Tetrachords are "half a scale".
A Major tetracord is tone > tone > semitone
A Minor tetrachord is tone > semitone > tone
A Harmonic tetrachord is also known as a "Gypsy" tetrachord, and goes:
semitone > tone-and-a half >semitone.

A full Harmonic Scale consists of a Minor tetrachord and a Gypsy tetrachord, separated by a tone, thus:
tone > semitone > tone > tone >semitone > tone-and-a-half >semitone.

Example for A minor Harmonic scale:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G#, A

The "Gypsy" note is that G#....in a natural minor scale, it would be a G.]]> Guitar Players Discussion OdNt43 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-139188 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-139178 Thu, 17 Nov 2005 17:46:38 +0000
The answer for La Manouche music is not playing in modes. The answer is minor keys, harmonic and hungarian minor scales, diminished scales, the particular instruments used, the picking and strumming techniques, etc.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-139178 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-139169 Thu, 17 Nov 2005 17:07:45 +0000
Ionian...major scale we all know.
Dorian...blues/jazzy/rock
Phrygian...spanish feel
Lydian...lofty airy feeling
Mixolydian...folk, rock and blues
Aeolian...dark, mystical
Locrian...tense, unresolved, dark.


for what it is worth.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-139169 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138924 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 18:04:07 +0000
It uses harmonic minor, hungarian minor and diminished scales.

I don't know about other Gypsy styles.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138924 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138917 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 17:11:39 +0000 sht I forgot to look at my mode mood notes last night.

I dont remember specifically. I'll check my notes tonight.

modes definately have moods.

Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeilian, Locrian.

was it Lydian?]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138749 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138574 Tue, 15 Nov 2005 01:41:08 +0000
1) minor keys. Minor and diminished scales.

2) no drums, beat is carried by a very robust strumming with lots of choke on the chords.

3) Lots of extended chords. Why play an Am when you can play an Am(add 6) :)

4) Rest strokes for picking.

5) Big heavy strings, high action, wide bodies, and a big fat stiff pick will get you the volume and tone.

6) Violins]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gypsy-music/#post-138574
