OK, perhaps my question wasn't totally clear.

For example, you have a chord progression of, um, i dunno, Am, C, E and F (i think that's the key of C). What notes would make up a C Dorian solo over that progression? C Lydian? C etc.?

E.g. let's say I play:


e--------------------------------------------------
b--------------------------------------------------
g--------------------5---7b9r7------5--------------
d------------5---7--------------7-------7----------
a----5---7-----------------------------------------
e--------------------------------------------------


what mode is this in? how would I change it to another mode?

Since the modes are simply the major scale but with different starting and ending points, how is that relevant to a solo, where you have different starting and ending notes for each run, and where you use all the notes in the scale?


Could you please name some famous solos and the modes that they're in? Maybe that'll clear it up a bit for me...



[And Christoph, I just realized that I was confused about your signature. I mixed it up with "Go by brooks" by Leonard Cohen. Boy, do I feel embarrassed.]
