Does anyone know what scale Duane uses? Besides the blues, I mean the major sounding scale.

Amazing, that's one of my favorite songs from them, I have that song on [Deluxe] Eat A Peach Elizabeth Reed is also a good one, to the guy downstairs.jackr wrote:I was working on Blue Sky the other day and I believe that was a mostly Major Pentatonic.
Of course he doesnt stay in one scale all the time.
Oh yes, Miles Davis admired Duane solos because of the use of the modes in themChina Cat wrote:duane uses dorian a lot. i think he goes modal more often than using pentatonic or blues

I Did Pee a Lot, Mix A Lot
Ionian (major)
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian
And no the sentence doesn't make a lot of sense, but it works.

They'll add the 4th to the pentatonic in Blue Sky and there's a nice little descending riff that has a 7th (D#) but mostly pentatonic. I usually play most of their major key stuff with the pentatonic plus the 4th.mkaufman wrote:+1jackr wrote:I was working on Blue Sky the other day and I believe that was a mostly Major Pentatonic.
