r,ztroduction
HEXATONICS llexatonic scales are six note scales. One way to create a hexatonic scale is to combine the notes of two triads that don't have any common tones. These six note scales are a \-aluable and effective tool for improvising, for creating voicings, and for composing. Triads are incredibly strong sounding melodic devices. They are easy to think of and combining them is an accessible task for the soloist. Practicing hexatonics is great way to improve technique and it's also great for ear training. Hearing these different combinations of triads against different chords is a must for expanding your tonal pallet. Figuring out which triads lend particular colors to differ ent chords adds detail to your playing. Some hexatonics are consonant sounding against a chord type. For example, a DIC hexatonic (combining a D triad with a C triad) has a very consonant sound when played over a CA7:;!1 chord because all of the notes are in the chord. On the other hand, a B/C hexatonic will be more dissonant and cre ate a rub on that harmony because the D~ of the B triad is the ~9 of the CA7 chord. Some of the hexatonics presented in this book sound quite exotic and require atten tion to get in your ear.

l\1any modern piano players use hexatonic voicings by stacking the triads to create a particular harmony. It is useful to note that chord symbols can leave a lot to be desired and may not completely capture what the composer had in mind. We improvise "in" the sound of the voicing and using hexatonic voicings and lines can lend a very con temporary sound. There are numerous hexatonic scales. This book will focus on the ones that are prac tical for the improviser and composer. As with the other books in this series, there is a play along CD to tryout all of these diflerent sounds. If you liked checking out Pentatonics/ you'll have fun with Hexatonics. Good Luck!
As already stated, a hexatonic scale can be derived by combining the notes of two tri ads that do not share any common tones. For example, take a e triad and a D triad and combine the notes e-E-G and D-F~-A to create a hexatonic scale. To write it down or to give it a name, we will call it D triad over C triad.
Die
(D triad over C triad)
The reason the D triad is over the e triad is because it is more consonant sounding than e triad over the D triad. When the e triad is voiced on top it creates minor ninth intervals which are dissonant. D triad over
e triad can be written and played in any inversion, for example: .u
or it can be organized into scale format: EXAMPLE
D triad C triad
, r 11. ~J .. J
~
Due to the nature of this book and to economize space, the word triad will be omitted after the pitch name. It should be assumed, from this point on, that Die means: D triad over e triad. (Ordinarily, that symbol would mean a D triad over a e bass note.)
Note: In most ofthe following examples and etudes accidentals only apply to the note they
are attached to. In some cases additional naturals are given.
Some of the hexatonics in this book create a high level of tonal ambiguity. Therefore,
choosing key signatures, accidentals or even names jar the triads involved was not always
an easy task. So, when the same hexatonic in one place is referred to as "G:-/H-" and in
another as 'i'b-/G;'-" it is because ofthe context in luhich they occur.

What follows are 16 different kinds of hexatonic scales: 1.
D/C
major over major a whole step apart 2. B-/C
minor over major a half step apart 3. B/C
major over major a half step apart
4. B+/C+ augmented over augmented a half step apart 5.
F~/C
major over major a tritone apart 6. D-/C
minor over minor a whole step apart 7. Bb/C
major over minor a whole step apart 8. B-/C minor over minor a half step apart
9. D/C major over minor a whole step apart 10. F~-/C-
minor over minor a tritone apart 11.
D+/C+
augmented over augmented a whole step apart 12. DO/CO
diminished over diminished a whole step apart 13. B-/C+
minor over augmented a half step apart 14. Bl>+/C
augmented over major a whole step apart 15. BO/C
diminished over minor a half step apart 16. Eb-/C
minor over major a minor third apart (Hexatonics 11-16 are covered in Chapter 11)
CHAPTER 1
We will consider the hexatonic "major over major a whole step apart," for exam ple DIe. This hexatonic can be played over many different chords. It fits over C1'17, C7, B,1'17~5, D7sus, A-7, H7 altered, F~o, EO natural 9, GI'1 sus4 and G-1'17. What follows is a list of different melodies derived from this hexatonic scale. Rather than practice all of them, select a few, and play them in all keys in order to gain flexi bility with these hexatonics. There are 12 melodies selected from the list and transposed to all keys. Choosing just a few of these melodies and playing them in all keys is more beneficial than trying play too many and not really getting them down.

APPLI CATIONS
c
Try using this hexatonic on tunes 1, 2 and 3. The hexatonic to play is written above the bar with the chord symbol below. Note that sometimes the hexatonic includes an avoid note. For example, when playing D/C hexa tonic on a D7 chord, the fifth ofthe C triad, which is "G", is the natural 11 ofthe chord. Natural 11 on a dominant chord is an avoid note but it sounds fine when used in pass ing. The motion defines the context. TUNE 1 (CD TRACKS 3 e>" 4) I C

CHAPTER 2
"
next hexatonic to consider is the commonly used "minor over major a half step apart." When the minor triad is stacked on top of the major triad, the minor chord becomes the 7, 9 and :n 1. EXAMPLE:

can be played over the following chords:
F~o, D7, D7sus4, Gb.7Slls4 and B-7 Phrygian.
Again, there are 72 different melodies written out. Select a few to practice and play in all keys keeping in mind what chords they may fit over.

CHAPTER

-
The third hexatonic we will investigate is major over major a half step apart. When the B triad is voiced over the C triad, major 7th intervals are sounded. If you invert these triads and voice the C triad on top of the B triad, minor 9 th intervals are sounded. In some instances you might want the more dissonant sound of minor 9th s. EXAMPLE
B/C 1'1

B/C creates major 7th intervals between the C and B, the G and F~ and the E and D~. C/B 1'1
\~
l~
[ • Itr
J
C/B creates minor 9 th intervals between the D~ and E, the F:! and G and the Band C.
This major over major hexatonic can fit over many chords. For example, it can be played on C~7, A-7, D7, F0, B7:,9, Ep7 or E-7.

CHAPTEH

The next hexatonic is one of the most unusual apart and can be used over many chords. EXAMPLE:
ones~ It
is two minor triads a half step
B- /C
B-/C
~
f
~
B-/C- can be played over A-7, A0, F~0, F7, A77, B7, D7 and E?ll.7. Of course, con text is everything! On some of these chords we are allowing much leeway. For exam ple, when playing the over a A,7 chord, it sounds the major 7 as well as the ,7, which will work in certain circumstances. On an F7 chord, it sounds the :9 and the 79. Played over it sounds the :13, :5 and :9. On F:0, this hexatonic includes the ,13, q13 and the ,9. See also Chapter 9.

UHexatonic scales are six note scales. This book presents apractical method for the construction of hexatonic scales that are useful for both the improviser and com poser. Many modern piano players use hexatonic voic ings by stacking the triads to create aparticular harmony. We improvise ··in" the sound of the voicing and using hexa tonic voicings and lines can lend avery contemporary sound. As with the other books in this series, there is aplay along CD to tryout all of these different sounds.
If you liked checking out ··Pentatonics", you'll have fun with
