[@TheOnegaiSHIMASU]

So good man! Thanks.

[@homeworldmusic]

Teaching myself keyboard and this made such a perfect background for jamming with a synth lead. Thank you!

[@QuistJam]

Awesome 🙌

[@joeloller4689]

That must be something from another world. I played keyboard on my highschool because i was boring af, and the sounds u can take off that is really psychedelic.

[@jsr7599]

I have to skip your intros or else my stuff just sounds like boop boop beep bop or I should just learn more. Great inspiration anyway.

[@oxmodius]

lmao. So true.

[@jfuck5438]

lol I have to skip them to because otherwise I'll have his melody stuck in my head for that backing track.. He's great and his backing tracks are the bomb but I have to skip the intros.. He should just have one section of backing tracks and another section of just him.

[@IoIocaust]

Just play the same notes that you do in E minor, but move the standard pentatonic shape to the 5th fret, and try and focus on the Cminor arpeggiated notes to land on, and go by F# alot to emphasize the lydian mode

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

@@IoIocaust Not sure about the Cminor bit. The chord's got a major third. That being said, a neat pentatonic trick is to play a Bm pentatonic scale over the jam. You'll get the major 7th AND the raised 4th. Those are the flavorful notes to me in that context.

[@IoIocaust]

@@user-oy7gz5bf2h I use the Aminor pentatic over it and also added an A# like I did here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6CQaGyGjrKUiNU

[@krispynachos9980]

this is an awesome track. I came up with so many cool lydian melodies, lines, shred sections. Love your work

[@Jinseng]

this backing track opened my mind to the dreaminess of lydian thanky

[@QuistJam]

Awesome!!!!

[@JohnDoe-gk7ok]

For those who really like the Lydian sound, read George Russell’s book on the Lydian Chromatic Concept. Basically, the flowing quality of the Lydian is no coincidence. It turns out that you can actually move up or down a perfect 5th using any note in the scale and still remain on key. On the other hand, if you move up a perfect 5th from the 7th degree of the major scale, you will end up playing the #4, which the scale does not include. The perfect 5th is the strongest resolution, based on the natural workings of overtones.

[@kristobass1.319]

Exellent is great for jamming and stammering some Riffs in the style of the inimitable and regretting Frank Zappa ... RIP

[@JohnFriberg]

This was an awesome workout for a jamband/Zappa-ish/Vai-esque vibe. Thanks!

[@QuistJam]

:)))

[@guitarjournal2958]

Very nice jam track. Finally starting to grasp the idea of different modes. Thank you man. Hope to share like you one day.

[@anthonyz9197]

That was so great. Thank you so much. I didn't read the description before jamming and about thirty seconds in I realized it was a Zappa (RDNZL/Inca Roads) jam and that made me so happy. You are awesome!

[@frankie.d1127]

Dude, I can’t stop playing over this!!! Thank you so much man. You are awesome!!!!

[@QuistJam]

Awesome!!! Thanks and that's great to hear brother :)

[@yourguitarpal]

@@QuistJam Same here, you opened a new world for me! Forever grateful!

[@dadpans]

I like all your tracks! This one is my undeniable favorite so far! I can really dig in to lydian!!

[@QuistJam]

🙏🙌

[@pigno]

I just pretended to be Frank Zappa for fourteen minutes. Awesome vibe, loved it.

[@lesliel1182]

Thanks again man. That solo was really beautiful Quist.

[@tpap6827]

Quist Has the best solos As far as a guy who can casually improvise incendiary blues and modal solos effortlessly. I have yet to see a modern blues rock player (other than Bonamassa or Eric Jonson or Gales or Trucks with his energy and Inspiration in the context of modern blues rock or any shredder other than Guthrie Govan who does as well. Andy Wood, Tom Bucovac, Quayle, Asato,etc he is in that elite group of new blood that are some of the best ever. He sounded like he was playing a polished Satriani solo and he just ripped it with the freedom few players can manage.phenomenal

[@christopherllufrio5321]

This is my favorite backing track .. absolutely awesome to play and learn to

[@lewisbirkett4428]

Really helpful. I started playing all of the modes in the key, really opened it up and got out of just one box

[@QuistJam]

awesome bro!!

[@blues62751]

Jacob, you are the king of KZbin jams, brother! Stu

[@QuistJam]

thank you brother, have fun!!

[@cobrastriesand7693]

Yeah haven’t played in years. This track is so much fun.

[@sheriahmad]

Equivalent of raag Yaman. Basically while going higher starts from B, skip C, and while coming back down stop at C.

[@trevettmccandliss3438]

Very Frank Zappa. I dig it!

[@wetsponger]

I couldn't get "Inca Roads" out of my head after playing to this one!

Old Neal schon jam

[@CillzSolo]

absolute jam and butter

[@sitgesstudio]

Thank you

[@NeilTurnbull007]

There needs to be a 'Really like' for this! Good work.

[@conor4142]

KZbin used to have ratings instead of likes/dislikes, out of 1 to 5 stars. I fuckin miss that shit...

[@NeilTurnbull007]

@@conor4142 I agree, that system needs to come back . I can`t understand how a 'dislike' can have any meaningful input by itself. I think there is always a place for genuine constructive criticism though.

[@neiladams2190]

Wow how cool my ' favourite scale.. Play by the best.... 💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@blakegilliam8223]

Loving it.. 23 forward is epic

[@daviregis126]

Amazing intro solo!

[@apophispnw5717]

Learning to solo in Lydian is like speaking a new language you didn’t know you knew in your subconscious. Once you learn where the notes that fit are it’s like a whole different alphabet on the neck at your disposal you know how to put together to form words.

[@iainthompson6371]

If you're loving this track it is definitely worth checking out Zappa's Inca Roads for even more inspiration.

[@AaronB99999]

Cool, you can play any note on the 5th or 7th fret and sound like a genius :)

[@m_e_t_a_p_h_o_r]

Nice work... my fingers never stopped

[@TheChinchilla15]

Best Track evr

[@vetrix]

You know its fire when you got dudes hopping up at 3AM to jam to it.

[@james-sf5yc]

I love playing to this track but....its about your solo improv at the start, How am i supposed to top that coming right out of the gate first thing.....man!!! Nice job!

[@asusd6161]

You make me sick.... in such a good way. I feel like a toddler trying to walk ....and you are the flash.

[@OsDCruxer]

I get a strong Steve Vai vibe from this one

[@TheTimbokick]

This is so fresh it puts downy to shame!

[@El-Yordi]

Frank is in da house

[@iainthompson6371]

Lydian is my favourite mode I've decided. Great track as always maestro.

[@QuistJam]

AWESOME! Thank you

[@SixStringStudies]

Great playing as usual! Also nice track, love it when the pad comes in. 👍🏻

[@QuistJam]

:))))

[@billymays495]

Lydian has some nice rock songs I'm pretty sure Inca roads is in Lydian mostly and also zoot allures two of his best songs.

[@QuistJam]

Absolutely!!!!

[@krispynachos9980]

mate any Satch or Vai, you can hear the Lydian straight away

[@Delereyus]

really great track and one of the best intro solos you've done yet! and i've heard most of them =)

Great stuff, lot of fun with this one. :)

[@jazznotes3802]

Fantastic backing track

[@Yggdrasilen]

I sounds like Buck Dharma in Blue Öyster Cult. So I read this: Buck Dharma is known for using mixolydian mode, phrygian scales and he dared to get out of the pentatonic blues scale which most 70s guitarists kept using.

[@pplo]

great solo & track ! thanks and congrats!

[@QuistJam]

🙏🙌

[@88hammers89]

When you make that intro , your bridge is screaming very much like j. beck and I should have watched you sooner as JB was to slikidy and difficult to watch and i can tell you were inspired by him. It's not your white strat, it's the way you play!!!! AWESOME ;)

[@stuj]

Love your work man! Great backings!

[@rafetizer]

Hey you can totally sing the first part of the verses to "Cup of Tea" by The Verve Pipe to this. Cool jam as per the usual!

For some reason I can never hear Lydian as Lydian I hear it as aeolian When I hear this chord progression I’m like “Resolve to the iii!” Cuz I hear it as “VIb VIIb” And I want it to resolve to the I chord I mainly hear it like this cuz there’s not much Lydian music out there Even in jazz, there’s only brief moments lol

[@vinq8621]

[@Cruma1]

both huge users of lydian mode. =)

[@meteor09]

Rookie question here if anyone can help. Is what makes this lydian rather than major the fact that the chords are Cmajor and Dmajor (rather than Cmajor and Dminor which would place it in C major)?

[@BackingTrackLab]

Nice track mate!

🙏
