What other scales sound good in alternative rock music. or just rock in general? thx Beyond Aeolian you can take a look at Dorian mode - good in a minor context most of the time - and the Mixolydian mode, which sounds good over X7 chords. A great tip is to mix Mixolydian with the Blues scale. "As polyphonic music replaced mediaeval monophonic church music, the folk modes added by Glarean became the basis of the minor/major division of classical European music, the Aeolian mode forming the natural minor mode. However, it would not be correct to refer to any piece in a now-traditional minor key as being in the Aeolian mode, which would imply that the style of the piece was modal, which is usually not the case with music in a minor key as understood today. In particular, the main (but probably not only) difference would be that the minor-key piece would frequently use the raised 7th degree as its leading note, particularly in the use of dominant-7th harmony, whereas the Aeolian piece would rarely or never use such a raised leading note, and its dominant chord would be a minor triad or minor triad plus minor 7th." Good point about modal music. This is the reason we have those different names. Writing down the notes we can see they have the same ones. This happens for other scales. As example, Phrygian dominant can be called also Jewish scale or Spanish gypsy scale. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Good point about the modal rule, didn't know that. I also say Aeolian when I mean A minor because of the referencing and easier explanation. If I needed to explain someone about Aeolian use in medieval period, they would looked pretty confused.
About going out of the pentatonic scale. Well, start by going to Andrew's theory lessons and checking out about scales and modes. From there you can approach to learning those stuff in a much more organized way than just adding notes and not knowing the modes theory. It is actually not complicated at all once you understand it. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I would say, it is easier to first get out of the pentatonic 1 note at a time.
1) Try adding the blues notes. 2) Try adding phrygian characteristic note (here is one example https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...n-pentatonics/) 3) Try adding dorian characteristic note (here is one example https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...atonics-lesson/ ) Sounds different already, hum? -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Just one more post on the "off-topic" aeolian vs minor controversy.
From the explanation fkalich posted it seems that the difference between aeolian and natural minor is that minor would include eventual change into harmonic minor? I must confess I got a little bit confused and it seems to be easier to think that as historical issues and just think of them as the same...
