Many people have been writing about this....I have a question....do you
understand anything about theory and how to apply it to your guitar?
If not, that would be a great place to start....
Check this out:
C Major... C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C theres a formula for the note layout..
W-W-H-W-W-W-H-W
W=wholestep ( Wholetone)
H=halfstep (semi-tone)
Now lets take a look at the triad layout for this :
I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii'
What this means is I= Major IV=Major V=Major
ii=minor iii=minor iv=minor
iv'=dimminised
Now lets make sense of all this' I'll try to lay it out as simply as
possible.
1
C
I=Major triad 1 = C Major
2
D
ii=minor triad 2= D minor
3
E
iii=minor triad 3= E minor
4
F
IV=Major triad 4= F Major
5
G
V=Major triad 5= G Major
6
A
iv=minor triad 6= A minor
7
B
iiv'=dimminished triad 7= B dimminished
Those are the triads for C Ionnian
look on this site for the modes section and find Ionnian...
Apply the above info to get your Major scales....then apply the triad
formula to find useable chords....
I hope this helps a bit

What he said is right, but don't bother learning all that stuff if you
don't already know it. Take your high school theory class if you want to
get that good at it. For now, learn all your scales, and find a chord
scale relationship chart. Now, figure out the chords in your song, and find
what scales fit over them. Then just make sure that the notes that you are
playing over each individual chord fit in the appropriate scale

Theres no guessing when you apply the theory I mentioned and use your
modes...its really not hard to learn.....start simple but think big.....
:rockout:
AND BY ALL MEANS !!!!! LEARN ALL THAT YOU CAN!!!
I cant stress this enough to all young players...knowledge, knowledge,and
more knowledge.....
Dont let anyone tell you different...

| I know some guitar theory (including what you laidout) and most of the
scale patterns (the ones I don't I have written out for reference).
Basically, I was wondering where to stick a solo in a mostly chords song
and which scale pattern to use for the E-D-A chord progression (should be A
right?). Note that this is all major. ____________________
