Ah, thank you, Shadow!

I will definitely take advantage of your offer, when the questions begin.

Music Theory is like my life. I'm thinking of going to grad school for theory to teach it at a college. And I'm a jazz guy so I actually have to use all the theory I learn in practical situations, so I know it intuitively as opposed to just being able to rattle off facts.

I have some issues with classical musicians and some of their refusals to see the value of theory. I could rant on and on.

Hopefully you're not talking about my avatar, cause that is a picture of guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel.

Although there is a picture of me with my ES-335 playing a gig in my profile.

Either way, thanks :D

Gah!

Can anyone help me construct an F# Melodic Scale? I've got F# G# A B C# D E F# and then the next E is driving me crazy!!!

E-F is normally a half step, so a sharpened F means they're on the same 'level' right? So then you'd sharpen it right? But then the next B I can't figure out. I'm putting on a double sharp. And then it doesn't par out!

I know you can mix sharps and flats on a melodic scale, but I don't think it works on an F#.

I am so confuzzled.

Let's see, isn't it whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-whole-half?

F# - G# - A - B - C# - D# - E#(F) - F#

Or are you really trying to make a harmonic minor which is whole-whole-half-whole-whole-half-whole-half? The harmonic would be:

F# - G# - A - B - C# - D - E#(F) - F#
