For me d mixolydian is my favourite key of all - you get that really mystical but cool rock feel - perfect example is float along fill your lungs (in G I think) but man it’s great
I've struggled with mixolydian tbh, whenever I try something with it it always comes out like bogstandard dad rock. We've all got our comfort zones, mine is c# minor. Did not realise float along was mixolydian but now you say it it makes a lot of sense. The live at Asheville one is immense
If somebody wanted to play along, it is best to just call the 'G Lydian' the Key of D major.That way, any musician will instantly know where you are based.. around the G....and be able to play all the notes and chords straight away. D E F# G A B C# D. As soon as the bass moves then it's a song rather than a mode.Modes are to Drones. You can play openly yourself and just use the notes of the Key Of D.Some call it improvising but I just call it 'playing'. Really love yr channel too !
I'm prob wrong but I thought using modes was more about the incorporation of the tonic note. Like you could technically say any song in a pentatonic scale is in whatever mode you want but it doesn't feel like that mode because it's not using the notes of that mode. This song I'm doing in the video is very consistently using that raised 4th and it is fairly droney. I will try jamming the song out thinking of it as d major and see if any new ideas come out! Thanks for the in depth comment!
@@JonnyMozza I hope this isn't too long as I know it is important. It's best to return to a Major Scale. Then you just stick to "It's all just Doh-Re-Mi " as a mantra. That way you get to the heart of the song. Keep the language 'gettable'.Don't let the language keep you from the song. After all... People hum melodies NOT chords. I feel chords are deified but the scale that gives you them gets left behind ! You have 7 notes to start.Then that scale gifts you the 7 chords.No scale = No melody.NO chords. In your song...you say G Lydian.That is true….if your bass was just a single drone. But even that is an unnecessary detour IMHO. As soon as it moves and chords change, it's a Song. Songs are to Keys ....and Modes are to Drones. If you learn Keys.. then Modes are unnecessary.Honest ! So jam around in the D Major scale....because it is the 'true' source of your song.The true home is D.. even though at first it may not seem it. Your G is its 4th note.Where you wrote your song ! Your ‘temporary home’ is G for your song. BUT that G only exists because the D ‘birthed’ it as one of its scale notes.When the scale was made ( just Doh Re Mi Fa So La Ti Doh ) Hence, the G major chord ( notes:G B & D) is just one chord out of a possible 7. It has the 7 notes of D running through its heart. The half steps are ignored in Pentatonic Scales..so that a person can get into music quicker. But it is the Major scale that gives rise to them.Minor chords too would not exist without a major scale. That's why why we learn Pentatonics but it is vital you go to the ‘parent’ major scale as soon as you can. Because then you will know the two notes we omit. In a D Scale we have D E F# G A B C#..D From the G that makes G A B C# D E F# ..G You can play from ANY note though.ANY. So it all vaporises and you just play the notes of D major scale any way your ear likes. Try it.Just jam the notes of D Scale over your ‘based around G’ song.Try limiting and then extending your ‘pool’ of notes.Be creative.Just PLAY. Leave all the preconceptions about modes to one side. It is just Doh Re Mi etc. In your case D E F# G A B C# Play it from each note up the octave.D to D..E to E..F# to F# etc Just that 7 note scale. Move on to each chordal arpeggio after. So include those chords that are in the key…that aren't in your song to pick out ! Just explore. Even Tomorrow Never Knows…which is quite droney…gets called C Mixolydian. But you want to play ! Not Get into online debates. So then just play the F Major scale and all its chordal arpeggios instead ..F G A Bflat C D E F. Use The Beatles themselves as your backing band.And C is the 5 of that scale. Sorry to go on like this…but I AM writing a book called Hidden In Plain Sight …and it is about how people want to get to the heart of a song and not get waylaid by the Laputa that You Tube teachers rely on ! Time is important. I can work out song Keys in seconds so I may as well put it onto a book. And I do love your outlook and channel. The great thing about knowing Scales and Keys in that order….you understand Modes as a by product…and need never use them. Hopefuly you don't delete this but I understand if you do !
I'm gonna have to read this a couple more times because it's a lot to take in. You defo know way more on this subject, when is your book gonna be out you think? You write very clearly!
@@JonnyMozza Ok.Thanks. The Television song The Dream's Dream is simply in the Key of D based around the G, or the 4. Notice how it breathes on the D major in its chord sequence. And the melody is composed of the D scale notes. Yes. It hovers back to the G but that is why I'd call it the temporary home.The actual source of notes is from the D scale. In my language it is understood by any musician...Key of D... based around the G. Some say ' tonal centre of G'.But it all dreamily dissolves away once you play. I see a Key as 7 villages.And Television wrote that song in the 4th village. The Root village is the D. Without which the other notes would not exist.Doh Re Mi etc. I just jammed to the Television song so I am sure. Just play around using your ear and the D Major Scale. All the chords are just a selection from the Dmajor Key. On the NOTE level it is a major scale. Once each chord is assigned it becomes a KEY. So remember , all 7 notes don't need to be used.All 7 chords don't need to be in the song itself. BUT you can use what you want when playing over the song.Use your taste. For example , I could outline any arpeggio of a chord that isn't in the song but is in the D major Key.Maybe the C# diminished. All the 7ths too. It all opens up because of Songs being in KEYS. Take care, thank you for your time and most of all , your wonderful refreshing channel. I'll send you the book if I ever get it finished.Currently dictating it into my machine.
This is for StratsRUs. I couldn't disagree more. Calling it G Lydian immediately invokes the sound of the mode, even though they are the same notes of D Ionian (natural major). Also, it's wrong that modes are for drones. There are characteristic progressions of modes as well. For example, Iron Maiden uses a lot of Aeolian, which characteristic progression is I min, bVI maj, bVII maj. Dorian, on the other hand, has as characteristic the progression I min, IV maj. The list goes on. As one writes in G Lydian the "home" is not temporarily G, while the original home is D. The home of G Lydian is, in fact, G. It's where you feel the resolve when you move through the progression. D IS NOT THE TRUE "HOME". For me, you have a misunderstanding of what modes are.

you are very up close to the camera

personally i love the composition of this video, id vote up close to the camera over wider lens, in my opinion
so?
