  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
  • What's the best scale to use with each chord, and how do chords and scales correlate to each other? It's actually easier than you think! In this tutorial, we talk about the fundamentals- this is basically a chord-scale correlation dictionary that you can refer back to in the future if you ever run into a tricky spot. As you add extensions to your voicings, you can adjust the scale you use- we'll talk about why.

    9:19 another way for me to remember the altered scale is that it's simply the major scale with all notes flattened except the tonic.
    => C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C
    and I guess that's probably why it's called the "altered" scale

    Easier way to wrap your head around Locrian #2 scale for half diminished chords: go up minor third and play that melodic minor scale. So a 2-5-1 in minor keys looks like: melodic minor of minor 3rd up for 2 half dim, melodic minor of half-step up for 5 alt, melodic minor of root for 1 m6/9
