Name your favorite scale, and a really intresting.

Name your favorite scale, don't forget the key.

I love C# major, most people hate it because (unless you have changed your tuning) is vary hard to play on other instruments like cello. If your a pianist it is vary easy and feels fun, but other wise you have to change things a little.

As for a vary interesting scale, Pelog (H-W-WH-WW-H-H) in any key is really amusing. Like C Pelog - C,C#,Eb,F#,A#,B.

Whats your favorite, and most intriguing scale(s)?

i like b maj, very awsome cool scale

i like F#WHOLE TONE W-W-W-W-W
ITS weird as hell,but sounds good in any f# song.

My favorite scale is in the key of A but I cant figure out a name for it. it is a minor pentatonic with a major 3rd (A,C#,D,E,G,A). it sounds really happy. So Id say that one fits both categories I think.

@thatguitarguy I have used that scale also and like you I have no idea what it's called. I dubbed it

I like to use the Japanese scale a TON. sounds very melodic yet different and really lets me break away from all the flurries of notes(sort of like busting into a pentatonic for a little bit), it helps me break things up a little bit so the solo isn't just a frenzy of notes :) that and I love japanese music

@ case211---there are four japanees scales in the scale section here. Do you mean all of them of one particular?

And my favorite ascale at the monent is.

Double Harmonic... any key.... fantastic scale to play around with in odd time signatures

I'll take an A blues ^_^

@Null

Mainly Japanese (A) but I like the other ones too... My particular liking of it, is the shapes too, they make for fun transitions and interesting bends.

Hungarian Minor

Rock on!

I love C minor.

Dorian, Pentatonic. C minor is just great.

I mix up scales a lot though. Like a C major but with a B flat in the scale instead of B. Just whatever sounds best.

Cb or G (mixolydian)
A or F (Major)
B (Minor)

one thing I like to do is use different keys in my lead playing for one solo or lick. If the key is B Minor I will usually use a B Minor scale(Like B Dorian or Phrygian). It's more interesting in the long run IMO and it gives me more choice for what I have to work with. Plus some notes even though they aren't in key technically, will sound awesome.

Phrygian Major aka. Spanish Gypsy is cool. 1,b2,3,4,5,b6,b7. 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale.

@ Guitarslinger 1,#2,3,#4,5,6,b7 Is Hungarian Major
1,2,b3,#4,5,b6,7 is Hungarian Minor. Both are very awesome.

Good catch.

I also like the Major blues scale 1 2 b3 3 5 6

@everyone thank you for your participation, I would like you all to know that I am going to use this to dive into new scales that I haven't before. :P thanks.

@Guitarslinger124 good to see you, all ways love your input.
