      0-3-5, 0-3-6-5

      Edit: but for real, the intervals from an open string are 0-2-3-5-7-8-11-12. You're just playing a sharp 7th, so the last interval before the octave is only a half step (one fret) instead of a whole step (two frets).

      Tablature for an ascending scale box will look something like this for A minor harmonic (E-A-D strings shown; you can move this up and down the neck as needed):

      D | --------------6-7--|
      A | -------5-7-8-------|
      E | 5-7-8--------------|

      The scale is: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 8

      So in C for example it'd be: C D Eb F G Ab B C

      So it's like a natural minor scale, but with a major 7 instead of a minor 7.

      Wikipedia's music theory stuff is actually really great https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_scale

      At first I thought it had a snakecharm sound to it, I will harness this to inject venom into enemies of the global proletariat

    Does that augmented second from, say, Ab to B in C min sound exileratingly exotic to your ears?

    alright but have you tried not actively thinking about a key or a scale or a mode and just going as the music guides you :very-smart:

    half-joke since key/scale/mode exists for a reason but it's also hella fun

      Totally! My knowledge of music theory is very casual and I definitely think it's better to use it to retroactively understand why something is cool, rather than let it prescribe your playing.

      This is awesome! Major space voyage vibes :meow-floppy:
