« on: April 30, 2007, 05:20:44 PM »
what are good ways to put in some scales in middle of melodies to spice it up a little

is this all trial and error .. or is tehre a way to practice putting scales in a melody

(of course just here in there and not after every bar)

Modes and arpeggios.

Actually, TBlock and I have made quite a few posts on it, you can see his at the top of this forum. I'm not really fluent in it, yet, but it's coming along.

See these posts:

A quick and dirty explanation is: if you're playing in the key of C, and your bass note is G, you can do the C scale, starting from G all the way to the next G. This is called a G Mixolydian scale. If you're playing a CMaj7 chord, you can break it up into its parts and play each note up or down the keys. It has the same effect.
