Diatonic scale & modes on E9th

Wayne Baker · From: Altus Oklahoma

Does anyone have the diatonic scales on E9th? Also, I'd like to know if the diatonic scale is used much on the steel. Oh yes, what about modes?

Thanks,
Wayne Baker

I really think the Joe Wright stuff is the best for learning how scales work on the neck.

Here are some exercises I worked out for scales on the high strings:

B ___10X_____________11X_____________13X____________________________


     b   c   d   e   c   d   e   f   d   e   f   g

'b' means flat the string, '#' means raise it a half step, and 'X' means raise it a full step.

Hope that helps.

Wayne,
Diatonic scales are almost ALL of what you hear on E9. Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do is a diatonic scale or mode, called the 'major scale' or 'Ionian mode'. Most country music uses that scale. Others commonly found would be the Dorian, which is a minor 7 mode. If you play a C scale (CDEFGABC) starting on D you'll get the Dorian mode, which works over a Dm or Dm7 chord. Another is the Mixolydian mode, same as the major scale with a b7. If you play a C scale starting on G, you will have the Mixo mode, which is played over a G7 chord. The bigger picture is that you can play a CMajor scale over CMaj Dmi Emi FMaj G7 Ami Bdim chords. Hope this helps. It's all there in those no pedals and pedals down (C at 8 and C at 3) positions.
