F# on the Mandolin, Every Scale

24 types, one root. Pick one for the map this chair's fills come from.

Every scale type this site maps, rooted on F# and laid onto this chair. Country leans hard on three of them — major, the major pentatonic inside it, and the blues scale that bends the rest — and the other 21 are here for the song that needs one.

A mandolin fill is short and often tremolo-doubled, so the scale here is a source of two- and three-note runs between the vocal phrases, not a ladder to climb.
