This is one of those youtube crimes. How can this not have millions of views? So awesome!

[Voodomania]

Terrific.

I just want to point out that if you take 1-3-57 chord of the Locrian bb3, bb7 scale (7th mode of the double harmonic scale), and "invert" it to inversion 1, you get a Dominant 7 chord with a root on the b2 degree above the root of the double harmonic scale, you get what I believe is called the augmented 6th chord or Neapolitan chord, which can resolve to the I chord of the double harmonic scale. Hope that makes sense :)

[AFcunningham]

4th and 7th modes of the melodic minor scale and the double harmonic scale are probably my favorite as far as "cool sounding" goes :).

[AFcunningham]

good accurate info. thank you for this.

[Nardbluzrootz]

how on gods green earth do you know all these scales and how do you play them so beautifully and seamlessly

[Andronizer]

I`ve watched it till the end and... WOW! Superb!

[Andronizer]

Thanks for a decent playing and a very informative (and interesting, not boring) video.

[Cobrango]

The neapolitan is really interesting! I love the melodic minor (pretty strange to like a scale huh?) and then there is the neapolitan, same thing, flattened second. Boom! A whole new universe :D thank you!

[falots]

wow, I'm surprised this doesn't have more views, because it's brilliantly played and one of the most informative lessons on scales I've found

[MrChristophSchmidt]

...damn ...you are crazy ...in a good way :-)

[BOGZASV8MA]

hungarian scale is the gypsy scale

[jon1carlo]

Thank you very much! I've been trying to find a resource like this for a while.

[foundring]

@jon1carlo you're welcome! Glad this helped...I learned so much from making this too.

Don't forget to watch my first two instructional videos on the diminished scale and the melodic minor modes.

[PunkFloyd73]

Thanks so much!!!

[o0tracytrac0o]

Are you and imitatum the same person? O.o

[AIKevorkian]

There I found it! The scale I refer to as "My scale" is at about 3:20. You call it the Byzantine Scale. I love it! I would always get "wow" reactions whenever I would hold the damper pedal down and do a fast whole-tone scale all the way up the keyboard (like "Romper Room", lol), and follow with "my" Byzantine Scale. Awesome!

[FloATsoad]

this is nice but i guess i cant easyly learn from it

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

okay. damn son!

[jimisru]

That wasn't so much a lesson as it was a brilliant display.

I can't wait to hear your next composition.

[gmacster]

Woah... A lot to digest. Very good resource. Makes me glad that I play the cello though. Thanks
