Here's a scale I use to get a middle-eastern, arabic "feel". By the way, I know very little about arabic music, but this scale has always sounded reminiscent, to me, of the little arabic music I've heard.

1 2b 3 4 5 6b 7 1

In C, this would be:

C Db E F G Ab B C

This scale allows for two augmented seconds, which give it an exotic feel.

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
