Not so much a post as a concrete slab....

I know what modes are, but in 50+ years of playing I've never needed to play one. I know some of what I play could be analysed as being Ionian or Mixolydian or Dorian, but I've never needed to know that, or reference that, when I play. I just pluck a minor scale, or a major scale with a flattened seventh, or (usually) just play around the melody and add passing notes or "colour" notes that I like the sound of.

I think modes are a step too far to be worrying about at the moment, just getting my head around the 5 positions, and being able to incorporate them into a solo, learning where to start depending on the key, and following the chords, is more than enough at the moment

I was also of that mindset until I made a loop that was vaguely reminiscent of FZ's Black Napkins... C#m and Dmaj.
The C#m pentatonic scale didn't quite fit as it has no D and Dmaj pentatonic has no C#, which is when i realised that i had to think about modes in order to play along to those two chords.

I found this resource useful: https://www.all-guitar-chords.com/scales

*edited to add the # to the C

The good Lord, our saviour Lemmy Kilmister, may his immortal soul rock the ages, was a massive Beatles fan.

Apparently, the sculptor who made THIS is a massive Lemmy fan!

A show/duo of songs, that I've not heard played by this band before!

Plus, 'the Duck' himself (Kris Kristofferson) introducing!

Poor old Brian Setzer struggling badly with arthritis and is struggling to play at all now,

He had tinnitus, and all the awkwardness that held for a composer/guitarist

Had a tidy up.

That’s a lot of bottom-end in one room!

There is another out of frame.

Been stuck indoors all day due to the weather so sussed out how to play Battle of Evermore on the mandolin.
