The Spanish Gypsy Scale

by Mike Twieg (245)

Pages: 1 2 3 Suggested Tempo: 120

This scale is used a lot by my favorite guitarist, John Petrucci. It is good for adding some exotic flavor to your songs. The intervals of the spanish gypsy scale relative to the major scale is 1, 2b, 3, 4, 5, 6b, 7b. Below is the scale played in C from root to root twice with two different fingerings. Theres no real way to avoid having to stretching to a 5 fret span, so just choose whatever feels comfortable.
