I just want to say that I have been playing improvisational rock for going on 12 years, and it is all about tension and release. In a simple way, the tension often comes from going outside of the scale and the release comes from resolving back to a note within the scale. Just a note for those players looking to keep things interesting. I learned this back in college by making mistakes that ended up being peek moments in a jam. D Mixolydian should serve a jumping off point only:)

sounds like "birdsong"

Thanks! These are amazing, and are a great way to improve anyone's playing. Keep 'em coming! Please and thank you :)

Other things to try over this: Modal mixtures of Dmaj blues/Dm Blues scales, Parallel triads of Cmaj-Dmaj, A melodic minor, occasional D diminished arpeggios resolving into Dmaj.... Helps break me out of the mixolydian meandering.

This played far too long before I realized it was a short clips repeating. Awesome to jam over tho lol

Everybody thinks this is something different, that's so funny . .. My two sense is that it's Mixo the 5th of G major and E- Pentatonic . . . try that folks hehehe

Dont think scale. Think arpeggios. Use any dominant arpeggio you can think of. That will expand your licks 40 fold.
