The key of noodle?

[anuske9]

I stay away from open notes as my main guitar's not intonated. Watch the Marty Friedman vs Paul Gilbert videos... In certain ones he talks about improvising.

I always looked as keys are either major or minor ? Scale names are not keys in my neck of the woods. If you say you dig the B Phrygian...thats a mode based off the 3 note of the key G major scale (realtive E minor)

Generally speaking, the major scale is used as a basis for everything. But, using the minor, aka the aeolian mode, as an alternative reference point is no different than using phrygian, because they are both consistent with a major scale (G in this case). I'd argue that the only reason the word minor is used like it is because it's such a common variation of the major scale.

I see scales as the exact opposite. I wouldn't consider the B Phrygian as a G Major starting two full steps up but as an alternative to the minor scale when playing in that key. I see it as a minor with a flat 2nd.

Where would you play it?

well I look at the B Phrygian as a mode based off the G major scale so key of G officially but since B phyrgian mode is minor mode I just roll with key of E minor for that.

the B phrygian mode contains the exact same notes as GM/Em. Take the major scale pattern with the G note as the root and keep hte pattern exactly the same but start on the B note and play it to the octave....thats the B phrygian and its the useds hte same notes of the G Major scale

If I read it right, that's why I asked him where he played it... If he played it from B, it's the same as G major. but if he replaces E minor with B Phrygian that would be interesting, because like he said it's the same but with a flat 2nd...

My point exactly! Of course it all depends on the chord progression your playing over but I like to use modes to add a flavour to a scale instead of playing in the same key. To clarify, I would use an E phrygian to accent some notes over a chord structure in E that implies a minor or harmonic minor like feel, rather than going from E to E using e-f-g-a-b-c-d over an A minor progression. It works for me to add some of the modal notes especially in a heavy song with a limited power chord progression like say E5-F5-D5 just to add some variety.

I don't know if I'm expressing this the right way or if this approach is correct or not, I'm self taught so what do I know?

Seems like I play in Em most of the time. I know it easily all over the neck. I'm trying to break out and play in some other keys but most backing tracks tend not to stray. I'm liking Gm and C at the moment and trying to get a better feel for them in more positions on the neck.
Playing arpeggios is soomething I approach more based on what chord I'm playing over instead of the key.

Minor pentatonics, for me.

in Dm..

Umm ..I invent my own modes and scales as I go. I'm working on the pentecostal scale as heard in my song "Scapegoat", and diminsished runs, that are more diminished than need be...played in 3rds , 4ths, 5ths, sometimes 7ths and octaves X 2...or 3...with a twist of lime.

Oh, and I like to "ping" everything I do, because I can...really, super fast.

[shredmonster]

My fav is Em cause of the open strings. Am second. If I want to sound bad ass - F# minor is the most rockin' bad ass sounding key if you ask me.

I also play Bm. Those are my 4 favs. But I have jammed in F, A# - whatever.

A person should practice chromatically on the guitar so you can jam in any key. Takes a long time to do this but well worth the effort. I can play in any key and feel comfy - C, C#, G - does not matter.

Some Dm, but most open E, and Am. And damn near everywhere else.
After a couple of bars of that, I'll go into mixoydian phygrian, etc., but I
really have no clue where I'm going with most of those.

Yes..my open E is D-.

On my 7 string, my Open E is E, but I have a B- string too...it goes like "chug..chug..chug..chug".. something like that.

I'm writing a song called "2B or not 2B"..which is in B and B+.
