The best thing about that drone backing track though is that you can just use your ears to explore different scales and learn how to distinguish between them.
This is something I recorded back in 1996 using this tuning ...

Neapolitan major family (has 2 adjacent semitones):
1st mode: Neapolitan major itself. Starts phrygian, ends major. Semitone at the start and end; otherwise whole tones. Therefore a rare palindrome scale!
4th mode: Lydian minor. Starts lydian, ends aeolian. Double semitone in the middle.
5th mode: Major locrian. Starts Major, then a double semitone, then ends with whole tones.
Neapolitan minor family (has an augmented 2nd):
1st mode: neapolitan minor itself. Starts phrygian, ends harmonic minor.
Harmonic minor family (has an augmented 2nd):
4th mode: Ukranian Dorian. Like Dorian but with an augmented 4th.
5th mode: phrygian dominant. The ony scale Yngwie ever plays - in fact he calls it phrygian! Like Phrygian but with a major 3rd. Harmonic minor is almost never played on the tonic itself - it's almost always the 5th mode that gets played over the dominant chord in a minor key.
Persian major family (has 2 augmented 2nds and 2 adjacent semitones):
1st mode: Persian major itself. Like a phrygian major (aug 2), a diminished 5th and a harmonic minor at the top. Lovely!
4th mode - my favourite: starts phrygian, has an augmented 4th, ends harmonic minor. Awesome. Here it is:
Hungarian major family (has an agmented 2nd):
1st mode - Hungarian major itself: like the Overtone scale but with a flattened 2.
Hungarian minor family (has two augmented 2nds):
1st mode (Hungarian minor itself). minor with an aug 4 and a harmonic minor ending. Like the 4th mode of Persian but without the flat 2 start.
2nd mode: oriental. Flat 2, major 3, diminished 5th, then an aug 2nd to the major 6th, then a flat 7! Nice.
5th mode (Flamenco, or snakecharmer): flat 2, major 3 (ie an aug 2nd between 2 and 3), minor 6, major 7 (ie an aug 2nd between 6 and 7). This is a beautiful scale, and its intervals are also palindromic.
Hope that's of use!
