...

so when daddy and the family went out,they stayed together and followed his
rules.The kids listened,mum made sure they stayed in line and Grandpa talked loudly
every once in a while.When people asked them for a resume it was always...My name
is ------ and I do ---- and I love -----,however all the ---- were lines coined by
daddy.This was the way it was in daddy's world.Their names and identities were
unique but when they stayed and travelled together the data that they put out was
the same so as to make daddy happy.They lived in harmony like this.
Now take daddy's rule book to be the major scale.And this is THE only syntax we
have to follow. Lets always take just the C Major scale which I have told you to
plot on a fretboard diagram.
The family has Daddy= Cmaj7, Mummy= Fmaj7, Grandpa= G7 (gets altered when he is
unwell),Child1 =Dm7,Child2=Em7
Child3 =Am7,Lil autistic sister=Bm7b5.
Let us take a random family member and say Child1 wants to say something to daddy
and the rest and not be rude. She will be speaking with the notes
D,E,F,G,A,B,C.Always starting with the note that is her name in this case
Child2=Dm7 so,the note D.
If it were Grandpa asking for a sweet and hoping to get it he would ask using
G,A,B,C,D,E,F. As grandpa=G7.Please now understand that this is the mode of speech
to be in daddy's good books.
So what do we do to understand how it sounds when say Grandpa speaks? We play
Grandpa's chord as the background sound...and over that we play G,A,B,C,D,E and F.
We can play these notes in sequence and out of sequence but preferably starting
with G,grandpas's ID in this case.This sound will be the essence of Granpa's
speech.The notes played over the chord IS that sound.
The Ancient Greeks gave these sounds names and they were called modes.The names
were twisters and made people in our generation feel that they had to be Greek or
mathematicians to understand. They are just names NOTHING else.The sound is what I
want you to get.
Play the speeches of Child1,Child2 etc just like you did Grandpa's all over the
neck always starting with the note that is the ID of that family member.You will
hear how cool they sound.
This family is a family with no real gender or age differentials. They are people
with name tags 'Daddy','Mummy' etc. They can switch tags anytime in a song.There
can be 2 Mummy's it could be all autistic people in a family,in some really weird
songs....but yeah get the drift.
Moral of the story: G Mixolydian are the notes of C major, D Dorian are the notes
of C major and so on.Will do the name associations later. C Dorian will be Child1
of Daddy Bb and so on. If you imbibe these sounds your knowledge will be
unshakeable I promise you :).
