Scales with Root Ab: Hexitonic

Video Transcript

Now we are going to go over our A flat hexitonic scale. We are going to start off writing the actual scale out so we have A flat major, B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat. Now the basic structure of the hexitonic is a basic black chord which 1,3,5, and 7. So you have A flat, your 1, C is your 3, E flat is your 5, and your 7 is G. Now what the hexitonic chord does is take and alters the notes in between there so you have a sharp 2 which is actually a B natural sharp 2 and you have a sharp 4 which is a D natural, sharp 4 and then a flat 6 so that is actually a E. So all the flat and sharps we are using they are actually white notes in the key but it is alright but we take a look at it in the keyboard. So you have 1,3,5,7 and you take your sharp 2, sharp 3 and your flat 6. So you got this nice clump of 3 in there again just like the blue scale and now it is clumped around the flat 6. That is your A flat hexitonic another way to think about is in A flat triad and G triad right next to each other. That works great just playing over major chords. That is hexitonic in A flat.
