Anyone have ideas on some haunting and "spooky" scales/modes or even just riffs? |

it goes in 1 1/2 step intervals I - iii - v - VII (G - A# - C# -E) |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Newark, NJ | | | Yeah I didn't know what to call it, since if I kept stacking minor 3rds it would just repeat itself an octave higher, and since he called it a scale. I haven't gotten too deep into augmented and diminished chords theory wise, I know they exist and how to form them, didn't know the fingerings either (as you can clearly see). While we are on the topic, what scale would I pair with this arpeggio?
...It does sound eerie though. |

"Watch Me Bleed", Tears For Fears, from The Hurting
"Under The Milky Way", The Church, from Starfish
"The Killing Moon", Echo and The Bunnymen, from Songs to Learn and Sing
"Fade Into You", Mazzy Star, from So Tonight That I might See
Too many Cure songs to mention. |
