FAQ

What are hexatonic scales?

• By definition, a hexatonic scale is 6 notes in an octave. There are different ways to interpret a hexatonic scale (whole tone, blues scale etc), but you can choose the notes to make up the six notes. I've found my own 6-note hexatonic scale system for improvisation by using 3 notes per string, which helps me visualize more of the notes on the fretboard. If you’ve heard any of my solos, then you’ve heard my hexatonic scale system.
