Scales & Dromoi

Understand the scales behind Greek music, see their notes and theoretical chord relationships, then try them on your bouzouki. Each lesson is shared; choose the neck that matches your instrument.

Scales Lessons

01 · What Dromoi are

Where the names come from, why the sources disagree, and how we approach them on the bouzouki.

02 · The catalog of Dromoi

All Dromoi in one place, with their intervals and their diatonic chords.

03 · Scales and modes

The modes of the major and the minor scales, with their intervals and which ones are the same as Dromoi.

Chords in Each Scale

Choose your bouzouki, root and scale. Compare the notes and calculated degree triads, then select a chord to see its notes and a compact fretboard shape where one is available. These theory examples support study; practical Dromoi accompaniment depends on the music and your teacher’s guidance.

Keep learning with your teacher

Bring what you have been practicing to your next lesson. We can work on the sound, technique and musical questions together.
