Atomic Scales 027:
By Bruce Arnold
Atomic Scales is a fancy name for using three note scales as
a vehicle for improvisation and composition. Smaller groups of
notes are very useful because they provide more possible applications
when applying them to different musical situations. This book
applies this idea to both a three note group(s) which I call a
trichord(s) and a six note group which I call a hexatonic scale i.e. a
six note group of notes. A hexatonic scale can of course be
divided up into to groups of three notes (in other words two trichords).
This book concentrates on using a three note scale (pitch class
set). The pitch class set used in this book is 027. An
example of an 027 would be D, E, A. Another example would be E,
F#, C#. This book looks at using both of these 027s. An
indepth explanation of 027 is presented along with exercises to apply
these groupings to many chord types. A fingering pattern chart is
included to help guitarists apply this information to the guitar
fretboard along with melodic patterns that any instrumentalist can use
to apply 027s to their instrument.
