Hindu Scale (Mixolydian b6)

[Quist]

I always associate this scale with the 'Deliver us' river lullaby from the Prince of Egypt soundtrack

nice one - Single Ladies by Beyonce is another one

[Quist]

sounds good, what chords are in that backing track?

hey - we got E and Am chords here with all other scale notes being applied liberally on top by the strings, to create the Hindu scale vibe as "strongly" as possible at all times.

ROUGHLY speaking it's based on 2 bars of E and two bars of Am - but with chord extensions deriving from the scale as mentioned...


I hope that helps

Sticking with the pentatonic theme, and especially due to the simple chord progression, try these scales over the respective chords:

Emajor - E Hindu Pentatonic - 1 3 4 5 b7 (E pentatonic with a 3rd)

Aminior - A minor 9th Pentonic - 2(9) b3 4 5 b7 ( A pentatonic losing the root and adding a 9th)

These are simple tranistions to make. Play these and you will effortlessly add harmony and melody to your playing. A minor 9th pentatonic is one of the sweetest scales ever!!

Nice one Is there a downloadable copy of the bt audio for this? I had a look on your site but couldn't find one, very cool site btw. An excellent resource for people to practically apply the theory knowledge and see/ hear how it works.

I know, but was wondering if there was a better quality copy available. The YouTube downloaders aren't much cop for quality recordings, usually lo-res in image and sound.

Work it out ya lazy bugger

Thanks very much! There will be downloadable audio for this track shortly (in a few weeks) - also, a completely new version of http://www.jamtracksmania.com will be launched in the next few weeks! The old site will still be accessible as well.. but the new one should be super handy for everyone - with free scale maps etc etc
