I just had a terrible idea
What if I took some scales and actually tried to write a melody or two while staying within the restraints of the scale.
And then, in the tunings I like to use, DADGAD, CGCGCD and CGDGCD, see what scales make sense to use.
Up until this point I just use the peck and test method when developing my own melodies, (which isn't working out too well).
Do you compose within the scales or do you do it as I do, by ear? Answering my own question it's probably a combo of the two.
