Using the Locrian mode can be tricky.
Few songs are directly written in a locrian key because of its harmonic structure.
This lesson will show you a simple idea that will help you use the unique sound of the locrian scale in any situation...

  • i was paying guitar classes until i found your videos

  • @dislajk Thanks man! :-)

  • Man, your improvisation is masterful! Outstanding picking technique also. To my ears you are up there with Quayle, Hutchings, Graham, and all those UK fussion guitar players (that´s where they are from if I´m not mistaken). Is also great that you get rid of all the flashy bits (at least in this demonstrarion). Cheers!

  • @casanovajako That means a lot, thank you!

  • Really helpful, I knew the theory but great to see your approach to its application. Can the m7b5 arpeggio be used in combination with other arpeggios as well as scale modes?

  • @TheMikeWatson666 Yeah, you cam do that!

  • This is a great lesson. Thinking in thirds is what helped me with the modes. I hope you have music of your own that I can listen to, I really liked the backing tracks and your style of playing.

  • wow love Eric johnson
