Exploring Aeolian Changes

Published: Sept. 9, 2009, 3:41 p.m.

b'Recently, our ongoing modal journey has drawn us into the land \\nof harmony. In the previous Back Track installment (Dorian Grooves, Sept. \\n\\u201900 GP), we saw how notes from the Dorian mode can be combined to create Im, \\nIV, Vm, and bVII triads; we also discovered that progressions built from \\nthese chords will support improvised Dorian lines. The trick is to play the \\nDorian mode starting from the Im\\u2019s root. We\\u2019ve explored a similar \\nrelationship between the Mixolydian mode and chords built from its notes \\n(Digging Modal Harmony, Aug. \\u201900 GP). In that lesson, we set up a \\nprogression using Mixolydian\\u2019s native I, IV, Vm, and bVII triads and then \\nsoloed over the chord sequence. Now it\\u2019s time to investigate Aeolian harmony.\\nThis lesson includes Power Tab and is featured on the following CD compilations: BLUES U, ACOUSTIC U.
