What are some other scales i should learn? Question: i know the major and pentatonic minor scales. but i reallylike the pentatonic minor scales for soloing. what are some other scales that you think might interest me? i like to play a lot of stuff like rancid, guns 'n roses, led zeppelin thanks okay kool kid, first of all, i'm not indian, second of all, i'm not muslim got any links? that would help, thanks! Answer: Memorize the patterns of intervals first, not the scales. For example...you may already know that major is 1,1,1/2,1,1,1,1/2. If you memorize the pattern, you can make any note your keynote and skip (somewhat) the scale memorization. On the website below, it lists T as a whole step and S as a half step. |

Are there such things as minor scales or other such scales? Question: Alright, so I got how to get a major scale out of any note, you just take that note and... go a whole step up go a whole step up go a half step up go a whole step up go a whole step up go a whole step up go a half step up But how is the pattern different with a minor scale or other scales. Answer: First off, a whole step is called a tone and a half step is a semi-tone (sorry, that's just how I learned it). There are 3 types of minor scales: natural, harmonic and melodic. Natural minor scale: tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, tone. This scale is rarely used Harmonic minor (one way to think of this is to raise the second las note from the natural minor by a semi-tone so it will only be a half step from the last note.) tone,semi-tone, tone, tone, semitone, step-and-a-half, semi-tone Melodic minor tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, semi-tone As for other scale types, there are hundreds, but we really only use major and minor. The rest are either used in super-modern classical music or were banned when the catholic church abolished pagan rituals over a thousand years ago. The only one that you hear much is the blues scale. The website I provided has tons of good information. The circle of fifths is useful. |

why whenever i get on a scale at the doctors it always say i weight at least 5 pounds more than other scales? Question: at my doctor office he has the balance scales that u have to move over the weight things. at the gym i get on the scale every other day and it says i weight 159. It says the same on my home scale. At the docs office last week and today it say 164. Answer: Well the balance is the most accurate obviously. But do you take your shoes off at the doc's? They never have time for me to take my shoes off so I weigh more there. I know shoes don't weigh 5 pounds, but still. |

What other scales on guitar other than the pentatonic scale sound good to be integrated into rock based solos? Question: I learned the pentatonic scale a while back, but I'm looking for some different scales that I could add into a solo to spice it up, or to change the genre up a bit from the bluesy pentatonic scale. And I also would like to know how I would transition from one key or scale to another without it sounding off beat in mid solo. Answer: Rock is usually played in the major scales. Learn your major scales and you won't be dissappointed. As for the transitions, that comes with practice and experience. You can know where to put your fingers but putting them there consistently takes practice. Good Luck. |

How do you harmonize other scales? Question: I know how to harmonize a major scale. But I want to experiment with synthetic scales and the harmonic minor and I just don't know how to harmonize those scales. Do you just take every ither note in any scale you're harmonizing? Answer: well it really depends on what you mean by harmonizing, one way of doing do is if your in A natural minor (or A aeolion mode) and harmonizing it with maybe the harmonic minor of A which has a sharpend 7th(G#), now you can harmonize by playing your first scale then once your at the 3rd(C) you begin to play the harmonic minor, you can also do the in 5ths, and 7ths hope this helped |

Are cycloid scales actually cycloids? How does this differ from other scales of different shapes? Question: Oh and if you have other resources on cycloids, please add it in too, thanks! Answer: Cycloid scales are not "circular", in fact there's a lot of variety in scale shape, even in different parts of the same fish. They are called "cycloid" because of their basic morphology; if you look through one of these scales (by holding it against the light), you'll see a central point (the "focus") and concentrical circles around it (the "circuli") as rings. These concentrical circles are the growth marks of the scale: it starts to develop at the focus, and then increasingly larger "rings" of bony tissue are added. Because the scales don't grow continuously but at fixed periods, there are techniques that allow to calculate the age of a fish using the number of "circuli". When scales with this structure have lots of small "hooks" on part of their surface, they're called "ctenoid". Their morphology is similar: the shape can be variable, they have a focus and circuli, PLUS the hooks (ctenii). Both cycloid and ctenoid scales are morphological varieties of the "elasmoid" scales, typical of the Teleostean bony fishes (more primitive bony fishes have "ganoid" scales, which are thicker and have a different composition; ganoid scales are usually rhombic). Here's a scientific publication about the use of these scales for species identification: http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/sep102004/692.pdf Here's a site with information about both scale types, and clear illustrations: http://library.thinkquest.org/C0124402/data/html/ 2/2anatomy_external.htm PS. It is not polite to not cite one's sources. The information in the answer above is taken from: http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/what/scales/cyccten.htm |

What's the main difference between full scale airsoft and other scales? Question: I'm trying to purchase more airsoft guns CHEAP. I found a few website but the gun scales were lowered up to 3/4 and more. Whats the difference? Is it better to have a full scaled one? And also can some one provide me a website where I could purchase a cheap metal body airsoft gun? I'm looking for one that is not over 50 or 60 dollars. Answer: 3/4 scale mean that they are smaller "Boys" sizes of guns. An example of an M4 at 1/1 scale would measure about 34", and the same gun at 3/4 scale would measure about 28". Also, you're not going to find a big selection of Metal Airsoft guns for $50 to $60. Airsplat has a couple that are pretty good: KJW Mark 1 Ruger Gas Airsoft NonBlowback http://www.airsplat.com/Items/GP-KJW-RUGER.htm KJW Mark 1 Ruger CO2 Airsoft NonBlowback http://www.airsplat.com/Items/GP-KJW-RUGERCO2.htm DE M58 Metal Airsoft Shotgun Shot Gun http://www.airsplat.com/Items/AR-DE-M58-B.htm Get it at Airsplat!

What are 3 ways to measure ingredients other than scales? Question: I'm doing homework and i have no idea of other ways to measure ingredients except from with a Scale! Answer: Measuring cups, spoons and jugs, and some common sense. If yo open a can that says 440gm that is near enough for many things except baking. Other things you can compare to something else, a cup is about a handful. |

What is the Beaumé scale good for? Are there other scales for measuring solutions of liquids concentrations? Question: Beaumé scale is for concentration measuring in a solution of liquid/liquid and/or liquid/solid.What I need to known is how is this scale stablished. Answer: The Baumé scale DOES NOT measure concentration, it measures specific gravity. It is in fact two scales, one for aqueous solutions of specific gravity less than 1 and another for aqueous solutions of specific gravity greater than 1. The units of degrees Baumé (°Bé) are measured with a hydrometer (that glass thing that looks like a turkey baster with a rubber bulb on one end and a float inside). The two scales are based on specific gravities of sodium chloride solutions. For liquids heaver than water: specific gravity = 145/(145 - °Bé) For liquids lighter than water: specific gravity = 140/(130 + °Bé) Concentrations are obtained only if one already knows the exact concentration/specific gravity relationship for the solution in question. The Baumé scale is considered archaic, and is hardly used anymore. To my knowledge, it is only used in the wine making industry. |

What things do Muse put into their guitar parts like, chords, scales and other things? Question: What things do Muse put into their guitar parts like, chords, scales and other things? Answer: The kind of guitar attributes Muse like to include are: - Octave-based riffs: Stockholm Syndrome; Hysteria; The Groove; Dead Star; Hyper Music; Sober; Easily... - Harmonics: Matt likes to throw in harmonics sometimes.. Stockholm Syndrome; Citizen Erased riffs.. - Fuzz: Matt Bellamy has a Fuzz Factory built into his guitars, used in songs like Plug In Baby; Supermassive Black Hole; In Your World...etc. - Pitch shifting: Using his Whammy Pedal, Matt sometimes shifts his pitch up, most notably on the New Born solo. Other songs include the solo for Dead Star, the main riff of Fury, solo of Sunburn.. - Synth effects: Chris likes thick synthy bass riffs like in Time Is Running Out and Hysteria. - Different tunings: Dropped D for songs like Stockholm Syndrome, New Born, Dead Star. Matt uses AADGBE in the original Citizen Erased recording, I think he uses EAEGBE for In Your World. - Pentatonic scale: Matt sometimes uses the pentatonic scale, when he ad-libs or songs like Eternally Missed. - Pick scraping: Start of Hysteria and Hyper Music.. - Unorthodox chords: Instead of going with straight power chords, Matt tends to throw in other notes too, check out the choruses of New Born and Micro Cuts: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/muse/new_born_ver8_t ab.htm http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/muse/micro_cuts_tab .htm - Guitar and bass riffs tend to complement each other - Apart from that it's quite a vast mix of things - they mainly use the minor scale but not always, sometimes go acoustic.. |
