Sorry, Peter, dunno what's the matter with me - didn't hear it, and was blowing way too sharp. You're right of course.Peter Duggan wrote:B pentatonic (B, C#, D#, F#, G#).
I wouldn't say B major was wrong. I would say that that form of pentatonic is a subset of B major. Personal opinion. I think there may be other opinions. Much like there are lumpers and splitters in taxonomy.DjUntzUntz wrote:thanks a lot for the answer may I know how you guys figure this out? is there any way to train this?

would be great to know how to discover/hear what pitches/scales tunes are!
thanks for your explanation. Now i'm still interested in how you guys are always able to figure this out so fast/good !benhall.1 wrote:I wouldn't say B major was wrong.

Well, I wasn't, was I? I was friggin' useless. I've not been well.DjUntzUntz wrote:Now I'm still interested in how you guys are always able to figure this out so fast/good !
Aye, we could argue about the single, clearly planned but out-of-scale low A taken by both Julie Fowlis and Mike McGoldrick at 1:16... but (that apart) it's still a pentatonic tune and agreed that form of pentatonic is a subset of B major!benhall.1 wrote:I wouldn't say B major was wrong.

Years of training and usage... after which 'so fast/good' becomes irrelevant for the bread-and-butter stuff (aka your comfort zone) because you don't need time to get it.DjUntzUntz wrote:Now i'm still interested in how you guys are always able to figure this out so fast/good !
When I want to figure out a scale, I need to play along with the recording. Sometimes if something is really tricky (or really fast) I will use software to loop a note, which makes it trivial to match.DjUntzUntz wrote:
