Every time I really try to put theory together I get stuck and fall back on what I know, which is fairly limited.
Anyway, I am trying to apply playing modes to the chord changes.
I was messing around in B and stumbled on a progression of B - D - A - G that I wanted to solo over. Using B as the key signature I realized I had a 1 - b3 - b7 - b6 thing going on and saw that is Aeolian. What I did not do is look deep into what each chord should be in terms of major/minor....so just assume vanilla 5th power chords.
I think I could stay in B aeolian and things worked just fine, but what about using a matching mode for each chord? In other words, while the B is behind me I'm in B aeolian, while D is behind be if I shift that shape to D it starts not sounding right and the same for A and G. What am I missing?
I can do this with a simple blues progression using your standard pentatonic shapes so that my leads imply the chord changes. I just can't get outside of that and its high time I get this stuff together dang it.
