RE: a moody scale?
Hmm, maybe you need to laern about modes. Here you go:-
LYDIAN - very bright, upbeat. Good for anything very bright and upbeat such as pop, kids music, etc
IONIAN - very sweet, happy, bright. Perfect for happy songs, love songs, etc. Used for almost all childrens music
MIXOLYDIAN - middle of the road bright scale. Good for light rock, pop, country, etc
DORIAN - perfect middle ground. Not too bright, not to dark. Good for country, rock, blues.
AEOLIAN - gritty, bluesy, warm sounding rock scale. This is the standard rock and blues scale.
PHRYGIAN - dark, classical metal sound. A Randy Rhoads favorite.
LOCRIAN - very dark, dissident, brooding. Good for heavy metal, dark classical, etc
