  • how do you apply the melodic minor marty? what would be your choice of chords to solo with melodic minor?

  • I'm still working on that one, but one cool aplication is if you are playing A mixo over A7 and it goes to the IV chord (D7) play the A melodic minor over D7 and you get the D7 Lydian dominant. I've got something on this that I will put up!!

  • Marty,

    How do I know when to apply the  A mixo? I guess my question is how do I know what mode to use? Ive got a copy of Guitar Grimoire. Its great for laying out scales and modes but I'm still lost on how to apply it.

    Thanks,

    Dan

  • A mixolydian would be played over a progression that revolves around an A7 chord.

    D mixo would be over a D7 chord so forth and so on. there is obviously a lot more theory than that and this basic rule will almost always work, but unfortunately there is a lot more to know about all this stuff. Start with this idea however!!!

    feel free to ask any other ?'s

  • 1 chord short of Jeep on 35/Scofield. Very nice

  • Best lessons on youtube. Period.

  • Batista! hehe

    nice tone man

  • "The whole shape?" Why start on the E string if you are teaching the Mixo in A?  I do not understand. Why not start on A?

  • aint tht dorian ?

  • @TheJuliusJT Looks like a Herritage 535 to me, great guitars! Better than Gibson's 335's in my opinon...

  • great lesson.. thx. what guitar is that?

  • @guitarfreak779 Hows that, bald?

  • to my ear the mixolydian mode in 5th root on the e string seems off when i play it to this group of chords....am i doing something wrong?

  • @mofemobile I'm not sure but seeing the way he climbs up the neck, it looks like he's playing an arpeggio of the chord he's playing over. Maybe a few different arpeggios. : P
