Okay, I'll play.

 

Arabic Scale: C-C#-E-F-G-G#-B-C

 

Acc'ding to Wiki it was used by Dick Dale in his version of Misirlou.

 

You should really investigate microtonal scales, but you'll need to dump the guitar and get a programmable keyboard...that thing is like a dulcimer or having only a G-harmonica....

 

Why, pray tell, is this thread in *Earth Science*???

 

I feel the Earth move under my feet, :confused:

I don't know...I just play whatever pops into my head. :confused:

 

Basically, medieval music is all about modes. The Lydian and Mixolydian scales are perhaps the most used (play a C scale from F and G respectively to get those scales).
