Alright, look. Scales are awesome, right? Playing around with wild scales is one of my favorite pastimes, but how do you go about finding new ones? Well, that's where a good structure for modality comes in. Modality is the basic framework of scales, and knowing how the various pieces interact can help you find new, wonderful scales you might never have even considered. In the making of this video, I actually found one I'd never seen before! Anyway, there's a couple different ways to look at scale construction, and I wanted to take a look at some of my own personal models on the subject.

cool idea, to build custom scales to fit the tensions you want. Do you know the augmented (not whole tone) scale? root, minor third, third, fifth, augmented fifth, seventh.

oops, there's more. This scale has three major triads spaced a minor third apart, and is a condensed version of Coltrane changes. Sheryl Bailey has played some licks on her Truefire lessons that just immediately make me think I'm playing Giant Steps with just these three notes.
