I’ve been thinking that once you really get the scales and modes underneath your fingers and in your mind’s ear, you could use a story arc (narrative arc) and assign different scales according to where you want a brighter, neutral, or dark tone. Also where you want tension and relief. I think it doesn’t have to sound too heavy handed or like romantic era classic music, or movie scores. Anyway, your lessons are always edifying and inspiring!
When I play over the "changes" sometimes on the four card I end up in that key and can't work my way out.I have never heard anyone touch on this subject.Thank You.
When I was learning to play I would play what I called a "Jazzed up blues scale" over jam tracks always thinking it would be much better if I only knew modes and how to apply them. It turned out that the little scale I had made up was actually the Dorian mode. I only found out years later when I was reading a theory book and it dawned on me, oh hey look at that lol.
neat... I need to hold my neck at about the same angle when I practice / study ... and use a guitar strap .. (using now new to me a H7 335 type)/// I notice Muriel Anderson sometimes does the same thing and uses something to prop it. Also what do you use as a practice loop peddle.. I have a R30 (I think it is boss) but not set it up .. old but like new... I suppose it could be used for easy study uses..
Thanks for explaining nothing . Lol. Major .minor. started from where. And this things still kills me.and if we have 3 chords. Each one it goes. Should I play 3 scales for 3 chords
Exactly. Playing 23 scales over single chord is easy. But once you have a chord progression it gets complicated. Sometimes just one scale of the key works, but sometimes chord core tones are not matching original key scale.
