Arabic Scale and Medieaval music:


This tab demonstrates the arabic scale, and gives an example 
song in the
arabic scale. Then it will demonstrate the dorian mode and will 
show some
ways to make medieaval-sounding music with it.

The Arabic scale in the key of C:

(that just means it starts on C)
G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|--------------0--1--3--5--3--1--0--------------|
A|--------2--3-----------------------3--2--------|
E|--3--4-----------------------------------4--3--|

Fell fre to fool around with the scale and make little riffs or
even songs:

G|-------------------------0-1-0--------------------------------|
D|------2-------2------2-3------------2-------2--2-------2------|
A|--3-4---4-3-4----3-4------------3-4---4-3-4------4-3-4---4-3--|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Dorian Mode in the key of G:


G|--0--2--3--5--7--9--10--12--10--9--7--5--3--2--0--|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|

 This is the main theme to a medieaval song that is now used as a 
curch hymn
but I am doing it on two strings, it makes the piece sound more 
ancient:


G|--0--7--9--5---7--3---5--5--7--3--2--0--|
D|--0--7--9--5---7--3---5--5--7--3--2--0--|
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|

Here's something that I made up:

G|--12----12--10--7--9--10--12-7--0--0--3--5--7--5--3--2--0----3-0--0--|
D|--12-12-12--10--7--9--10--12-7--0--0--3--5--7--5--3--2--0--3-3-0--0--|
A|-----12--------------------------------------------------3-----------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

     I hope that this quick tab was useful.
