Yes very interesting scale Gene;

It contains my favourite "weird" intervals: 2L-s (#II) and 2s-L (bbII)

see for details:

I missed that one; mahalo, thanks.

Unfortunately I am unable to play it on my 19 fret LucyTuned 12 string guitar,
without tweaking the open string tunings;
as I chose the "sharp intervals" hence the nearest to Fb's are all E#'s.

Nevertheless I can generate it on my 25 fret guitars, and of course in Logic Pro 7.

In Logic Pro 7, using 7b0s Tuning number 16, and tweaking the F position to play Fb from:

and

it sounds like this:

Scales, intervals, and scalecoding:

C Db E Fb G Ab Bb C
(s) (2L-s) (2s-L) (2L-s) (s) (L) (L)

Fb Cb Gb Db Ab Eb Bb F C G
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

ScaleCoding is: 9/2368/9

Thanks Gene;

When I get time I'll use it in a composition;-)
