    These licks are all applicable with nearly all primary scales: Major and Minor Blues, Dorian, Aeolian, Melodic and Harmonic Minors, let alone Ionian and Lydian. Thank you for not feeding into the mental blocks, but instead showing us how to break down the walls. One of, if not THE, best lessons I've seen! THANK YOU!!

    learn the major scale and its 5 patterns then you know all the modes, start with a different pattern it becomes a different mode this pattern is no different than what you already know

      @cosmocalypse3708 3 місяці тому +2

      While what you said is technically correct, it doesn't help (I'd argue it actually hurts) you in knowing what to play. The most useful way to think of G mixolydian is that it's G major with a flat 7, not that it's the 5 mode of C major. You wouldn't use a G mixolydian scale over a progression in C major. If that's confusing, Sweet Home Alabama isn't in the key of G. It's D mixolydian.

    So at 4:50 you are playing over a g7 vamp...when is the scale viable over a progession?...would it be when in the key of C but the progression uses G as the home base? When progession has the G tonality leading in the key of C is that a signal to use mixolydian G mixolydian and make it work over a progession?

  • @tnvalleyyoga7122
    @tnvalleyyoga7122 2 роки тому +1

    I thought if I started on a D (we flatten the 7th and the 3rd) and play a scale with no sharps or flats I would be playing a D Dorian scale. I know that the D is the perfect 5th to the G Major chord, so in one example you started your G Mix. on a D. Is this because you are playing over a G7 that would still give it a G Mix. sound? Thanks.

  • @Stringprodigy
    @Stringprodigy 2 роки тому

    I think learning those scale patterns is limiting. If you learn the sound of the scale cold in one octave, you can use your ears to guide yourself around rather than relying on a.preset pattern. Just my opinion.
