Uncommon scales...in easy TAB format

[BMG_SKULK]

I wish someone would do this at a site...

Here are 3 little known or at least little used scales to throw in your repetoire...and not in that annoying {quote]1, 2, 3, 1,[/quote]

1. Pervi Theta in the key of E on a 6-string standard tuning...

--------------8-9-10-13-------------------------------------------------------

Corrected a tabbing error.

As I have to lay my guitar down to type, I often am already thinking of
another key, melody, or scale in my head...so...I often tab the wrong
damn number.

I can see people just can't get enough of this...

so...

I try and give audio examples...

This little short warm up jam along has the use of Pervi Theta in it.

I pronounce it Pur-vay Thay-tuh...sounds the coolest.

From the 19 second to 24.9 second mark it is used as a building
type run.

mp3....550 kb
Pervi Theta and Groove Tube warmness (http://f1velo-city.com/uploads/PERVI_THETA_GT.mp3)

There is also a clunked open-string note after the opening arpeggio
...whoops.

I didn't care...it's just a hit record...warm up...

Also, that Groove Tube I put in my Pre-amp sounds pretty good I think.

Still has dynamics...but is a little warmer...natural sounding.

Sounds pretty cool

I'd call it Lydian with a lowered second and some embellishing chromatic notes in the upper octave.

The lowered 2nd and the aug4 (tritone) give it a really evil sound.

Is this you playing all this? sounds cool.

Of course...

Except the drums...which is a loop I got off the internet and just copied
and pasted after trimming the silence before the thing starts.

I don't have any drums...nor a drum machine..nor know anyone to reliably
play drums for me. Besides...in my experience with my old drummer, who
was/is good...he just never played exactly like I wanted him to.

I only play my own music these days...as time is too short doing
covers of things already done and done best by the original writer...

The chromatics you hear are inside the Pervi Theta scale I think is what
you are referring to.

I have started using alot of chromatics in parts of the usual scales,
because it gets rid of the predictable. Also, chromatics are without
any pre-concieved feel or sound to them. Passing tones I think is the
proper name...

Like Harmonic Minor. Play it straight through and it starts out cool,
but by the end it sounds like a cheap arabian movie.

I either use chromatics or purposefully go not to the resolve note,
but to the scary, eerie, tense, weird note(s).

I hate predictability...and if you have listened to music, as varied
and as long as I have...almost anything common is predictable.

I tend to use a bunch of crazy chords and borrowed chords to add some character...something about all diatonic chords just sounds like an old plastic wiffle ball bat that has been setting out in the sun for a couples years with some water in it that has mosquito larvae.

Some music is so predictable and plastic it actually makes me sick to my stomach...I think that "I'm gonna soak up the sun, put my sp45 on" kind of cherryl crow songs do it for me every time...or when some dorm kid tries to swoon girls with that "your body is a wonderland" John Mayer cover...

I think you get my drift; I like music that is real and honestly reflects life.

maybe some people life so much on the surface that's what life seems like to them...

:lol: Great stuff...whiffle ball bat with mosquito larvae...:lol:

The last thing you said...yeah...real shallow...

Shallowness is so boring...

I can't even bring myself to say "Good morning!" when someone I don't know says it to me. It's so overused and sounds so...ingrained...

I usually just smile slightly...and say "Hey"...

Or, when I'm having a conversation with some people, and then someone else comes along and the topic goes to something I could not care less about.

It's like you can tell what they will say next, then the moment in the conversation comes and it's like it's your part to deliver the next
cliche'.

I usually yawn...stretch my arms...and say "yeah...I better go, got that thing. Check ya'll later"......or go...

"sorry...was thinking of something else...then start fishing for a
cigarette.

It irritates me if they don't let the moment pass and just go back to
yacking to each other and repeat a question or remind me of the topic.

Then I kind of slowly walk off...melt away...and go do something
interesting.

I used to do the same thing when I was a kid at the dinner table.

I would eat the things I liked...then pretend to drop my fork...and
crawl away under the table...outside the door I'd go and play.

Hey bud...I am at work right now...and I'm giving it to everybody here trust me.:cool:

Discussion about different types of music and also talking about it in terms
other than like you are reading from a car manual is all part of the fun.

You just have to be in that frame of mind...
