THE IN-SEN SCALE

Yet another Japanese Pentatonic scale...

THE IN-SEN SCALE, or INSEN SCALE or IN SEN SCALE depending on where you click out there on yonder internet is a five note Japanese scale that contains the following intervals: 1,b2,4,5,b7.

So essentially The Phrygian Mode without a 3rd or 6th.

THE IN-SEN SCALE is very similar to The Iwato scale, the only difference being THE IN-SEN SCALE has a perfect rather than diminished 5th.

Essentially The Locrian Mode with no 3rd or 6th.

It also has 4 other modes that I will consider later.

THE HIROJOSHI SCALE

THE HIROJOSHI SCALE is a five note/tone scale of Japanese origin.

It contains the intervals:1,2,b3,5,b6.

The same as the Aeolian Mode but without a 4th or a 7th.

As with The Kumoi Scale I found it amazing that taking two notes out of a Greek mode can give such a strong Japanese flavour to a scale

The free guitar scale diagrams below lay out the scale for you all over the neck, as a three octave scale and as the various three note per string patterns that will link together to let you play it all over the fretboard in any key.

THE KUMOI SCALE

THE KUMOI SCALE is a scale of Japanese origin.

It is a five note/tone scale and contains the intervals: 1,2,b3,5,6.

Just noodle up and down it a few times and the Japanese sound will be apparent.
I though it seems really odd that if you take the 4th and the 7th out of The Dorian mode it suddenly sounds really Japanese!

It also has 4 other modes that I will consider later.
