Andrew Cockburn23rd June 2007Hey Dave - was worth the wait! This and the Dorian lesson are really cool!
Dave,
This is a great lesson. It combines two of the three techniques I'm working on at the moment; speed picking and legato (the third one is sweep/arpeggios). It sounds very melodic. I also like the different rhythms, it forces me to use the metronome to get the right timing (something I have to force myself to do). Much appreciated, keep it up.
Boris
Btw, I like your sound a lot. You get heavy sustain without all that distortion fuzz. Can you tell me your setup (amp/effects and their settings). Thanks.
misterj23rd June 2007Great lesson!! i love these different modal scale studies!! please do more!
The Uncreator23rd June 2007Great fantastic lesson, keep the awesome work comin!

shredmandan23rd June 2007Good job,
I miss the lessons like the first one you did though
David Wallimann23rd June 2007Thanks for all the kind words!
ch00ch00man asked me about my setup. I use a Line 6 Spider 2 amp. That's all.. Direct out and it sounds great..
Eat-Sleep-andJam23rd June 2007Great lesson. Im not very familiar with this scale. Can It be moved throughout the fretboard?
-John
hey, i great lesson! i love it!
Ryan24th June 2007So theres just one pattern for each mode?? Or many like the pentatonic scale??
Andrew Cockburn24th June 2007@EatSleepAndJam - Any pattern can be moved up and down the fretboard to get the same scale in a different key
@Ryan - A mode of a scale is just like a scale with a different formula. For any scale you have a number of patterns you can use, so each mode has many patterns (since it is just like any other scale).

FretDancer69: I cannot recommend GuitarPro enough. For the exact reason you just mentioned. The ASCI tabs pretty much suck, all the time. The is no note timing, or nothing. Just string and fret position. Since I got it, I'm a GuitarPro addict. I cant say enough about it. You can play back the music in perfect timing. You can stop and replay one bar (or more) over and over, until you get it just right. The composition tools are very intuitive and easy to use. One of my favorite things to do with it is, if is see a piece in a magazine or online, that I think looks good, I'll copy it in to GuitarPro and let it play it for me. For $59 US you cannot go wrong. I highly recommend it.

jammer9119th October 2007This lesson is great (just what i wanted to learn), but i cant lower the tempo on the guitar pro tab. Everytime i click on the quarter note (on top) and change the tempo to 50 bpm the tempo still continues to stay at 120.
How do i fix this?
LwShieN4th December 2007awesome playing man ..keep it up ![]()

Today we'll take a look at the Phrygian Dominant scale. When a scale is Dominant, it means that it has a major third and a minor seventh. That means that a Phrygian dominant scale is a phrygian mode with a major third.
