----🎸ABOUT THE GRAPHICS 🎸 ----
Your goal as a soloist is to create MELODY. Our neck diagrams give you the notes you can use to create that melody in REAL TIME.
🎸THE LAYERS
Think of the Diagrams as 3 layers of information:
1. PENTATONIC - The pentatonic scale works all the time and almost never changes, so this is the basic level.
2. MODE - The mode will always be the pentatonic PLUS 2 NOTES (modes have 7 notes). The mode can change depending on the chords (modal interchange).
3. CHORD - The chord layer shows you the notes of the chord changes (aka the HARMONY) in REAL TIME. Outgoing notes get smaller and fade out, incoming notes will fade in, so you know what notes to go for next.
🎸THE NOTE LABELS
The note labels tell us about the way the notes SOUND or BEHAVE in music.
R = ROOT - This is the MAIN NOTE. The key center, the tonal center, the BIG BOSS.
m2 = MINOR 2ND - a very dark, unstable note in a chord or scale, usually wants to go to the ROOT.
M2 = MAJOR 2ND - a happier, more stable color note, often added to chords for major flavor. I'm looking at you Jimi.
m3 = MINOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MINOR.
M3 = MAJOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MAJOR.
P4 = PERFECT 4TH - This note is not very stable in harmony so it is often considered a suspension, which means it wants to resolve to a chord tone like the 3RD.
D5 = DIMINISHED 5TH - 🤘🤘 The most unstable note of them all. Diabolus in musica 😈 The Devil. Also, the b5 BLUES NOTE!
P5 = PERFECT 5TH - This, along with the ROOT, is the MAIN SUPPORT of a chord or scale (think power chords 🤘🤘)
m6 = MINOR 6th - A very unstable, vibey minor sound. Usually wants to go to P5.
M6 = MAJOR 6TH - A VERY GROOVY major sound. This note gives the Dorian Mode its Dorian-ness!
m7 = MINOR 7TH - A very important note in dominant 7 and m7 chords. It's also a really great note in the MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE.
M7 = MAJOR 7TH - This note is found in MAJOR, HARMONIC and MELODIC MINOR scales. It sounds very DISSONANT against the ROOT. It's also the reason you hate soloing in the IONIAN mode.
The label numbers are names come from the MUSIC INTERVAL SYSTEM. Google it!
In the AlphaJams App (currently in Beta) you will be able to control the note labels, which layer, and how much of the neck you see!

Could you try to make some guitar play along jams inspired by Cactus (featuring Rusty Day)? Recommended songs for reference: One Way or Another, Parchman Farm, Evil, Big Mama Boogie Part 2 (Ultrasonic Boogie version), Oleo, Feel so Good, Rock & Roll Children, Rock & Roll Fool, and Restrictions.

[@nowyoushred]

Hell yeah!

[@lj8549]

What does the blue snowflake signify?

[@nowyoushred]

That is the symbol in the first version of Alphajams, yet unreleased, it turns on the flat five (d5) blues, note in the pentatonic scale, making it a blues scale.

[@talltales845]

Super similar to Wooden Ships by Crosby Stills and Nash

[@nowyoushred]

Yeah dude!

[@inspiredbyFU]

Can someone explain why soloing in d major over this works and sounds good? I don’t understand…

[@nowyoushred]

Because you are actually playing in E Dorian. E Dorian is the second mode of D major (Ionian), that means they are relative, they share the same notes. The reason that we say it is in a dorian is because the chords are based on E minor, not on D major.

[@nowyoushred]

I hope that makes sense

[@johnmaher5887]

The giveaway that it’s in E Dorian is that the root chord is minor, but the four chord is major (A7) instead of the normal minor that it would be if it was a typical E minor progression. Since Dorian is the mode starting on the second note of the major scale, you go down one whole step to D and play the D major scale. Just remember that this song is still in E Dorian, so you should emphasize that root note of E in your playing.

[@johnmaher5887]

I should add that the B section of this song is really more in G Major, so if you are playing E Dorian / D Major over the A section, try switching to G Major for the B section. It’s great and adds a lot of color and a distinct sound between the two sections.

[@floydboy75]

Not Buddy Miles as some of you think. This is clearly a jam of Breathe/Gilmour. The thumbnail literally has David Gilmour lol

[@nowyoushred]

I changed the thumbnail! It's actually based on Buddy Miles version of Down By The River by Neil Young which is definitely inspired by Breathe by Pink Floyd!

[@hitchhikingacrossthenetwor6447]

Breathe…

[@nowyoushred]

Definitely inspired by that!
