Permalink Insect Surfers what mode/scale or whatever ?

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Been listening to The Insect Surfers "Death Valley Coastline" and realised that few if any of teh songs are in major or minor scales.

Anyone know what mode or scale they frequently use ?

Where's Dave Arnson when you need him? You can start by flattening the 2 of the major scale.

hayy,sorry eye missed this post,i'm vacationing in maine and haven't checked my eel-mail fer several days. i did take music theory years ago, but never really planned our songs as strictly minor or major. a lot of my own lead playing has a lot of influence from link wray,television's tom verlaine and richard lloyd,and san francisco's john cippolina and jorma kaukonen.. a little ron asheton... i think that all of these players jump through various modalities...i think most of our stuff is minor-y though...thank you for being interested!! sorry to be so dufus-y about scales, i'd be happy to help with any transcriptions if you wanted!

hey what key are all yer songs in Dave?

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I was wondering if you had a perferred scale eg like the Miserlou.
A lot of songs sound like eastern type scales
