There's a scale in [[17edo|17ET]] which ~~sounds~~ similar to the 7 tone diatonic scale in [[12edo|12ET]], and can feel quite familiar on a guitar. With this in mind, improvising in 17ET can be ~~very~~ intuitive.

There exists a [[5L 2s]] scale in [[17edo|17ET]] which can sound similar to the 7 tone diatonic scale in [[12edo|12ET]], and can feel quite familiar on a guitar. With this in mind, improvising in 17ET can be fairly intuitive.

Use the same step sizes: ~~<code>~~L L s L L L s~~</code>~~, where ~~<code>~~L~~</code>~~ is 3 tones, and ~~<code>~~s~~</code>~~ is 1 tone.

Use the same step sizes: '''L L s L L L s''', where '''L''' is 3 tones (or 211.8 cents), and '''s''' is 1 tone (or 70.6 cents).

If you tune your guitar to the standard fourths tuning, it looks like this:
