ONCE I dig that is OK I can begin.

Why don't you just use the mp3s?
Let me know if you plan I using the mp3s and I'll add all the modes - by the end of this week or sooner.

(if you check my past posts you will notice i began a thread ('i will understand modes if it kills me' about modes a year ago, and it is a great thread. I am sure i learnt, but I put guitar down for a year and thus feel I have forgotten a lot which I need to relearn about the whole modes thing. Not that I 'knew' it---you know what i mean)
OK so I am going to then use your recordings. If I have any questions I will of course ask. bascially though--as said in book, I am mapping the A-A notes on the string, no sharps or flats. Though I am at the stage where I am COUNTING the notes rather than calling them by the note names.

My understanding is the modal vamp is just a background to practice playing your modal lines on a single string.
Playing the modal lines on a single string is the excercise. You just use the modal vamp in the background while doing it.

Elixir,
The important thing is to get started. Fep has provided you with a few vamps.
I would suggest that you start with those.

Reading through itsall4you's post made me wonder,
What's the dif between a G7sus and a G11?

The lydian character is from the #4 which in F lydian is The B note - spend some time emphasizing that note to get your ear used to the lydian sound.

Here is G mixolydian.
Goodrick's chords which I was able to use in BIAB:
|G C/G | F/G C/G |

Keep practicing them tho, this isn't something you'll fully internalise on a single attempt.

I love those modal vamps. Cmaj7/Gsus9 and Dm69/Dmsus. So simple but so complete. I'm dying to know the 5 other modal vamps that are apparently in the book. Should I run out and buy it, or take a shot and figure them out on my own? I'm lazy, I want the book.

elixzer — learn to play some songs. Leave soloing over vamps 'til later.

Just to say, fep - when you wrote out the chords from the book for E Phrygian, you put the 3rd chord as D minor 7, it's actually an E minor 7 chord with the 5th (a B note) being doubled, interestingly at both 5ths at the same pitch

Here's A Aoelian BIAB mp3 backing track
Goodrick's chords which I was able to use in BIAB:
| Am | Fmaj7b5/A |Last edited by fep; 04-17-2010 at 01:47 PM.

Here's B Locrian BIAB mp3 backing track
As close as I can estimate Goodrick's second chord is an Em as the E and G notes are the longer held notes...
So Goodrick's chords which I used: | Bm7b5 | Em |

Thanks. At the moment I am really practising the Modes, up to nor D Dorian and E Phrygian, because I realize I must step up my game to even begin this book. I also have been studying some theory at this great site Ricci Adams' Musictheory.net
It is a great site, but if you know of any others that explain music theory any easier I am all ears lol
-
I have just found--by chance--this great link which just has to be linked up in this thread!
-
thx for the abercrombie link, been meaning to check utube for any tute vids by him, but got a ton of other stuff to do, too
-
i'm a little confused. Am i suppose to use the c ionian scale over the c ionian vamp and emphasize the c note? and the same for the other vamps?

Ionian--- 1 3 5 7 2 4 6
1 confirms the tonal center
3 establishes the possibility of a major chord
adding 5 confirms it as opposed to the possibility of augmented or mab5
7 establishes that it is not a dominant 7th
2 establishes that it's not the 6th degree of the harmonic minor
4 establishes that it's not lydian
6 establishes that it's not harmonic major

Hey fep! Working my way through "Advancing Guitarist" and happened across this post. Just wanted to say thanks for putting those vamps out here for everyone to use. Very cool!
