not even sure about how any of this works... but can i learn a scale that will give me insight into how melody works?

there are lots of different scales, so what is the best one to learn? an integral one, and one that is especially used in dance music?

currently i just mash the keyboard and see what fits. it either sounds good or it doesn't, i have found out a good few chords and progressions, but i have no understanding of the theory. i don't think i need to learn everything - just getting the gist of it should point me in useful directions.

I strongly recommend learning the Piscean scales.

Sounds like you've already learned every scale then.

Just learn A minor and you'll be off to a good start.

Well that depends... do you like analog or digital scales? Analog is more precise. I usually don't step on it everyday but more often cuz i'm loosing weight.

The problem with analog scales is that they make everything seem phatter than they really are.
