F# Across Guitarrón, Every Scale
24 types on one root — the map, and what the section does with it.
Every scale type this site maps, rooted on F# and laid onto this instrument. The repertoire leans on a handful — major, the pentatonic inside it, and the harmonic minor a bolero reaches for — and the other 21 are here for the number nobody warned you about.
The bass takes almost no melodic line, and that is precisely why these matter: the notes between one root and the next come out of a scale, and an approach that lands wrong is the loudest wrong note in the ensemble.
