SUPER LOCRIAN
Nothing to be a afraid of.
Just SUPER LOCRIAN!
Also known as the ALTERED SCALE or ALTERED DOMINANT SCALE, but I think I'll stick with SUPER LOCRIAN,
SUPER LOCRIAN is the 7th mode of Melodic Minor, and the scale is made of the following intervals, 1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7.
LOCRIAN NATURAL 2ND
So to celebrate I drank lots of wine and ate loads of Lebanese food!
Today's lucky scale is LOCRIAN NATURAL 2ND, or as I prefer to call it "Minor b5".
LOCRIAN NATURAL 2ND is the 6th mode of Melodic Minor and is made of the intervals, 1,2,b3,4,b5,b6,b7.
That's the same as THE LOCRIAN MODE with a natural 2nd or THE AEOLIAN MODE with a flat 5.
It makes much more sense I guess music theory wise to refer to it in terms of the Locrian mode because the triad it makes is diminished, but I only use it ever over minor chords or progressions, so in my "lazy rock guitarist" applications of it, it seems more practical for me to refer to it as Minor b5 or Aeolian b5.

LYDIAN DOMINANT or LYDIAN b7
It is also known as LYDIAN b7 (Lydian Flat 7). and according to wikipedia it's also known as the Acoustic Scale or the Overtone Scale.
All very interesting but not names I'd ever encountered in my blinkered guitarist world before googling for some back story to pad this out a bit. I might do that more often and see what else I can learn...
LYDIAN DOMINANT or what ever you choose to call it is the 4th mode of Melodic Minor and it is made up of the intervals, 1,2,3,#4,5,6,b7.
Have fun!

DORIAN FLAT 2ND

And that's about it for DORIAN Flat 2nd...

DOMINANT PHRYGIAN
Dominant Phrygian, or Spanish Phrygian as it is sometimes called
(just noodle up and down the first postion and you will hear why!) is
the 5th mode of Harmonic Minor.It is made of the intervals: 1,b2,3,4,5,b6,b7.
It has a very distinctive Spanish or Arab influenced sound. Once you get even slightly familiar with this scale you'll be noodling along with the Gypsy Kings before you know it.
As usual, the free guitar scale diagrams laid out below give you the scale mapped out over the entire neck, as a 4 note per string 3 octave scale and as 7, 3note per string positions.

The HINDU SCALE
I've gone through all the Greek Modes already, and Harmonic and Melodic, so now I'm going to start on the modes of melodic and harmonic minor.First up is the HINDU SCALE, made from the intervals 1,2,3,4,5,b6,b7.
The Hindu scale is the 5th mode of Melodic Minor.
It's a beautiful mix of major and minor elements giving a cool eerie, mysterious and slightly eastern feel I guess. All I can say is goof around with it yourself.
I do have a musical example for this one, nothing recorded recently, but this is a maybe 10 year old demo for a PORNOVURT song that never got played live more than two or three times.
Any how, the solo that start about 2/3 of the way through has a little Hindu section, well 2 Hindu sections. It starts out in E, there's some bends then the Hindu bit should stand out, then it switches to A minor for a bit, then goes back to the section in E and repeats it with a few variations.
OK, dot time!

Three octave mode patterns
This was all laid out already in the sheets for the individual modes, but if you already know the seven three note per string patterns and were just looking to learn some of the longer patterns, I thought it would be handy to have all the three octave shapes in one place.
There is a lesson on modes coming soon, to put all the dots and numbers into some sort of context you all, but for now....
HERE'S SOME MORE DOTS!

THE LOCRIAN MODE
If you have a look at the index of all free stuff on my blog HERE you will find handy diagrams for all the modes, Ionian (Major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Minor) and now Locrian.
Locrian is spelled with the intervals: 1,b2,b3,4,b5,b6,b7, so it sounds dark eerie and unsettled. The b5 or "Diabolus in musica." the, Devil in Music as the dissonant tritone between the root and the flat 5th was known historically especially adds to the unease of the mode and it's over all dark sound.
But before that, here's 2 minutes or so of me playing widdly guitar solos!
