The other major progressive rock forum lists the Beatles as World Music as one of the four progressive rock subgenres they have tagged for the Beatles.


You're not seriously suggesting the Beatles for the Raga Rock genre, are you?

In European music theory it is a major scale with a flat 9 and a flat 6.
In common usage slang its often called the "Indian" scale.

With D as your root try these:
D D# F# G A A# C# D
D E F# G A B C D mixolydian
D D# F# A B D major pentatonic b9
D Eb F G A Bb C D    phrygian
D E F G A Bb C# D   harmonic minor
D D# F# G A A# C D mixolydian b9 b6 a favorite of M Davis

There are more, try putting these in different keys also.
There are books out with Raga scales, probably stuff on the internet too.
