It’s just the B major scale, E is the fourth note of the B major scale. Starting a major scale from the fourth note and using that note and associated chord as your tone centre creates the lydian flavour. Do the same from the 5th note and you get the mixolydian... etc

@@tonypowell250 Take a step back. Every key has an associated set of chords, C for example has C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bthinybob, C. If you play a chord progression beginning on the chord of C and keep making that your "home chord" that you return to then play the notes of the key of C over the top it all fits and sounds like you are playing in C. NOW... Write a progression using exactly the same chords but starting on the F and making that the tonal centre by returning to it at the start of each verse and emphasising it as much as possible. Again noodle around using the notes from the C scale but BEGINNING on and eemphasising the F. You are now playing in F Lydian. Now to return to your E lydian question....Try droning an open E note and play the notes of the B scale over the top.... now do the same with a B drone... you'll notice a difference in flavour.... your ear is always comparing the scale you are hearing with what it believes to be the "Home" note.. or tonal center.

E Lydian means you are soloing in B Major over a E progression. Therefore your minor is A flat minor pentatonic. At 4:10 you have that pattern at the 11th fret. It should be at the 16th fret.

@QJamTracks

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! E lydian means you should play a B major scale, keeping in mind the root is E, over an E Lydian progression (not an E major progression). If you would use de G# minor pentatonic (better not call this Ab because we are in a key with sharps), you would play all the right notes but wouldn't play the characteristic note for the E lydian mode: A#. So better play the D#m pentatonic scale if you do want to play that characteristic note. That's why the pattern is notated in the XI position. Superimposing rule: Over lydian play the minor pentatonic scale of the major 7th degree.

MAN! You got to leave the scale patterns up the whole time!! How will we remember them and play along, when we cannot see them? I am using these jam tracks to help me remember and play along at the same time. When you take the scale patterns down right away, I got to stop and move on. This could have been such a good opportunity to learn.

My intension is to show the scales among other possibilities, so you can learn them. Just pause the screen learn the pattern and then play along.

Hey there, it was a really nice one!! May I ask about it’s bpm?

Am I reading the first scale diagram wrong or is this a typo? At the 0:05 mark, with the E root on the 7th fret, it shows the raised 4th on the ninth and twelfth frets making it the 5th and as a result making the 5th a flatted 6th. I thought I'd bring this to your attention and/or if I'm reading it incorrectly you can steer me right. Nonetheless, another excellent video from you, thank you.

I think I know what you mean. There is a change in motive when G#m11 and the F# chord come in. You can consider this as a new section in the track. Although you can play the notes of the E Lydian scale, it sounds more like the G# minor key (E Lydian and G# minor share the same notes). So to make a difference in this section maybe you can reside to a G# minor pentatonic scale or a F# major pentatonic scale. Or maybe throw in some jaw dropping arpeggios? ;)

It's called a modulation. You could call it a Borrowed chord. However, it is too brief and carries no weight, which may or may not be a good thing. Borrowed chords are a bad way to try and understand what is actually happening. Where people lose their brains with music theory is the lack of having a definate basis from which to take perspective, because things actually become paradoxical and confusing to specifically describe and explain correctly when the music gets too complicated. The reason being that the way we describe things doesn't actually always match up with music in reality. Many contcepts can basically be turned inside out and used to contradict itself. Is it a C6 or an Amin7? The difference only being your own perspective... Borrowed chords are great as a numonic device, but I hate to tell you they don't exist. What really is going on is everything is always existing in superposition to itself in the background of reality. Modes have distinct flavors that take the form of specific movements between chords and specific scales. Your brain only makes the distinction between 2 different modes when it has been given information to make that distinction. If you play the notes 1 2 3 4 5 6, but no 7 you get both mixolydian and Ionian, but not Lydian. How ever with that said your brain still won't make the distinction of the mode being specifically mixolydian or Ionian until either the b7th or the 7 is actually played. By default your mind will try to hear the Ionian mode. It isn't until different notes are played that dictate otherwise that things change. Tbh, The spectrum of tonality gets extremely complicated to fully explain. I would have to write a book. There are many eccentric aspects and properties to it that many people are in denial and would argue with me about. I'm just glad more people started acknowledging modalities finally. You must learn all the modes and become very familiar with them both parrallel and relative. You'll discover that they connect in many different counter intuitive ways that generate specific coherent modal sounds and not modulatory sounds. People seriously have a hard time telling the difference and seperateing these ideas in their mind. I'll admit, that it is not easy. I would say that half of this piece is lydian and half of it is Aeolian being influenced by Lydian with that one weird chord just kind of thrown in there for no reason. I don't hate it, but i don't believe that it makes the music "better". I think It sounds modulatory because, It simply doesn't fit and is very abrupt. That is just me. Best of luck to you.

I learned how to play all seven of the Gregorian diatonic scales within the first week of picking up the guitar all over the entire fret board in one key. It wasn't actually that difficult to get the scales memorized. I wasn't immediately good with them other then shredding straight up and down. Using them to make intesting ideas is the hard part, but also becomes much easier with time and practice. Once you have learned them start doing different sequences with them and not simply straight up and down grinding. The proccess not only makes you physically better, but also ear trains you automatically or at least it did me. You will eventually literally be able to turn this video on and shredd to your hearts content and even experiment.

Things don't have to be complicated or fast or specific all the time. I'm just saying its like ripping off a band aide, hard and boring at first requiring too much thought and then quickly becomes instant and subconcious forever afterwards. I don't have to think and I can play all kinds of different riffs and modalities. Instantly find the key to a song and instantly know the notes. It allows me to even augment music with my own playing. Just use numbers to represent the notes and try to avoid thinking in terms of note letter names. It saves a lot of headaches.

Hi Endze. The A(add6/add9) is a proper A major chord with the 6th and 9th degree added to the chord. It doesn't have a G# sharp so it can't be a Amaj7 chord, although the richness of the sound could trick you. This introduction of this chord serves as a modal interchange. It comes from the E ionian mode. A composition technique that is frequently by Steve Vai and many others. I hope this clarifies the use of the A(add6/add9) chord.
