Oct 6, 2015 at 11:30 comment added Todd Wilcox I'm pretty sure any time you see "the" diatonic scale it means the same thing as "a" diatonic scale, except often by "the" what is meant is the whole category of diatonic scales taken together and assumed to act the same way, whereas "a" means a particular scale, possible used as an example.
