Run this scale up and then back down. Maybe one of you real musicians can tell me what kind of scale this is.
Raise the E's to F and lower the D# to D. Hold those knee-levers in place and then run the scale using the A and B pedals.
Caution: Do not use on any Ray Price shuffles.

F#----------------------------3-----
D#----------------------3L----------
G#------------------------------3-3B
E -------------------------3F-------

To me ,without the F knee lever in , it's the C major scale. When you do add the F knee lever, you actually add a half step between the 5th and 6th step of that scale.[G changes to G#].The chord or
arpeggio you could play with just the two knee levers
in [G7b9]probably wouldn't sound all that great in a shuffle, but it is a great sounding chord in jazz.
Resolve this chord back to C using pedals A & B.
Also ,with pedals A&B down,the F knee lever gives the C augmented chord: a good way to get to the F chord. |

When I stumbled on this the other night, I thought it had more of a Middle Eastern sound. I wasn't thinking about it in a jazz context. Almost a minor scale, but I don't think so.
If you ever need to play for a belly dancer, you could improvise over this pattern.
(We actually had a belly dancer show up at a C/W dance one time, but that's for a different topic...) |

That belly dancer wouldn't have been Kenton per chance???

No, this one wasn't as attractive as Kenton is...  |

Looks very much like an A-harmonic minor scale to me played from E to a high C note.
A harmonic minor =
A - B C - D - E F - - G# A
or written with numbers
1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7
The scale harmonized as triads(chords)
Am - Bdim Caug - Dm - E F - - G#dim
In this scale the Echord is also a Dom7th chord so it would fit a song the key of Am.
