Polychord Scales

"There are 479,001,600 possible combinations of the 12 tones of the chromatic sc ale.

"From any given root, there are theoretically hundreds of possible scales depend ing on what parameters are established. The tonal system that we know established customs th at we are heir as a result of hundreds of years of practice. Scales from other parts of the wor ld have different underlying premises. For the sake of this recording, I have established several guidelines in the formation of scales. list some scale information on Allan Holdsworth's uncommon scales (check out his "Just for Curious" Book ISBN-10: 0769220150 & REH video ASIN: B00 0WPE8A6) 7-Note 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [7-35b] (Major) 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 [7-34b] (Melodic Minor) 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 [7-32b] (Harmonic Mnor) 1 2 b3 b5 5 6 7 [7-32Me] (starting from the 4th degree of Harmonic Major) 1 b3 3 4 5 6 b7 [7-29g] 8-Note 1 2 3 4 5 b6 6 7 [8-26e] 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 7 [8-23d] 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 7 [8-22d] 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 6 7 [8-27e] 1 b2 b3 3 b5 5 b6 b7 [8-27Me] 9-Note 1 2 b3 3 4 5 6 b7 7 [9-9d] 1 2 b3 3 4 5 b6 6 7 [9-11i] Symmetrical 1 b2 b3 3 b5 5 6 b7 [8-28S] 1 b2 2 3 4 b5 b6 6 b7 [9-12S] 1 2 3 #4 #5 b7 [6-35S] The followings are my polychord scales ideas derived from some reference materia ls on the page 2 of this thesaurus book: Triad Over The Bass - Scale Degrees (Thesaurus Code) [Triad Positions] bII triad over I 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7 (7-22b) [bII=b2,4,b6] 1 b2 2 4 b6 7 (6-13b) 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 7 (7-30b) II triad over I 1 b2 2 4 b5 b6 6 (7-22a) [II=2,#4,6] 1 2 4 b5 b6 6 7 (7-31f) bIII triad over I 1 b2 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 (8-22Ma) [bIII=b3,5,b7] 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 (7-35g)
