I like the idea of of expanding on creating a chord progression from this Lydian Dom scale and creating little song to practice a jam over. Using the Alan Holdsworth dinner table analogy would be a good start. I’m a home hobby musician and my song writing sux. Great lesson. Thanx uncle and give those puppies a treat for me !!🤣🤓🤘

I remember when I learned this and it blew my mind. I taught myself the basic modes by coming up with a bunch of etudes to learn the sound of all the different chord extensions and possibilities. Before that I just did everything by ear and this method made it way easier to write songs. I'm still doing this to this day with stuff like the Byzantine scale or the Romanian Minor scale. What about doing a lesson on key changes? I know the Opeth method that you mentioned in the Blackwater Park video, but I'd like to see if there are any others.

8:36 - A cool thing is that you can play a regular old A Major Pentatonic over those chords and it works, since there's an A Major Pentatonic hiding within the A Lydian Dominant scale.

Great explanation of scale/chord relationships. You can pull some awesome chords from any scale, even simple pentatonics, if you free your mind and try out a bunch of interval combinations. Stacking 2nds, 3rds or 4ths in different combinations starting on every note in a given scale can yield some great discoveries. Thanks for an awesome video on this important topic!

Thank you! I've been trying to tell this to newbies learning scales for forever! They think just learning scale shapes is learning scales, but they never lock into the harmony, which is, in my opinion, more important anyways. But they all think I'm nuts when I say to become a better lead player, specifically, good at improvising, it's best to know your chords, chord progressions, and harmony, moreso than just scale shapes. But for some reason, people want to keep scales and chords separate, when they are, in reality, INTIMATELY connected.

I tend to work mostly off power chords and that way I can basically solo in any mode I want to. Also, when I'm putting a progression together, I will pick notes from a certain mode and those are the notes to solo with. That way I've kind of idiot proofed it. I do need to start thinking of it in more of a Chord perspective though. Thanks for another great lesson.

I know it's not exactly the core theme on your content but it would be *awesome* to get some episodes from you about the writing in extreme metal, there just isn't really much of a resource out there and I know it's mixed into your listening. You know breaking down what made Troy Azagoth so unique, or how Cattle Decap writes the way they do. Stuff like that. Granted I'm asking you to pander to me personally, since I love your technical content like this but I'm just not a hair/traditional heavy metal guy. Either way love your stuff and keep it up.
