THE GYPSY HUNGARIAN SCALE
In this lesson, you will learn a theme based on the gypsy minor scale, a scale that is prominently used in Romani (gypsy) music. Exotic guitar scales like this one are a good way to bring new sounds into your playing.
The gypsy minor scale (aka Hungarian minor scale or double harmonic minor scale) is an exotic guitar scale that is similar to the harmonic minor scale, but with a raised 4.
In music, the double harmonic major scale is a scale whose gaps may sound unfamiliar to Western listeners. This is also known as Mayamalavagowla, Bhairav Raga(Indian Raag), Byzantine scale, Arabic, and Gypsy major. It can be likened to a gypsy scale because of the diminished step between the 1st and 2nd degrees
The Gipsy Hungarian Scale scale is composed of the Root, Major Second, Minor Third, Augmented Fourth, Perfect Fifth, Minor Sixth, and Major Seventh
