There still seems to be some interest in stuff I've recorded, so here's another one.

A couple of months ago somebody put this jam track out there to use the Lydian mode. I know what modes are but have never worked with them specifically.

So I pulled out my pentatonics found a note or two outside that worked and gave it a whirl.

I struggled with it and felt like I couldn't find the groove. Initially I really really disliked this. I tagged it crap :).

A month or so later I listened to it again and wondered what the heck I was thinking at the time.

What I think makes this track interesting is the constant tension and release. It also put me completely outside my comfort zone and made me think differently as I played. The stock licks went out the window :).

Anyway, hope you enjoy...
