The Scale of Duality - The Mixolydian b6 scale

In this e-book we’ll dive in the world of duality: the mixlolydian b6 scale. It’s all about happy versus sad, light versus darkness and good versus evil.  When we study scales, we come across scales that are straightforward and have most of the time a single emotion. The major scale is happy, and the minor scale is sad.
But there are also scales that evoke more than one emotion and are considered as special and suited for unique applications.

One of those scales is the beautiful mixolydian b6 scale, which can easily be seen as the darkest major scale. It’s a secret weapon of film composers and game music producers, that are looking for a mood that dwells between major and minor territory at the same time. It’s a great and versatile scale for creating dualism and dramatic effects in Metal, Progressive Rock, Indian Ragas and even in pop and Jazz the scale isn’t unknown. 

In this lesson you’ll be learning how to use this scale for harmony as well as for improvising to the end of expanding your musical vocabulary…
