Hi , can anybody help me to find the Scale of this Guitar Loop ?

iam sure its a Fm-C-Gm Chord Progression , Scaler says it could be an F melodic minor Scale .

But when i play with a VST Instrument in this Scale over this Loop , everything sounds out of Pitch or something .

 

Try keydetect see if that helps.

 

What is keydetect ?

 

Monk - Small Windows App

It have scale finder.
It will help you with things like this. I recommend this app.

But I think you must be more precise.
It showing that
163 Scales containing those 3 notes





And there are 2 Chords

 

Sounds like F harmonic minor, but its pitched up 50 cent or so

 

Yes, 50 cents off exactly. (BL Chroma)

 

Its a wave plugin. I am sure there are free one on the internet.

Thank you very much....
oh man....I didn't even think it could be pitched a few cents, thanks a lot!

And I think to myself all the time why the hell does everything I play on it sound completely crooked

 

Try G# Major scale. (or F minor.)


/edit. Ignore me, Go with F harmonic minor as above...

F Harmonic Minor as mentioned above....

 

Usually key detectors just check the keys used in a sale, so it says Fm.
However, I loaded wav in slow downer, and I can say with a good probability that's a (badly detuned - about 50cents up) mixed C tonic based scale.

Play along chords C then Fm, it's basically a (minor) plagal cadence (I-iv-I) with some passage notes, C-Fm-C, better Fm in 2° inversion (C,F,Ab).

Use the following trick to see what's the tonic: play along C note (candidate I) and you'll get the release feel, something that you don't have playing along F note.

you youngsters digging too much with apps, tricks and iZotope RX

it cant be "harmonic minor" because the VI note it's a natural D (as the Gminor chord states)


here's the the notes with the triads built on every step

F - G - Ab - Bb - C - D - E
I II III IV V VI VII

F= F minor triad
G= G minor triad
Ab= Ab major triad
Bb= Bb major triad
C= C major triad
D= D dim triad
E= E dim triad

the 3 chords you need are on this scale, which is an F melodic minor

 

Yeah but if you play along in F harmonic minor, it sounds right. If you play along in F melodic minor, it sounds wrong. (especially that D..)

I'm going to upload a clip showing the chord sequence, based on C aeolian scale, that by chance, is the same as Fm melodic ascending, except tonic, first grade of course.

 

What Scale
1) played along;
2) see difference with C as tonic or F as tonic (F just doesn't work);
3) comparison ascending and descending Fm melodic and C aeolian major;
4) plagal cadence, minor and then major for comparison (I-iv-I, I-IV-I).

pretty fair my friend, I honestly didnt hear the file because I was in bed almost sleeping lol
I just followed the statement "Gm - C - Fm"

if it sounds harmonic minor, so the Gminor is a G dim, with a D flat
incorrect clue from the thread writer : )
