	hexatonics
		For instance, hexatonics use shapes that require 2 adjacent strings, and since the guitar is arranged in octaves diagonally from any root, we are able to repeat this shape across the neck, like so:
		Hexatonics are a vital insight that most players don’t discover until much later down the road.

	Hexatonic thirds from Schubert to Schoenberg: Voice-leading, Harmonic Congruence, Prolongation
		This paper investigates the role of a voice-leading pattern termed hexatonic thirds across a one hundred year span of music, c.
		Part I briefly defines and explicates hexatonic thirds-a transpositional sequence of parallel major thirds moving by alternating minor seconds and minor thirds, for instance B/D# - C/E - Eb/G - E/G#.
		Hexatonic thirds not only provide an addition means to analyze hexatonic content, but also allow us to better understand the hexatonic's overall role in both tonal and atonal music.

	Modes in Traditional and Early Music
		The first basic scale given is with the B omitted, the second with the F. The Hexatonic mode which would be ambiguous between the Locrian and Lydian is impossible due to the omission of the keynote.
		There are some hexatonic modes found in traditional music which follow other patterns, such as the Ionian without the sixth scale degree and the Lydian with no seventh.
		The first basic scale given is with F and B omitted, the second with C and F, the third with B and E. There are two impossible pentatonic modes: the Lo/Ly/P, omitting the 1st and 5th; and the Ly/I/Lo, omitting the 1st and 4th.

	[smt-list] Hexatonic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The 'hexatonic' set 6-20 (on my list) is referred to as the 'Ode to Napoleon' hexachord in earlier literature on 12-tone music, since it is the hexachord of that famous Schoenberg work.
		As Rick Cohn as noted, the hexatonic hexachord occurs in Wagner's music, with Parsifal perhaps being the most fruitful source to explore.
		Jonathan Bernard's explanation of Messiaen's omission of the hexatonic hexachord from his array of modes of limited transpositions is certainly on the mark.

	The Rules of Musics
		One prevalent view of pentatonic and hexatonic scales is that they should be seen as “gapped” scales.
		Pentatonic and hexatonic scales are so important that they need a proper nomenclature of their own.
		Perhaps this is nit picking, but this writer finds current systems as inaccurate and deceptive by not recognizing both the importance of these scales to the music as well as that these scales are not second cousins carved out of complete scales but are foundational scales to which more notes were added.

		The most prominent artist to use hexatonics on a regular basis is McCoy Tyner, and his tune Passion Dance [The Real McCoy] is an excellent example of a hexatonic melody.
		The notes form around the tonal center of F as follows: F, G, A, Bb, C, Eb, F. The left hand voicings are built in fourths, although McCoy will sometimes invert the voicing to cluster two of the pitches.

	minstrel: RE: "Celtic" music
		Collinson discusses the modal, pentatonic, and hexatonic nature of Scottish tunes as well as the familiar 'thumbprints' of Scots melodies, namely scotch snaps, double tonics, wide intervals, frequent ornamentation, melodic cliches, and tunes ending on notes other than the keynote.
		Most of this number are hexatonic, and all end on a note or chord other than that at the start.
		Among the larger pieces, where several strains can be distinguished, it is common to have the first basic strain tune elaborated, and sometimes extended in further strains, rather than a second or third strain of new material.

		Use the minor hexatonic scale sharing the same root note as the minor root note of the key you are working with.
		As with the pentatonic scales, the minor and Major hexatonic scales are identical if used in the same key, but the application and subsequent effect is relative to their relationships with the key (Major or minor).
		The Aeolian mode is used in the same way as the minor pentatonic or minor hexatonic scales (key sharing the same minor root note as the mode) and is the most commonly used of all pure modes.

		The only common Hexatonic (6-note) scales we find in modern western music are the blues scale and the "whole tone scale." Both of these scales are rather new to western music, starting in the late 19th and 20th century.
		Of course any 7-note scale with one note missing can be regarded as a 6 note scale though in most cases the sound is not distinctly different from the original 7-note scale.
		Of course you can translate all the notes up or down by any number of half steps.

		The Blues scales (hexatonic) are polymodal in construction.
		Pentatonic scales are naturally limited in their harmonic direction due to the lack of semi-tones.
		Harmonic monotony is easier to avoid with the hexatonic scales due the additional interval.

	[smt-list] Messiaen and the Hexatonic
		Like mode 3, the hexatonic collection has 4 transpositions and includes major and minor triads that occur at regular major-third intervals within the mode.
		Moreover, the hexatonic collection is contained in mode 3.
		In short, mode 3 is a much richer source for sound-color relationships than the hexatonic collection, which may explain why the latter collection is not listed as a mode in the ³Technique de mon langage musical.²; Now let me demonstrate how the hexatonic collection might suggest color associations for Messiaen.

		Wolf’s music reflects the duality of Mörike’s poetry with a complex interweaving of D and F# tonality.
		The resulting mediant relationship yields a hexatonic structure that appears in various guises throughout the two songs.
		With its kaleidoscopic shifts in tonality, the music offers a perfect analogue to the narrator’s text; it is a blurred vision of the unknowable, the mystical, and the enigmatic.

		Notice that even though the descending line is simple the E major hexatonic scale (E F# G# A B C#), and the ascending line is the E minor hexatonic scale (E F# G A B D), the harmonies that the echoes create are wonderful.
		Don't be taken aback by the term "hexatonic" - it simply defines a scale that contains six notes (hence the term "hexa").
		Other musicians simply approach the major hexatonic scale as a major scale without the seventh degree, and the minor hexatonic scale as a natural minor scale without the sixth degree.

		Summary for those too lazy to read the below: G Major/Ionian, G Major Pentatonic, G Major Hexatonic, and G Minor Blues are all usuable (but careful with the Blues scale).
		Ionian for you mode lovers), G Major pentatonic w/ b3 and maybe #5 thrown in for spice (think about bending the A and D notes to hit the b3 and #5), or the G Minor Blues scale for a bluesey minor over major type sound.
		That's basically G Major Pentatonic with the added 9th of F#, so it's every note in G Major except for the 4th (C), which usually just clashes unless you play it over a C or Am chord, anyway.
