Hi friend!
When asking stuff about practice and lessons, you can do it in different parts of the forum, but the best place would be to do it at the PRACTICE ROOM sub-forum: LINK HERE. About your question, the backing track is based on A root but the chords change with the change of each modal pentatonic. Each chord used is the root chord of the mode that is being played. In order to learn the "root chord of each more I recommend you to explore this thread: Sounds of the Ionian Mode Sounds of the Dorian Mode Sounds of the Phrygian Mode Sounds of the Lydian Mode Sounds of the Mixolydian Mode Sounds of the Aeolian Mode Sounds of the Locrian Mode When entering to each of those links you'll find the mode explained and you will find the chord that you get when harmonizing the root in thirds with the notes of the mode. Those are the chords used in the backing track. For example, when David played A ionian, the chord sounding is Amaj7, when he plays A dorian, the chord sounding is Dm7, and so... However, there is something more happening. As he is using a synth there, he is also adding the "characteristic note of each mode in the backing track. What's the characteristic note? It's the note that gives each mode an special flavor. Dorian's characteristic note is the major 6th, Phrygian's is the minor 2nd, Lydian's is the #4, Mixolydian's is the minor 7th, and locrian's sound is the dim5 combined with min3rd and min7th. This can be a lot of info at first, but start exploring this universe and feel free to ask me everything you need to get into modes and clarify everything. -------------------- My lessons

So I think the chord sequence for the ionian exercise is: A | | D | | F#m | | E | | D | | F#m | | Bm | | A | | The reason I wanted to know what the chords behind the exercises were is so that I can make my own backing track. I find it quite difficult to hear the changes underneath the drums and my guitar. It will also help me to put the chords on the tab, so I can analyse which target notes he has chosen on the changes. thanks |

QUOTE (Ostracman @ Nov 19 2015, 03:35 PM) Thank you so much! Is it possible to know the progressions for each of the modal pentatonic exercises? Sure! Please share here the link to each lesson you'd like to know the progression and I'll transcribe it.
