Locrian Mode



Use the locrian mode over a minor 7b5 chord or diminished triad of your chosen key. This scale will also work over chords in the major key one fret higher. Use A locrian over an A minor 7b5 chord, A diminished triad, or chords in the key of Bb major. Out of all the scales, this one is not real popular but you will find uses for it. I use it myself from time to time, it sort of reminds me of the phrygian scale a bit because it has that flatted second in it. Anyway it is a bit weird sounding at first, but the more you use it it will become alot easier on the ears lol.



Formula 1, b2, b3, 4, b5, b6, b7






Forward To Harmonic Minor Scale From Locrian Mode
