noticingthemistake mentioned harmonic quality of playing C major over an F major chord as opposed to over the C major chord, this being an example of a mode. Well Im saying that when i write songs i do this without caring how it would be classed. I would never dream of playing my C major solo over just the C major chord!
I know chord forumalas and many scales, Im not speaking from ignorance, i just question how necessary it is to know what mode your playing, when all that matters is what sounds good!
The mixo something mode is one Slash my hero has used a few tmes, are you guys saying he picked that mode as opposed to it just turning out like that? beacuse i get the feel the old slash master aint aware of modes as such!
