Favorite Musical Mode or Scale - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The combination of the Diminished Scale (Whole half) and blues scale that keith emerson uses in his Knife Edge Solo

I rather like the whole-tone scale. It's not such a great scale but it fits the style of music that I play and my playing style in general.

Trendsetter win!

The search for nonexistent perfection.

The mixolydian scale is extremely adaptable, of which I'm particularly fond. But I marvel at a good use of chromaticism - using that to link pentatonic licks together can be a really great way of improving your soloing skills. If only I knew how...

For me it's the Phrygian. It's so dark, great for metal and breakcore

Also a lot of the modes in Indian Classical Music are quite nice and brooding also.

Minor pentatonic with the occasional flattened 5th. Yum!

Just kidding, I was really interested to find out that Elmer Bernstein composed the scores for such legendary movies as "Airplane!" and "Ghostbusters," as well as the score to "Heavy Metal."
Very cool.

On McCartney's "Red Rose Speedway" there's a song called "Hold Me Tight" in which Paul uses a revolving Circle Of Fifth's

But I'm counting on my fingers and I come up with perfect fourths. (Oh man, it's been so long since I took theory)

NJcat_11 HELP ME!! is it 4th's or 5th's?

I don't know the piece, but I expect you're confused because fourths and fifths are the same thing. Going down a fifth (the usual resolution of dominant harmony) is the same as going up a fourth (often the way in which the circle of fifths is listed.) Like so: C-G-D-A-E-B-F#-C#/Db-Ab-Eb-Bb-F-C
