Solo Help! Options

[TesttubeMammoth]

Hi Ivan!

Was wondering if you could help me puzzle something out.
I am in the process of learning new scales at the moment - it's a bit hit and miss because I want to try and learn scales that will be useful to me but at the same time you don't know if they're useful until you know them...

So, I heard this solo recently which has the kind of sound I want to achieve - not necessarily the speed but the feel of this solo really appealed to me. That kinda fusiony thing that I can never quite put my finger on...

Would you be able to shed some light on what scales are being used here please? Just a general idea of how to achieve this sort of feel would be really useful.
I found a guitar pro file for the song too, the solo in the video is about 3:10 and starts at bar 76 in the guitar pro file. (the rest of the song is pretty crazy too) file removed


Thanks!

Frankie.

Well, it makes sense, cause Em7 chord appears in three keys: C major, G major and D major. In G major, it's based on Aeolian mode, and in the same key - you can find A dorian. In fact, A dorian has the same notes as E minor scale.

As for Eb dorian over Em7, that fits, cause it sounds bluesy probably.. Anyway, it's Dd major key.
