What is your favorite scale? (411 views)

My favorite scale is Mixolydian ♭6 the notes in the C Mixolydian ♭6 scale are:
C D E F G G♯ B♭
An example of this scale is Alanis Morrisette's Uninvited.
Here's a good video about more examples in this scale

I like the C major scale.

Everyone's least favorite scale is Locrian. One of the few pop artists that have managed to incorporate it in a song, is Björk.

Pentatonic

I'm partial to the scales of a pangolin, myself.

This critter. Native Americans probably used their shells for shelter, before they went extinct about 15,000 years ago. It's got hexagonal scales.

Now that's what I call large-scale.

It's quite possible to understand why people thought that it was a good idea to get rid of that thing from their "backyards". I wish they would have kept the giant sloth, though. A funeral march for the poor critter in the Aeolian scale, also called minor, would be appropriate.

Maybe a pastoral chant based on the Dorian mode instead. Including a IV with a dominant 7 and vi° seems more like you're contemplating on the extinction of species throughout history.

Sounds grand. "In ancient memory of Megatherium"

We were just winding down, but thanks for mentioning it so we can continue on with this for a little while longer. An étude in Lydian ♭7 to reflect the playfulness of this scenario.

It's also called Lydian Dominant which is like a mix of Lydian and Mixolydian
Edit: The Simpsons Theme uses it and The Beatles Blue Jay Way partly uses it.
