- Hexatonic Scales
Here
is a compilation of six note scales that I have found to be interesting
to study and create phrases with. By restricting the number of note
choices you make your line or phrase clearer. Alternating between
the two triads creates interest to the listener because it creates
tension and release. When you accentuate a triad that doesn't have
the root of the chord in it or that the root of the triad is not
the root of the chord, you create a feeling of poly modality.
These examples
cover most harmonic situations you may find yourself in.
Although you
may practice them alone, working with a play along CD helps you
hear the magic that they create. Beginning
Improvisation 1 & 2 CD's have tracks in all keys that support
these scales.
