Thread Name: the blues scale and the bluegrass scale
Subject: RE: the blues scale and the bluegrass scale

Oops, a diminished 5th is C-Gb, not C-F#. Uses the same keys/frets and sounds exactly the same (in equal temperament, but the fifth note of the C scale is G. And F is the 4th.

THerefore, C-F# is called an augmented (or "raised") 4th, and C-Gb is the diminished (or "lowered") 5th.

Caught Capt Birdseye on it -- better catch myself too! :-)
