Alex Milella - Modal Pentatonic (Only Pentatonic Scales) (2007)

[ohhellyeahgimmeabeer]

it is possible to play A lydian by playing A minor pentatonic -1 fret. do you know if any other modes could be played using this pentatonic shift??

@ohhellyeahgimmeabeer

On a major chord, you can use a minor pentatonic down an half tone from root of major chord to get a lydian sound... for example: on C major play B minor pentatonic.

On a minor chord, you can use a minor pentatonic up an whole tone from root of minor chord to get a dorian sound... for example: on C minor play D minor pentatonic.

There are several way to get other modes... expecially using dominant pentatonic!

See my Lessons Pages

Enjoy

@alexmilella I could not see them in English. I would love to see other ways to play modally using pentatonics. Thanks

Also, is your backing track available from somewhere? As well as any other good modal practice tracks?

There should be a lot more of this on youtube and a lot less shred wanking. Thanks for posting some killer slash-chord fusion!
