Scary indeed!!!

I have to "work" now so I'll print that off and get into it at home.

One quick question though: There are a few scales in there I've never heard of before i.e. Mela Sadvidhamargini & Mela Vakulabharanam

Could you possibly post these in TTSTTTS format for me? Or direct me to a relevant link?

Thanks heaps Nuffink.

Possibly. I don't have them in that format in my database but I may be able to manipulate it.
It's more important that you understand the principle than filling your head with a load of exotic scales.

Ok, the best I can do is to point you at Marc Sabatella's site for a list of the most common chord scales and Scaleopiafor some exotics.

I'm interested to know if they need particular preparation and resolution or if the notes can be used as embellishments as the chord is being played.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the links nuffink, some very juicy stuff indeed. I've been wondering about how to use accidentals/non scale tones for a while now and that was just what I needed.

Cheers

Those notes are sometimes referred to as "unresolved tensions". You don't need to resolve them and they can be used at will to embellish chords to make them sound fuller or more suspenseful. Which notes you use depends basically on the melody played on top of them. It's generally not a good idea to use tensions that conflict with the melody's tonality, although not even that is a fixed rule or anything.

I spose thats why its called music theory rather than music theorm!

Use of 9ths, 13ths in chord progressions
