Title: Spanish or Jewish Scale
Post by: Muziqmann on August 16, 2006, 11:31:31 AM

This is a scale thet has a flat-2, flat-6 and a dominant 7.  I use it over a dominat 7 chord when resolving up a fourth (C to F).
In C it is: C, Db, E, F, G, Ab, Bb, C.

I hope you enjoy using this scale. GOD bless.

That is correct, but the style of music where this scale comes from is based on a mode and the tonal center is C.

Yeah I hear it as a F harmonic minor kinda thing too. 

Like on the jazz tune "Caravan"

I'm new to the sight so sorry to bump up older posts.  NE way, I sat down tonight and was playing with this scale.  (I love new stuff thanks ;D)  Is this a scale to use for spanish/jewish music in the key of c.  Do I base my chords off this scale if I were playing jewish of spanish music? or is it just a spanish/jewish sounding run?  I'm kind of lost.   ?/? ?/? ?/?

No, play this scale over C7 chords. (C, E, G, Bb)
