And thanks for that pointing to this very good page.

I am quite surprised that he numbers modes/scale in alphabetical order Dorian=2, rather than the more intuitive circle of 5th order Dorian=3 which makes modes and scales much easier to understand.

Thanks Chris. Very cool indeed. You caused me to investigate scales other than the ones I normally use. This might cause you to buy a cheap Android tablet and SmartChord unlimited ;0) The fretboard map at the bottom is for the instrument and tuning I have selected. You probably don't much care about that for electronic music, but the general music stuff you might find to be useful.

I've been playing classical guitar since the mid 70s. I can use those scales. Yeah I can get a latest-model-but-one dirt cheap Android here.

We're hijacking Steve's thread to talk about music theory. Write me at cheopys@gmail.com and let's continue it there.
