What scale(s) this could be?
I made a melody with these notes: A#, C, C#, F, G#. It has chords and some single notes. At the moment it's just a short loop (2 bars/measures). I have a friend who plays guitar and we are trying to make it longer... but there is a little problem... we are not sure what scale that could be...... we figured it might be Dorian from A# or Major from C#. I don't want to use Major at this particular track because it's too happy scale. And my friend says he can't play Dorian because it's not a "normal" scale... it's a "mode" or something like that.
So.. my questions are:
1. What other scales are using those notes I mentioned?
2. Is it difficult to make a new guitar melodies with Dorian if you haven't used that scale before?
Ps. I would like to make a track that has Celtic, Blues, Funk or some "exotic" vibe (arabic, indian, turkish etc..). But you can suggest any scale that might fit to those notes.
Big thanks in advance.
