tools?  Right, feel free to close an redirect in case I didn't
understand what I already read here, but I stll have a general
question.  Currently my bandmate has a torrent of music writing
going on, meaning that my musical knowledge is being quite
stretched - major, minor, melodic, harmonic, on and on and on.
When I'm writing something for someone elses song like this, I
start by finding all the root notes and then simply test all the
scales I know which have those notes and might sound right. What
I'm wondering is, are there any other tools, so to speak, to
determine what scales or modes might be good? Listening to
