So, I could use some of those major scale candences, but they would just fall on different scale degrees? Cool. I guess I'll just play around and try to make up some chord progressions to solo over in different modes and see what works.
Using chords with more colour tones would probably make things sound more interesting as well I guess.
Anywhoo, thanks for the advice, but my first question, about putting together chords by counting up three but skipping every second note, that stuff works with modes, right? (I cant see why it wouldn't, I just wanna be sure)
