Well if every note was the same note as a major scale, it wouldnt be a lydian. and if you're worried about playing some note that isnt in a major scale, then you're saying you cant play any other modes except for the major scale mode. If you played a D mixolydian over a piece in D, it will work fine, because a mixolydian has all the same notes as the major scale, but with a flattened seventh. you could mostly get away with that.(see bit at end) To get a backing for a piece to have modes played over it, you use the notes of the mode to construct the chords. In C major the notes are C D E F G A B C. constructing the chords goes like this: G...A....B...C....D...E...F E....F...G....A...B....C...D C...D...E.....F...G...A...B...C That gives you Cmaj, Dmin, Emin, Fmaj, Gmaj, Amin,Bdim Using C mixolydian, the scale is C D E F G A Bflat C. the chords are made up like this: G...A...Bflat...C...D........E....F E....F...G.......A....Bflat...C...D C...D...E.......F.....G.......A...Bflat...C As you can see, this changes three of the chords, and the resulting chords are: Cmaj, Dmin, Edim, Fmaj, Gmin, Amin, Bflat maj Now, when you are playing a mode over a backing for a major scale, it sometimes wont work. In the case of an Aeolian mode, it is a natural minor, and won't work at all. You could get away with using the mixolydian mode over a major scale backing, if you avoided making clashes. In C mixolydian, again, if you played the flattened seventh on the root chord, you would make a C7 chord, which would sound nice, however if you played the Bflat over a G major chord, it would clash badly. Hope I haven't confused you.

that would be quite high i think, because being about 200000th out of 6 billion is a high ranking. i dont know how many people out of the 6 billion play guitar, but its becoming increasingly popular if 10 million people played guitar, you would be better than 80% of the world. lol. im not saying you arent, but you were trying to make out that you were bad by giving yourself a high ranking. his number is near 2 million. Not 2 hundred thousdand. SOrry....i did mean 2 million. if you check what i said youl see: 2million out of 10 million is better than 80% of the guitar players, and thats what i said. sorry. il edit the post to avoid further confusion, but you're right.

i say playability

i say it matters more how well it plays. you aren't making some 80s cheese metal video with it. im gonna make a poll on that

the guitarist in that video is the guitarist in my avatar

thats 11 curtis unfortunately

thanks. il check that out now.

rock in rio was a live one(amazing liev one) but i see what you mean anyway.

i saw them in december too.....where did you see them? they totally kicked ass. the poor funeral for a friend werent given a chance

nice one curtis. and a song doesnt have to have a solo. just play a cool melody or something

so brian may is just one better than you? i hope you're joking

he didnt ask any questions

but its so much fun

hehe. Kerry King just slides about, and picks the slide, and calls it a chromatic run

and in general, maiden have released more great albums. you heard of maiden's classic number of the beast, and you heard of metallica's classic master of puppets(which borrowed artwork for former album i reckon) then you hear of maiden's classic powerslave, and you dont have any more metallica albums to call classic, unless you count the black album, which was the beginning of the end for metallica. then maiden have another classic, which had 4 top 10 singles from it, seventh son of a seventh son. what do metallica have? load? garage inc(an album of covers)? dont say about how kill em all and ride the lightening were classics, because i left out a ton of great maiden albums. and then what good albums have metallica put out since 2000? none... i.e. St Anger. what great albums have Maiden put out since 2000? three: Brave new World, Rock in Rio, Dance of Death end of story

do you live in your own house?

oh no, there's something very slow, and walking in to walls coming towards me yelling insults out of time!!!!! (that means its a bassist) hehe

excellent. ive seen reviews of those shows.

hehe, thought you might notice that subtle comment of mine well.....i thought you wouldnt TBH (thats to be honest, BTW) (thats by the way) ....now im in for it

lol. i was joking. i was going to wait until curtis replied, but oh look, you've ruined it, lol joke..

once you know where to look, its really very visible.

lol, are you a bassist, silvertone??

yeah, well said drak

in my opinion IMHO : in my humble opinion either humble or honest...
