There's a lot of major scales out there. Ok, there's one main one, but over the years we've done plenty of experimenting on it and come up with all sorts of variations, and probably the fanciest of those is a scale that blends Arabic tradition with repurposed Western ideas that used to be frowned upon but aren't anymore because... well, it's a bit of a long story. Just watch the video I guess. It's a really cool scale.

I come for the musical education, but stay for the Gummie Bears and comedy, which in this episode was brought to you by Skillshare.com. =D

This is my absolute favourite scale to write in, especially for metal riffs. First stumbled on it when learning to play My Own Summer (Shove It) when I was like 12 <3
