At first glance, that might not seem like a good idea, but it works.

Diatonic modes: I Ionian 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 II Dorian 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 III Phrygian 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 IV Lydian 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 V Mixolydian 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 VI Aeolian 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 VII Superlocrian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 Melodic minor modes: Some of these modes, particularly modes IV (Lydian dominant) and VII (altered or superlocrian) are often used in jazz over the V chord in a ii-V-I cadence. I 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 II 1 b2 b3 4 5 6 b7 III 1 2 3 #4 #5 6 7 (c.w. b1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7) IV 1 2 3 #4 5 6 b7 V 1 2 3 4 5 b6 b7 VI 1 2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 VII 1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 Harmonic modes: Modes I, IV and V are used a [b]lot[/b] in Klezmer music. They'll also do cool stuff like superimposing the harmonic minor scale rooted on the V over a V7 chord in a V-i cadence... Wacky. I 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 II 1 b2 b3 4 b5 6 b7 III 1 2 3 4 #5 6 7 (c.w. b1 b2 b3 b4 5 b6 b7) IV 1 2 b3 #4 5 6 b7 V 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 b7 VI 1 #2 3 #4 5 6 7 (c.w. b1 2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7) VII 1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 bb7

[quote name='The Funk' post='291646' date='Sep 25 2008, 11:47 AM']Excellent. Looking forward to it.[/quote] I'm specifically thinking of framing it in terms of the LCM popular music theory syllabus (which I've looked at a couple of times now and think is excellent), but aimed particularly at bass players.

I'm going to rework this in the coming weeks to improve it.

Bought a Musicman Axis Super Sport from Keir a few months ago, which remains my main six string to this day. I was so happy with it, I hassled him for a G&L L2000 I saw he had bought... he relented and sold it to me for a bargain price. Seriously nice bass. I'm half-resigned to the fact I will be giving him more money in the future...

Couldn't find an existing thread, so started this one... Steve sold me some neutrik solid jack-jack pedal connectors for a very reasonable price and they arrived on my doormat very quickly indeed. Top man, so he is.

I've seen this instead of the homepage a few times over the last couple of days. What is it?
