Hi fatb0t.
 Yeah, you can experiment a lot with notes that are flavor for certain modes, #4th for Lydian,b2nd for Phrygian etc. Play single note which is root E in your example and add notes one by one. Actually,Joe Satriani has few tunes based on same idea, different modes played on same root note, both riffing and soloing, tunes like Not Of This Earth,Lords Of Karma etc.

Some nice questions Caelumamittendum.
Those are flavor/emphasis notes you mentioned but they do not mean a lot if you play only them. I'll try to explain it tho. Lets say we play flat 7th interval only, it could me minor scale as well. But if we just touch major 3rd then we have Mixolydian mode and we can hear it. Same thing with sharp 4th interval, it can be piece of Dorian #4 which is 4th mode starting with Harmonic Minor. But if the throw major 3rd then we can hear Lydian mode. So as you can see all of these modes have emphasis notes but they are always kind a compared with major or minor scale. That's why I like to say that there are major and minor modes, only difference is usually just in one note compared to major or minor scale. -------------------- Youtube

I thought I answered
 Ok,once more. Lydian = emphasis on the sharp 4th (compared with major/Ionian scale) Mixolydian = emphasis on the flat 7th (compared with major/Ionian scale) Dorian = emphasis on the the major 6th (compared with minor/Aeolian scale) Phrygian = emphasis on the flat 2nd (compared with minor/Aeolian scale) Locrian = emphasis on the flat 2nd and flat 5th (compared with minor/Aeolian scale) Now you can see those major/minor modes groups I was talking about. And also you can see what is emphasis, note that is different in certain mode compared with major or minor scale. Since major and minor scales are the starting points it's not needed to seek for emphasis in them. But if we really want to do that then we could look for difference between them. And those difference would be 3rd,6th and 7th degrees, everything else is the same,root,4th and 5th. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Aug 8 2008, 03:42 AM)  Oh, you probably did. I was just looking for a: "yes, that is correct" and couldn't see it! Thanks for clearing that up, Muris! That's something I think is of great value when learning modes! No problem at all. Spot on, I do miss to say "yes,correct" here and there which leads to more questions I guess. But feel free to ask anytime you want,anything you want.
