Well, the diminished scale might be considered exotic. 
You just take the root of your scale. Then up a half step,whole 
step,half,whole,half,whole...etc....
You can get some neat jazzy kinda phrases by mixing the diminished scale with 
the minor pentatonic.

 Hope this helps. I'm taking jazz lessons from a really good teacher so if 
there's something you can't find out somewhere else maybe i can ask my 
teacher. :)
