Scarborough Fair / Canticle

In scale order from the tonic — press one, or ▶ play the scale

To solo over it: E minor pentatonic fits everywhere. Open in the workbench →

Same seven notes as the key — each mode just treats a different one as home. The mode on a degree is the scale that fits the chord on that degree.
