a certain tuning i should be in..ive seen acouple of tabs here that are in D tuning..any suggestions?

Step patterns determine scales, not tunings. You can play any scale in any tuning. The shape might be different if one of your strings is tuned differently (like drop D), but the step pattern will be the same. Learn the notes of the scale rather than just the shape, and then you can play it in any tuning.

Agreed, learn the notes of the scale, not just the box shapes. Then you can play the scale anywhere on the fretboard. This will also help you learn the notes on the fretboard as well.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

I propose that it would be more worthwhile to learn the intervals. Learning the notes of a scale would only help you to play in a certain key, whereas if you know the intervals, you can take the scale and put it in any key.

That makes more sense.

If you know the notes of the scale, then just translate it to whatever you're tuning your guitar too.
That simple.

Well, this IS a guitar forum, I doubt you'll have much luck finding an expert on those traditional instruments on here. I suggest that you read up on those traditional instruments and learn as much as you can(their tunings, octave devisions,...), then you'll probably figure out yourself how to make your guitar simulate the sound you're after.
