  • what kind of pedal are you using to loop those chords you solo over? i am finding your videos to be exactly what i need. something about the way you explain it works for me. thanks. I would like to get one of those pedals to practice with.

  • I'm using a Boss delay pedal that has the hold feature. Thanks

  • So, is it safe to say play the fifth note in the major scale as a 7th chord. Then, play the major scale itself over it?

  • Yes. The 5th note of the C major scale is G. Play a G7 chord and the C major scale over it and you'll hear the G Mixolydian scale. G A B C D E F G = 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 1= G Mixolydian.

  • damn i like your guitar tone really jazzy! are you using a roland JC-120??

  • this guy knows his shit, I don't even play guitar but I get it

  • Thanks John,

    for explaining modes as a phenomena of relationships. It's refreshing to see some coherency on youtube. Cheers.

  • like it, very clear, been trying to figure out these modes for ages, thanks dude

  • ...is that...JOHN MALCOVICH? I just KNEW he did more than acting.

  • @movida65 yea you r right. In that case from a G7 to an minor 7 chord what makes mixo unique is that it has a flat 7 but a maj 3rd. So obviously if you switch to a minor 7 and you have a flat 3rd mixo could work but it has to be in context and melodically consistent with Am. But you may pull more color and tension out of your sound if you make a concious effort to play exclusive Am licks even if you are in G mixo territory on the fret board

  • @eoianhen I use a Boss RC3 - best pedal i ever got for practicing scales over chords.

  • @darthfocus No u

  • @endauthority Different formula same tude.
