Yeah, that's if it's in a chord - I was just talking about lines. To me, chords ARE lines, or rather the notes of a scale heard all at once. So your B# is a totally legit chord. I mean D7 is the simple sound, but for the sake of theory, the spelling B#DF#A, is a legit chord. The augmented 6th, can't remember if it is German 6, Italian, or French, but it has a name. Always you find first inversion, DF#AB#.[8|] But what you were talking about is totally legit, lines or chords. I just think it is much easier to think "D7" so the note is C natural. One of those Augmented 6th chords sounds like D7b5, but the spelling again is inverted so it is G#B#DF#, and always in second inversion! LOL! One more scale I thought of was the 5th mode of harmonic major, which also has the "Manuel de Falla" sound and is good for any flamenco stuff. In Rondeña (based on C#) it would be C#DE#F#G#A#B. Sounds great with that D bass note too. Maybe "Cueva del Gato" uses that? Can't remember. That tuning allows for a lot of cool modal opportunities. Ricardo
