Make Scales More Fun!

Mike Olekshy – GuitarTricks.com

Tired of the same stock scale patterns you’ve been practicing? These simple tweaks can transform the sound of well known guitar scales,
coaxing sounds that beg for more experimentation and creative expression!

ADD A NOTE TO THE MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE

Let’s start with one of the first scales a guitar player will learn - the minor pentatonic scale. This is a five note scale that is very commonly
used for lead playing. The notes of the scale are the root, minor third (or flat third), fourth, fifth, and the minor seventh (or flat seventh).

Let’s add the note between the fourth and fifth - commonly referred to as the “flat five” - to the scale.

SHIFT A NOTE IN THE NATURAL MINOR SCALE

Now let’s take the natural minor scale - root, 2nd, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7 - and mess with it a little. If we sharpen the flat 7 (or minor 7th), it
becomes a “major” seventh. Play through the scale with this adjustment, and note the distinct sound that emits when you play through the

This scale is a great choice to play when you are playing in any minor key, but the V chord in the progression happens to be a major
chord. For example, in the key of Am, your I chord is A minor, and your V chord would be E minor. But sometimes, you’ll encounter chord ► 2013 (301)
progressions where that V chord is actually major - in this case E major or E7. So improvise with A minor for all the chords in the ► 2012 (380)
progression, but switch to A harmonic minor just over the E chord. The notes will highlight that chord perfectly!

SHIFT A NOTE IN THE PHRYGIAN SCALE ► 2010 (607)
► 2009 (334)
One more cool tweak is to start with the Phrygian scale. The Phrygian scale is the 3rd mode of the major scale, and it’s formula is root, b2,
b3, 4, 5, b6, b7. ► 2008 (296)

► 2002 (113)

You could think of this particular scale as a natural minor scale with a flat 2. But let’s take it one step further, and raise the flat third one
semitone (or fret) to a major third. Now play through the scale and check out the resulting unique sound!

Craigslist is home to a number of interesting guitars. Here are some that I came across that are entirely unique and unlike anything I’ve
ever seen in person. Some of these guitars are custom-built, others aren’t guitars at all but instead, use leftover guitar bodies and parts.

Burns Weill RP2G Super Streamline bass guitar from 1959

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Here's an intriguing and supposedly quite rare bass guitar from Jim Burns and Henry Weill, the Burns Weill RP2G Super Streamline
Bass. I suppose that back in 1959 it looked futuristic and space-age. Today it looks ... I don't know what. It's an ugly bass for sure but
probably not as hideous looking as those ghastly singlecut jobbies with the bass-side bout extending half way up the neck which seem to
be unfathomably popular these days in bass playing circles. It's quite recognisably a design from the Burns stable, displaying future
echoes of the Burns Flyte on the treble side of the body.

Here is what the eBay seller has to say about it:

Burns Weill RP2G bass

This is a very rare bass made in 1959 by Jim Burns and Henry Weill. The body, neck etc., were designed and made by Jim
Burns and all the electrics and pickups within the scratchplate were designed and made by Henry Weill.

This particular bass came from the collection of Mark Griffiths - bass player for The Shadows. It was sold in auction some
time ago along with many other guitars and basses owned by Mark Griffiths. I did not manage to buy it then but a while ago I
contacted the buyer and managed to purchase it.

It is totally original apart from the fact that it had been refinished in the past - possibly when Mark owned it.

It is a very rare bass regardless of previous owners and its actually the only one I have come across. It has two pickups with
volume, tone and blend controls plus a pickup selector switch and two-way switch - all working well, and it is a very nice
playing bass with a lovely neck, quite narrow but very playable with twenty-two frets with red dot markers and a scale of
thirty inches.

Currently listed on eBay UK with a Buy It Now price of £950.

The Piglet guitar build project, part 15

guitarz.blogspot.com:

The Piglet in action on-stage with Red & The Hogweeds at a festival in a field somewhere in Wales.
That's me on the Flying V bass, by the way.

Sorry guys, I've not posted for ages and in the last Piglet post I had said I'd hope to show some video of the Piglet in action. It's actually
done quite a few gigs already; alas I don't have any quality video footage worth showing you, so you'll have to make do with a few
photographs instead.

For the record, the guitar performs well and is a great stage instrument. Audiences seem to like it as well. It gets pointed at quite a lot,
photos taken, etc, and is the cause of a few double-takes! Which is all good promotion for the band.

The Piglet, on its stand

Finally, I just thought I'd post my original PhotoShop mock-up of the Piglet guitar. Obviously, there are a number of differences with the
final product, e.g. number of pickups, headstock shape, angle of the neck, but hey, I think we got pretty damn close to the original vision.

Rare Fender Acoustic Jazzmaster JZM Deluxe

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Love it or hate it, Fender makes acoustic versions of their electric icons. I'm not a big fan, but I understand the appeal. That said, I have
some love for this abomination. It's got a "so ugly it's cool" thing going on.

I'll have to do some research and find out just exactly how rare this JZM Deluxe really is.
