Beautiful!

@bubble0doom I should add I'm speaking entirely of minor. If it's major it wouldn't have the same law. I guess my argument is a little flawed. But it is what it is

Thanks a lot! I wish it too :)

I wouldn't even bother advertising this as double harmonic. Harmonic minor sure, but you barley played the sharp 4th. I have yet to see someone play an actual double harmonic well.

@bubble0doom
that because we don't apparently share the same definition of the Double Harmonic scale. So, according to Persichetti's book "Twentieth century harmony", and assuming E as tonic (as in the video) the scale is E F Gsharp A B C Dsharp. I'm therefore focusing on the chromatic segment Dsharp E F. There is no sharp fourth unless you start the scale from A which would be call Hungarian minor, if I'm not mistaken.

@mashcot Yes you are right there would be a D# in A but the scale itself has a raised 4th in any key wouldn't it? I hear the chromatic section but I still think that it is sparsely used. I'm not bashing you it's a hard scale to make sound good but, it mostly sounds like just harmonic minor.

I'm not quite sure to completely follow you here. The scale as I play it in the video has no raised fourth, and it wouldn't have any if you transposed it in A. You would have A-Bflat-Csharp-D-E-F-Gsharp. Can you tell me what would be proper double harmonic scale ? I'm not claiming to do it right, it just that I had fun playing that way :)

@mashcot is there a specific "modal" name for the double harmonic scale you used? like, for example, natural minor modes = ionian, dorian, etc...are there "modes" for the double harmonic scale?

Not that I know. I just know that played from the fourth it would be called Hungarian minor.
