VOODOO DORIAN- DORIAN ADD b5

VOODOO DORIAN- DORIAN ADD b5.
 (1,2,b3,4,b5,5,6,b7.)

DORIAN ADD b5, is the 2nd mode of the Bebop Major.

I've been loving goofing around with the Voodoo Blues Scale since I discovered it a while ago. I love the 6 mixing Dorian Mode overtones with blues colours, so I thought it was time to just throw a b5 into the Dorian Mode and see how that sounds.

I was all set to map it all out from scratch when I realised that strictly speaking it was already on here because it is one of the modes of  Bebop Major.

The Dorian Mode contains the intervals: 1,2 b3,4, 5, 6,b7 and adding a b5 to this to give a bluesy feeling results in: 1,2,b3,4,b5,5,6,b7.

So what's all this VOODOO DORIAN nonsense then?

It just so cool that it needs a more rock n roll name than DORIAN ADD b5...

So here's VOODOO DORIAN!

Also known as the ALTERED SCALE or ALTERED DOMINANT SCALE, but I think I'll stick with SUPER LOCRIAN,

LOCRIAN NATURAL 2ND

Post 100 on the Rob Silver blog...

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

Next up today as I whizz through posting all the modes Melodic Minor is the LYDIAN DOMINANT scale.
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!
