Locrian Minor?

[James Austin]

I'm having trouble finding out information on what notes would comprise a minor scale in the Locrian mode.

 

Can anyone help?

Your direction is what is messing up your thought logic.

 

Locrian is the 7th degree of the major scale.  Superlocrian is the locrian mode of the melodic minor scale.

 

Start with your melodic minor scale right out all the notes so you know the names and functions of the harmony. Because there is no sense in playing a scale mode that you cant play against a harmony.

Hi James,

 

Not come across a Super Locrian.

A Locrian is as follows:

 

Key of C

C Dflat Eflat F Gflat Aflat Bflat (oct C)

 

Key of B (all naturals)

B C D E F G A (oct B )

 

What is it you are doing with this scale?

Mike’s point is that this needs to be in a suitable musical context.
