Modal Mixture is the use of multiple scales that share a common tonal center. Traditionally, we only use modes of the Major Scale but in the jam track video that accompanies this, I include other non-modal options as well.
Even if some of this stuff is too advanced for you, I encourage you to turn on the track and play along with the notes on the screen- even simple melodies and movements can sound very pleasing over this chord progression.

Always throwing that shade at Locrian. Feels bad man.

[@Sighdafekt]

ScifiSaints ikr. my buddy is an amazing progressive metal guitarist and he said he’s never uses locrian on anything. he plays phrygian dominant almost always. either way locrian ♮2, or even a super locrian bb7 always has a place in my music.

[@markusleb]

Yes, please do something fun with Locrian for a change... ;)

[@benlink202forever]

Locrian is restrictive but it definitely has its place.

[@blurb8p]

Yeah I was thinking the same, and decided to experiment to see if I could find a nice way to utilize it. Seems like Lydian to Locrian could work very well since they both have the tritone above the root and the shift from major to diminished in the root chords is also pretty tasty. That flat 2nd in Locrian is also always fun. On the other hand, playing in Dorian #11 instead of Locrian over the diminished chord also sounds super cool.

[@heartache5742]

locrian - phrygian - minor modulation would be really sick honestly

I played guitar for over 15 years, and did my best to learn by ear. I got so good at one point I was able to transcribe solos from dimebag Darrell randy Rhodes by ear. But I could never tell you much about music theory, modal interchange or anything like that. I always had my own theories about how things worked, and this video really just blew me away. How did I never venture out? Learn this stuff at a younger age? I always thought music theory was too expensive growing up or that everything that I wanted to learn would eventually come to me either through practicing or watching old guitar tutorials on how to play.

I've learned more about music from two months of watching this channel than I have in almost 20 years of being alive.

You should definitely write more full-length songs that we can buy.

This reminds me of what I call the Radiohead chord change (I'm aware they aren't the only band to use it but it's literally everywhere in their discography). Where you either change the "gender" of the chord. Example: in Creep the last 2 chords are both C but it changes from C major to C minor. Or when you start with a minor chord and resolve down one semi tone but with a major chord.
