    they are not scales, but modes
    any scale has all these modes, starting on a different key, different mode. in c major, c-major, d-dorian, e- phrygian etc

    There are actually 3 minor scales not one: natural, harmonic and melodic. If you want to build a harmonic minor scale then simply augment the 7th note of the natural minor scale. I don't really understand what you mean by advice. Simply build utilizing the formula for the modal scale you're interested in working with. Or you can search online and get a list of scales and the notes in them. Easy as pie.

    well they're all based off subtle variations of the minor scales. The three main are natural, harmonic and melodic as Catalyst said and then those are changed around a little within different modes, usually in the second half of the scale...

    not too hard to learn but very difficult to remember...takes years tbh :sad:

    with metronome or beat. not too fast ( doesn't care about virtuosity without musicality;-)
    - right hand,
    - then left hand
    - then both as mirror
    - then opposite way ( one up other down & vise 'n versa)
    - but don't forget to sing it. Best way to learn and catch/keep it. More you sing your stuff more you catch it, more they are efficient too.
    - when you practice & sing , record yourself and listen .Very useful to catch your tempo prob ( when you work with a metronome or a beat), when you sing a wrong note or strike a wrong key.

    Then on metronome or beat try to improvise with 'lil structure. Build chords with these mode and play on it ( don't forget to record yourself and listen )

    Then let's talk 6 months later ;-)

    'njoy !
    Cheers

    There's a really good free e-book about music theory which is called 'the guide formerly known as the raven spiral guide'.

    You can get the latest version in the first post of this thread:

    I will post some music theory lessons in AudioSex Academy when I get a chance but considering I have a million things to do it will probably happen in about a week if I can get my hands on some good tuts. I could also write a tutorial myself but I probably won't have time or energy for that one in the near future. There's a lot going on at both forums. :wink:

    oh Music Theory for Computer Musicians is an excellent read for the producer who wants to know more about Music Theory but doesn't want to delve into sheet music.

    Search it up, it is a great book which combines musiv theory along with DAW composition practices, so you get to learn music theory using examples from MIDI as well as score notation...teaches you ALOT of interesting things :)

    I have used a lot of scales , and if you want the Truth , If you random some notes , it will become a probable Scale :D

    But the only thing that matters is the FEELING of that note , if you want really a different feeling , use BLUES and JAzzish SCAles :D

    they are completely Different From MINOR :D

    and read this Book , Music theory For Computer Musicians
    search this on google to find it :

    [[[[music theory for computer site:freebookspot.es]]]]]

    Hope i Help you :D

    Can anybody say if there's a kind of video version of "Music Theory for Computer Musicians"? Anything that comes close to that, but audio/visually? Just curious. Thanks.
