Hi all,
this has proberbly been asked here many times before. Got afairly straight forward Q that i think counts as a technique / theory one;


Ive started spending time learning about scales and modes and have got confused. If a song is in the key of B minor, and has a chord pattern something like Bm G D (proberbly as 'power chords') and i want to solo over it am i right in thinking the following:

1. notes from the Bm scale (melodic or harmonic) should work ove rany chord as long as they are carefully chosen with respect to the chord at that time

2. (and this is my main Q) The relative major of Bm is D, so if on the Bm chord i wibble around with notes from D Aeolian mode which starts on a B, and do the same for the G chord but using whicever mode starts on a G and for the D chord whichever mode of D starts on a D (the ionian?) will it all sound ok? Will i need to alter any other notes to make it fit in with the minor kind of sound? AS far as i can see the modes are still all major..

or is it 3. Do i need to take a minor scale (eg B melodic minor) and figure out the 7 modes for that and use them over the respective chords?

Please help - im having trouble figuring out what i need to learn to do!
