And Japanese scales (like Japanese a. and it's modes), have what I perceive as 'stacked' intervals.
There's usually the same frets recurring on successive strings.
For example, the Iwato, third mode of Japanese a. or the 'K' scale. I'll do it on 7 strings to prove my point.
Code:
[------------------------0-1-5~]
[--------------------0-1-------]
[------------------2-----------]
[--------------2-3-------------]
[--------0-2-3-----------------]
[----0-1-----------------------]
[0-1---------------------------]
You see?
BUT!....
NONE compete with the Nonatonic for shape complexity!
You need a set of four dexterous fingers and a very visual grip of the fretboard.
Code:
[-------------------]
[-------------------]
[-------------------]
[-----------------1-]
[---------1-2-3-4---]
[0-2-3-4------------]
I once sat trying to work out all eight of its modes but I screwed up the fifth and scrapped the lot. |
