Mode-soloing is so 80s.

I practiced 6 - 8 hrs a day when I was younger (what a fucking waste of time). Then I met my 2nd guitar teacher who happened to play a lot of Jazz with me and all of a sudden all the scales just disappeared in favor of sound.

You can play a C Lydian scale over a C Ionian chord progression. Question is: How do you do it? In C Lydian you got the F# which is an odd note to play, especially on the Subdominant (IV) of said chord progression.
Still, you can use it as a passing, chromatic note. Or you could play a Gmaj7 arpeggio on the Dominant chord (V) instead of the boring G maj chord.

I thought my refutation was much snappier.

As you said, it's more of a passing note than actually using a different mode. You can use all 12 notes if you like, and call it, let's say, expressionism

everyone wants to be the next guitar rock god. :lol:

that's because it's impossible to be a drum god :lol:

Drummers stay out of musician-threads, please.

That old chestnut doesn't work with me, because not only do I sight read flyshit for drums, I play piano too.

I couldnt resist, Drummeh, I know you're one of the better drummers

You right. I have to admit, I tend to post alot more in music-discussions than I do in other quarrels.

It's a fair cop. I have been DIEGO'D! :icon30:

Come to think of it - I still believe it would be fucking nice to have a q3w-theme composed and recorded by the musicians here.

Just imagine:

Yeah, it's still very rudimentary and not completely planned, but it's always the initial thought and the first idea that lead to greater things!

Some day I will probably start learning a few scales, just to play allong with a certain riff, but then again I lack the experience of playing in a band, wich is imo the best practice to learn some scales even without knowing the theory.

I don't think it will be hard to learn just a few scales and how to elaborate on them, just need to find a good teacher

I read the entire first page and I don't think anybody told him that the solo you're going to play depends on the key the song is in.
No matter what scale you're playing, if it's not in the same key as the rhythm it's going to sound like shit. Pretty basic, but it might be something he doesn't know.

hehe drum no man i doen wanna be a guitar god guy :lol:

i play strickly for fun and self enjoyment.

i doen care for the glory.

i learnm from memory ey its like puzzles that are actually fun.
