  • Technically, this is in A minor (aeolian). The progression is a ii-v-i, resolving to an A minor chord.

  • @dann3th3manni3 You can argue that with Dave Weiner.

  • Fantastic my friend!!!!

    The progression may be in a minor key, but if you use the Locrian scale to improvise on, then that is more than enough for some people. The problem with using Locrian harmonies is that the tonic is a minor7flat5 chord, which is really hard to resolve to. I just solve this by not expecting my Locrian stuff to resolve, and then it can do whatever. Haha

    Good job on the solo, man. Both this and the second part, I loved them both!

  • @satchwayne When improvising over this track, yes, you use the B Locrian scale over the Bmin7b5 chord (the first chord in the progression). But the chord progression is a ii-v-i in A minor. B locrian has the same notes as the A minor scale; they are both diatonic to each other. Think of B locrian as the 2nd mode of the minor scale (the seventh mode of the major scale). Anyways, the jam track is in the key of A minor, not B locrian. The note "A" is the tonal center, not "B."

  • Finally, someone using locrian that isn't playing metal crap

  • You're an excellent guitarist, man!

    Keep it up. I wish you the best.

  • Not very lochrian to my mind ... 1.06 nicely resolved into something else.

  • Not very lochrian to my mind

  • Sounds really jazzy
