Dont mention the M - word but what note in the scale would give a good rock sounding bed to a solo!! Say Im playing in G Major! Instead of strumming G behind the solo, what would be a good note instead? Im talking modes! but i dont wana know the name! Just say "oh yeah the 5th note in the scale gives it a rocky feel" or something! So what ever key im in I can then use the exact chord that gives it a modal texture or whatever!
Cheers!
