C Persian — Guitarrón

C Persian is 7 notes per octave (world family), drawn here as position boxes on the Guitarrón's ADGCEA grid with the root flagged in each — learn one box deeply, then let the overlaps carry you into the next.

Intensely exotic — two half-step clusters (b2 against the root, b5 against the 4) and a raised 7th make it the most dramatic of the world scales. Mysterious, ornate, and tense.

Heard in: Persian and Middle-Eastern-flavored melodies, film scoring for desert and ancient settings, and exotic metal and progressive-rock riffs.

The grid under these maps is the standard one, so the boxes are the boxes guitarists already know — the ADGCEA grid.

Play each box top to bottom until the roots feel like home base, then practice crossing between boxes mid-phrase — neck freedom is exactly that crossing, nothing more.
