This simple flavor turns it into a blues scale. 4:45 - A Dorian Scale A Dorian is a more concise way of playing a minor pentatonic scale. You simply add in two more notes to give it more flair. This scale is found in a lot of jazz music. 7:43 - A Romanian/Ukrainian Minor Scale Take the Dorian scale, alter it a little, and turn it into a Dorian sharp 4 scale, a.k.a Romanian/Ukrainian scale. All you do is add a sharp 4 -- probably how it got its name! 9:50 - A Natural Harmonic Minor Scale This minor scale is made special by having a major 7 note within it. You'll hear this scale in a lot of jazz and classical music. 11:48 - A Hungarian Minor Scale If you take the harmonic minor scale and sharpen the 4th, you will get the Hungarian scale. It’s made its way into the mainstream as it is used in Billie Eilish’s "Bad Guy." 14:35 A Hirajõshi Scale This scale consists of the 2nd flat third over a minor type chord as well as the 5th flat 6 root. This scale derives from classical Japanese music. 15:49 - A Raga Asavari Scale The last scale is very similar to the previous one but has a flat 2nd and a 4th and 5th flat 6 root note that differentiates it. It voids the third altogether, meaning you can use it over a minor or major chord.
