Every where I go on the web there's a multitude of players who want to "break out of the box" and stop playing only cliched, pentatonic blues licks. I thought some real life examples would speak volumes compared to an encyclopedia of modes. After all modes are useless unless you understand and actually HEAR the different tonalities that they offer. Also, THEORY DOESN'T TEACH YOU PHRASING!!! So to that end I thought it would be cool to post some examples of solos that aren't far from the blues but are definitely out of the box. Here's my contribution:
Peter Frampton "do you feel" Regardless of how much I hate this overplayed radio fodder there is alot to learn from its solo. This is mainly a very tasty dorian workout but there's some aeolian (b6) and mixolydian (major 3rd)thrown in. This is a GREAT lesson in playing outside the blues scale with only minor alterations to familiar territory. Anyone else? |

Great idea. Here's one to check out. "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band.
Toy Caldwell seems to play out of the D major pentatonic. The song is in G, so that would make it more of a D Mixolydian sound. "Sweet Home Alabama" does a similar thing.
