Scales
You think someone can give me the basics of scales and what are some scales to learn. Bands like Phish, I love, but their jams are so hard to play and I think that a lot of it is just the fact of experimenting with scales.

Very good! Always start from a point of understanding....
fish are indeed the ones with scales....
bonobos are the fuzzy ones... a pumpkin sticker for you...  howzaboutzinz the big modal jam thingee involving alternating between the IV and V chords??? sort of like in Steely Dan's Reelin' in the Years (key of D but during the soloing they pretty much just bop back and forth from G to A....D Major scale against the G chord is called G Lydian and against the A chord it's called A Mixolydian).....what happens in that Steely Dan tune when the actual guitar solo (the long one) starts? Well, he does SIMPLE (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!S*I*M*P*L*E!!!!!!!!!!) half-step bends that emphasize two of the defining notes of G Lydian - the note F# and the note C#...sprinkle in some nasty Amin pentatonic licks to contrast the majorish sound of the Lydian and Mixolydian and you are in business..... many fish have been reeled-in in mapleville since that tune came out all those years ago.... those simple little opening bends still sound good...... I think you've got mercury poisoning from all those fish, Daddy.... I do not and would you please open the window?????!?!?!?!?! It's 78.543654 degrees in here and that's way too warm for sleeping... I can't get out of Level 4

Re: Very good! Always start from a point of understanding....
Quote:
I'm talking about the 'regular' solo that starts after a couple verses...not all the intro soloing...not all the outro soloing... anyways, against the G chord...the soloing starts with xxxxx 14 bent to xxxxx 15 (F# bent to G) you'll also find right at the beginning of the solo xxxxx9 bent to xxxxx 10 (C# bent to D) heck, you'll even find xxxxx7 bent to xxxxx9 (B to C#) D major scale = D E F# G A B C# D and when played from G to G it is called G Lydian... G A B C# D E F# G the 'defining' notes of that scale are B, C#, F# (ask if you don't know what I mean.... the guitarist does some simple little bends to capture all those notes.... modes got a bum rap when metal turned into hair-speed-image-technique-MTV metal... all good players know how to target notes and say a lot with a little....EVEN if they don't know the 'correct' theoretical terms for what they are playing
