Lydian Chromatic System? No man, but it sounds very cool! Mike, you might be just the guy to ask about Melodic Minor Modes, which has been an ongoing thing for me with bop and jazz stuff. Any tips on on how to apply them in a practical manner? I've been finding some useful licks and such based on the 4th and 5th modes of the scale (the Mix#4, and I believe the Mix b6th). I understand these modes are used extensively to spice up blues and jazz, but my theory is limited. I guess I paid attention more on some days than others! I realize that they can be used in many more applications than simply "Minor" tunes. What's the deal?
Regards, TJ
