SUBSCRIBE! YESSSSSSSSS. I love this one. So many people were asking for another 80's style track, so here you go.
I know it kind of sounds more like 70
s style at some parts and really modern during the chorus type riff, but whatever. 80's is fine. :)

  • @natepepin09 Dude its obviously an E dorian chord progression . That said it does not mean you cant play other notes of the scale.... What about B harmonic minor? That works really well. So long as you stick to the appropriate Mode in this minor it will sound cool. Now what if you added to the chord tones? Or are you saying you can't do that either?

  • @Kris273 I said A minor because more people would understand that over saying A Aoelian. E Dorian and D Ionian have the same notes, but what scale is being used depends on the tonal center.

    You can tell someone to just play the notes of D major and play what sounds good and they'll do good because they'll naturally stick to the chord tones (E G B). But they aren't playing D major, the are playing E Dorian. The tonal center in this track is obviously not D, it is E.

  • @natepepin09 Dude E Dorian is D major . And further more if your are playing A minor over a C major triad your are playing A Aoelian

  • @Kris273 If you were playing over a C major chord you wouldn't say that you can play A minor over it. Yes, there would be some truth to it because both scales have the same notes and anybody decent will make it sound good. The fact of the matter is that you aren't playing in A minor, you are playing in C major. Suggesting that you're playing in A minor or D dorian, or B locrian doesn't make sense because you're focusing on the chord tones (C, E, G).

  • @natepepin09 Or just D major over .....

  • @CreamerMusic It's been a year and you still didn't change it to E dorian... LOL!!

  • @natepepin09

    You can play what would look like a B minor scale over this tune - you would actually be playing E dorian in context, but for the sake of playability let's say it's B minor scale :)

    Try it, you'll see how funky it sounds

  • It is in E Dorian. You can tell because playing a C over the IV chord (A) is dissonant. Also, if the root chord is minor, the fourth is major, and the fifth is minor, it is a Dorian based song.

    You could use the normal minor scale over it, but hanging on the C would sound pretty dissonant, mainly over the IV chord. You could always just use the E minor pentatonic scale and it would sound fine.

  • Thanks man ! ;)
