YYZ - Scales

Sign in to disble this ad
I was wondering if anyone knew of any scales to learn that would help with the learning of YYZ. And maybe throw in a tab for the scale maybe?

Alex and Geddy both slip into the Phrygian mode during the solo, if I recall, but the bulk of the tune is Mixolydian and Pentatonic.

Seemed to me that some of the riffs (intro riff after the tritone?) are in an altered harmonic minor scale... Hungarian major, perhaps?

1, minor 2nd, major 3rd, major 4th, major 5th, minor 6th, major 7th



Sometimes this scale works too (not sure what to call it):

1, minor 2nd, minor 3rd, augmented 4th, major 5th, minor 6th, major 7th
