There are probably some other scales that fit the bill also.

May 10, 2005 06:36 pm try playing around with this:
1 and flat 2, the first two notes of the phrygian mode.
jump up to the regular ol' third.
then add 4, 5, and flat 6
then skip from the flat 6 up to the seventh. this is a key aspect of that arabian sound. it comes out of the harmonic minor scale, to have a full minor third jump at the end like that there.
then the octave.
in the key of c this would be:
c, c#, e, f, g, g#, b, c

The Phrygian scale is more of a spanish type scale.
May 11, 2005 03:01 am the mode itself may be. that flat second is the signature phrygian sound, but i think it also appears in arabian scales. i mean, it must!
that scale above is my own hybrid invention! try it out! i think that 3 half-step jump at the end is brilliant and crucial to the 'arabian' sound!
May 11, 2005 03:03 am w00t! i created the byzantine scale completely by accident! it is identical to the gypsy scale a few scales down! they're there on the second link there! w00t!
May 11, 2005 05:12 pm hahah awsome forty!, these scales sound so "sitarish" on my bass....gonna mess with them tonight.
