We're getting too far ahead. Its going to make this thread tough to follow. I'm backing up 7 questions to this:
QUOTE
Remember from my post that to find out what gives Lydian its characteristic sound we compare it to the Ionian scale. There was only one note difference and that was G#. So we try to EMPHASIZE those chords that contain G# in our chord progression. In D Ionian that would be G# dim, E major and C# min. In D Ionian you have E minor NOT E major.
These 2 statements sound contradictory.
In D Ionian that would be G# dim, E major and C# min.
In D Ionian you have E minor NOT E major.Is one of those supposed to be Lydian?

1) What scales contain both a Dmaj triad and a C#min triad?
Dmaj would be D, F#, A (I have to write out the whole scale and erase the 2,4,6,7)
C#min would be C#, E, G#
A Ionian, B Dorian, C# Phrygian, D Lydian, E Mixolydian, F# Aeolian, & G# Locrian
QUOTE
2) What scales contain both a Dmaj triad and an Emaj triad?
Dmaj = D, F#, A,
Emaj = E, G#, B,
Same as last time... A Ionian, B Dorian, C# Phrygian, D Lydian, E Mixolydian, F# Aeolian, G# Locrian

I am wanting to solo over a D mixolydian chord progression. From reading the posts I did in the main thread can you answer the following questions please?
1) Is this a Major or Minor mode?
Major.
QUOTE
2) What is it's scale of comparison to figure out my chord options?
D Major? (kinda guessing since this is a new concept.
"Scale Comparison") If the
chord progression is Mixolydian though, don't you need the chords for D Mixolydian? Not D Ionian? If you said you wanted to do a Mixolydian solo over an Ionian progression I'd say Dmaj... But if its a Mixolydian chord progression I don't know why you'd use a scale of comparison.

3) What are my diatonic scale options for soloing over this?
Lets come back to this after we get through the above parts.

4) What are my pentatonic scale options for soloing over this?
Lets come back to this after we get through the above parts.
