mattoten thanks a lot, your lesson was SO helpful, i want to get somehow into jazz (it is difficult) and you made it a little , awesome! thx! you are a very good teacher!
Great lesson, i have a question tho, the transition you use B Mixolydian is between the C Mixolydian and Bb Mixolydian, is it a half way point between or does it work like a half step if you like into the next mode like a half step to the next note?
a 5 month old reply, but if i understand your question correctly, you're asking if playing in between the two scales is like playing between two notes in between a scale. the idea is very similar. you are taking some outside notes of the chord that are dissonant but resolving them in a logical way that sounds good to the ear, in a similar way that you can use passing tones that are not in a scale and resolve them to a consonant chord tone on a strong beat.
Mat ,I think you're a very fine player don't get me wrong ,but you're just jamming and explaining nothing here that's OK, but from a didactical standpoint you didn't really have to say anything,you're just enjoying yourself here,to me that's OK because I can hear what you're playing but for others? greetings Victor.
Didactical = teaching with a moral element. It is impossible to provide a didactic guitar lesson. If you insist on using the $5 words, learn their definitions.
I don't know from which "source" you've got your wisdom but Didactical means; Intended to teach, no moral issues included.Just one person with experience and knowledge trying to teach another person.
Didactic adj. "intended to teach, particularly in having moral instruction as an ulterior motive: a didactic novel that set out to expose social injustice."
Oxford Concise: 1. meant to instruct; 2. having the manner of an authoritarian teacher."
Merriam-Webster: Didactic 1 a: designed or intended to teach b: intended to convey instruction and information as well as pleasure and entertainment (i.e.: didactic poetry.
Please note that the OED's definition states: "particularly in having a moral instruction as an ulterior motive" (particularly meaning, I assume, "especially" and "not exclusively"). In the Oxford Concise and the Merriam-Webster, the first meaning of the adjective didactic is simply "meant to teach." Therefore, Jazzguts is right in using it.
Threrefore, dear OM21Willie, I would suggest you three things:
1. don't read too hastily the OED,
2. consider other sources, as well,
3. don't patronize, especially people who are not native speakers: in doing so, you give your comment a really didactic (cfr. Oxford Concise 2.) overtone.
Respectfully,
A Ph.D. colleague (although not a native speaker of English)

Perhaps you could check the OED? Yes, that would help. My "wisdom" comes from a Ph.D. in English. You are Dutch, I believe?
