Hello Jamesy's girlfriend... he asked me to help you out on this one, but I'm not 100% sure exactly what the question is... hope this helps: Ok, in the key of C(major) you have: C Ionian - the major scale D Dorian - minor scale but with a raised 6th E Phrygian - minor scale but with diminished 2nd F Lydian - major scale but with a raised 4th G Mixolydian - major scale but with raised 7th A Aeolian - the minor scale B Locrian - minor scale but with dimished 2nd and diminished 5th Try the harmonic minor scale - the standard minor but with a raised 7th. Sounds ace. Then try starting on the 5th degree cos it sounds even better, very spanish sounding. Its called the Phrgyian dominant scale, cos it is exactly the same as the phrygian mode but with a major 4th as opposed to a minor 4th). Hope thats what you were wanting.
