Description
You probably know Dorian, Mixolydian, Lydian Dominant, Altered, and Blues scales…
But have you ever used the Ritsu scale?
Ritsu is a bi-triadic hexatonic scale, which means it combines two non-overlapping triads into one six-note color. In this short, we look at C Ritsu as:
A♭ major + B♭ minor
That gives you a beautiful melodic color that works especially well when you improvise by moving between the two triads instead of simply running the scale up and down.
We also explore how Ritsu sounds over a quartal dominant C47 sound, giving you a modern, open, and colorful improvisational palette.
