[RichManofAction]

thanks. you too.

[josh91w]

uhh, that's just one pattern of the locrian mode. You needed to explain where it comes from, and how to use it...

[RichManofAction]

nah- dont feel like it- feel free to do it!

[jacobestes]

Does he need to explain where the guitar originated, how western music came to be, or what your music should be about? Learn the notes, play your fucking guitar.

nice sound, like your playing in the bathroom while taking a crap

[guitarguy2691]

a modal pattern is nice to know, but absolutely of no use if you dont know how to apply it. if you play C major over Bm5b, it's still going to sound like C major if you dont focus on the modal notes.

dont take this as an offense, i just wanted to point this out to people who are new to modes. find out what note makes the mode sound the way it does and try focusing and bringing out that note in your playing,otherwise it's still going to sound like a major scale starting on a different note

[P8Dealer]

You should be happy that he is explaining these things.

I say thanks for teaching me!

Lose the reverb, lose all the distortion, and gain some pick control! You are fingering the notes before you pick, gotta get better with that timing. :) After you get all your technique solid then add the effects. They hide mistakes too much and you will use it as a crutch.
