c lydian for the win :)

[MrFuck2012]

You can use G major (parent of C lydian) until it changes to either E flat major or G phrygian. The two small changes after that are G lydian Or D major and then G mixolydian or C major.

[megamixmovies]

I think it's in Cm (play C pentatonic over it)



[Void222X]

@megamixmovies no its G Major/E Minor

[megamixmovies]

@Void222X okay tanks

[Sewerrattz]

@megamixmovies The actual key scale of this song is C Mixolydian. That's the same thing as an E Aeolian (natural minor) but if you play starting from an E it might sound a little off because even though all the notes of those scales are the same, the C is the root and not the E. Hope I helped

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Sewerrattz

You mean D mixolydian. Either that or you mean C lydian.

[Sewerrattz]

@Fluffypopcicle My mistake...The key scale of this song is C Lydian. Which is also G Major, A Dorian, B Phrygian, (C Lydian), D Mixolydian, E Aeolian (Natural minor), Or a F# Locrian. Even though these modes all contain the same notes, it's best to play the C Lydian so as to keep the C note as your base note. However when it comes to the solo Joe himself has said that he plays from the E Aeolian positions. He does however Augment and Diminish a few notes a couple of times just to us as accents.

@Sewerrattz

Yeah. I also screwed up and said mixolydian for some reason. I think there is something in the general guitarists brain that wants to say mixolydian instead of lydian.

[metalhead6777777]

[Lombs95]

G scale LOL Or C... duno °L°

[Bowl2010Man]

what mode is he using in his scales when he solos?

[minorthreat141]

@Bowl2010Man The bulk of the verses is C Lydian. Play E minor over it, same notes.

[Bowl2010Man]

@minorthreat141 thanks guy

[reandor]

@Bowl2010Man Mostly C major scale with +4th (F#). I am sure this is a mod and it does have an actual name though all those years of music theory practice and mod names still elude me lol.

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@reandor Raised 4th is named a Lydian mode, but the names aren't imported when you know the intervals like yourself...have a nice jam!

[satchvaix]

Joe is the BEST!
