Above in the previous topic, we talked about everything we could be doing to be more in control of the song that we will be playing. And I will also be breaking down what it is you can be doing to change your sound as a player based on the scales that are available.
The major scale is the most basic western music scale that exists. Therefor it is extremely important to know this scale in every single key like the back of your pocket. Well, in a way these are 3 different version of the Major scale, and I will give you exactly the example of what they look like and why they are important to know!
It is used in any music genre, from classical, to jazz to pop music. The hexatonic scale is the way to go for free solos without worrying too much, but it is really good to know all of them!
So make sure you practice all of them! It is also important to know that these 3 versions of the major scale also exist in the minor scale, however they do look a little bit differently, and we will have a look at that right now!
Well, same as the major scale, the septatonic version is the most widely used version. If we were to be in the key of C minor, we would have the following notes be part of our C minor septatonic scale.
The hexatonic version is essentially the septatonic version, without the 6th degree, or the 6th note, which in this case is the Ab note. Why the 6th note is taken out in the minor version while the 4th note is taken out in the major version, is because they essentially have the same version. Let me explain. Every major scale has a relative minor. You can look at them as siblings and family members, which is why we call them relative.
The relative minor to C major is not C minor, but A minor. So, if in the hexatonic major scale of C we take out the 4th note, which is F, we take out the 6th note in the minor hexatonic version, which is also the F note. The pentatonic scale follows the exact same principle of the major pentatonic scale.
Essentially using the same notes as its relative major. So, if we look at the C major pentatonic scale and see that the notes that are being used are the C D E G A notes, and we know that the relative minor scale of the C major scale is A minor, we then take the same exact notes, except we just start it from the A note, which then we get A C D E G, which equates to the mathematical formula of 1 b3 4 5 b7. Essentially, if we were to use G7 as an example, we could play the altered scale over the following dominant chord version that you could come across in music.
There are a few other combinations such as dominant chords with a 5 and regular 9s, however I would use another scale on that for the sound of things. It would be really could if your piano player who accompanies you would play an altered chord any of the ones mentioned above , but we could simply play the scale over it without the proper voicing underneath it, and it would still give some kind of cool effect.
When you do learn the altered scale, it is important to know that you can essentially make hundreds of different combinations that could end up in patterns.
