scale modes - Lesson 6 - E Aeolian w/tablature - solo lead guitar

This is kind of a special mode in that it is the relative minor to the root. This is the position where the famous pentonic minor is played for this key (Gmaj). So (depending on the other chords played) add the notes from this scale to enhance your pentonic scale.I am posting the main modes of the Major scale and then when I have the 7 diatonics posted I will show you how they fit together and how you can use them to play lead over the whole fret board.All modes will be in the key of G major.Modes can be shifted over a key for neat changes; however, for simplicity and learning I will not be changing keys for the modes (i.e. teaching all the modes with the same root note).The positions I play these modes in, all belong to the same key, which means you can play any of the modes (forms) and they will sound good in the key of G major. You can experiment with other key combinations on your own.Here are the modes, root notes and chords(triads) I will use:ionian G Gmajdorian A Amphrygian B Bmlydian C Cmajmixolydian D Dmajaeolian E Emlocrian F# F#dimNOTES:Don't worry too much about the names of the modes, but work on accuracy and positions in relation to each other.Use alternate picking and practice accuracy over speed, the speed will come.Although the tab only shows accending, the notes are the same when descending. Some scales are different when descending than accending, but these are the same.Practice, practice, practice.
