Jam, anyone?

This was way, way out of my wheelhouse. I tried Locrian but finally settled on Phrygian. I've never tried to play anything in either scale so there are quite few boo boos when my fingers naturally went into pentatonic mode. Not my best effort but it made me think which is always good.

Wheelhouse or not, you did it really well and I enjoyed listening to it. Psychedelic and freaky, very nice!

This is part of a longer progression that I've been fooling around with. It goes back and forth between the Dm and Eb with an emphasis on Dm to give it a tonal center, then it goes to Cm and Bb before returning to Dm. For the chord progression I was thinking phrygian but for the first half of the lead part I focused on the chord tones. The second half is more phrygian with some of the flat 2nd.

My wife and I have been binging Vikings on the History channel. The brooding tone of the track seemed to fit the grey, rainy tone of the series. I had visions of Viking ships in the fog.

This is the full chord progression, or something like it. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it.

I like that a lot, it needs heavy sections so don't be shy to turn up the gain!

Use it as a intro or bridge, i think with heavy sections will work great does not have to be fast, you can do Sabbath type slow heavy.

Hmmmm... That's not a bad idea... Thanks! I'll experiment.

I really like that. I might stay on the Bb for another bar. It seems to resolve there and wants to stay a little longer. I can see it as a movie soundtrack. Very moody.

After the Bb try holding a Gm7 for one bar to resolve back to the Dm. Lots of room to play with this.

Here is a quick version of some of my spin on your song AT.
With a bit more time, I think I can improve my sloppy playing.
You have a kick ass piece right there, please give a little listen to it’s ending from your ending.

Great spin on it.

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Great spin on it.

Thank you KB
I thought your playing on it was great.
I was wanting to come as the heavy section.
It’s a great piece of music....
Cheers

Damn! That sounds great Mitch!

Thanks Brother
I think I can do better, but my problem is I have nothing to play along with, I tried to get the feeling of your playing, then put a slow grind to it,...
Thank you for the compliment my friend...
Thanks
Mitch

That is lovely! You made the progression sound good!

The progression is good. Finding the notes that fit in with it was based on the chord tones, not scales, then the tune sort of suggested itself. It's folky of course...
