Mixolydian Savanna (Magic Carpet Tour)

Ocean of Aeolian (Magic Carpet Tour)

Here’s a much requested backing track to the Ocean of Aeolian from the Guitar Shred Show game Magic Carpet Tour.

Calm down with C-Major

This is solo backing from Creatures of the Midnight (“The way of the Exploding Guitar”). Very nice and mellow track to improvise over I’d say. C-major scale works beautifully over the whole progression.

Mode changes: F Lydian – Ab (G#) Lydian

Here’s a new mode change to play with. It’s a nice modulating tone, the changes between two lydian modes in different keys, F and A flat. This jam will get you flying!

Mode changes: B Aeolian – Bb Lydian

Here’s a very nice backing track for soulful solo improvisations. Thanks to the looping machine, one can enjoy jamming this for hours. And maybe some more. But before we begin let’s take a look at the actual modes we are using here.

Mode changes: A Mixolydian – G Dorian

Good! We’re flying high again with the Magic Carpet. This time we will expreriment with some mode changes. The loop starts with A mixolydian mode and then it changes into G dorian. And loop we go!

Mode changes: A Mixolydian – A Dorian

Now more mode changes! The loop starts with A mixolydian mode. Then it changes into A dorian. The only difference of these two modes is the third note, C versus C#. Mixolydian is major mode while dorian is a minor mode. And loop we go!
