What can I say, it is a part of my musical exploration. Here is my latest discovery : I was using the scale C D F Ab in many of my improvisations. I asked the list if it could be 1 9/8 4/3 63/40. No one responded, because the answer was no. I found it this morning, it is 1 10/9 4/3 14/9. This can be completed as 1 10/9 4/3 3/2 14/9. Divide everything by 4/3 and you get 1 9/8 7/6 3/2 5/3 2/1. C D Eb F G A C is used in some jazz music. Is there a name for this scale? Synthetic minor pentatonic?? -Kami ** I am a peach tree, ** Blossoming in a deep pit.
