Mixolydian vs Lydian Dominant (5 shapes)
Both useful to improvise over dominant chords with a different color, those two scale have six note in common. The following diagrams are useful to compare the two scales on the same fretboard portion in order to switch easily between the two. 👇👇👇

The 1 2 5 7 chord structure
The 1 2 5 7 structure is one of the most beautiful modern-sounding structures, used by pop and jazz musicians, and it can work for a variety of chord qualities.
Here are a few interesting voicings and inversions.

With GuitarLayers you can automatically obtain all the arpeggios that harmonize a given scale.
This allows you both to play the scale in a non linear-way and to hit chordal target notes inside the scale.👇👇👇

I have the program and I really like it. I use it to make charts with each note with a different color. Is there a way to set each note a certain color for all charts without having to redo it for each note for every chart?
F Dominant pentatonic over Cm7
This works to play a minor pentatonic the with 6th instead of the 7th on a minor chord. Try these shapes on a Cm7 vamp. 😉

How do you use them? I mean I can play those in a linear way but what can I do with them besides that.
Overlapping scales in the same fretboard portion:
the key factor to improvise effectively and naturally over chord changes! 😉
This is a great time to get the right tools to start 😉

From D Dorian to G Super Locrian
two very common scales to play with, on a 2 5 1 progression.
😎😎😎
Three Notes-per-String, Four Notes-per-String...
Custom Notes-per-String Shapes! 😎
Chromatic Scale, two Octaves
Try to play it, up and down from A to A, the best way you can and then try to find other alternative fingerings and shapes to work on. 😉
The Dominant Pentatonic
Dominant pentatonic is a widely used scale to add some different flavour to the minor pentatonic.Among the possibilities, it can be used, of course, in a bluesy context but also over specific chords. For example, you can use the C dominant pentatonic on a blues in G, or on either over a C7 or a Gm7 chord. Here five basic shapes and four very interesting 2-3 Notes-Per-Strings symmetric shapes.

There's a lot of harmonic leeway over Dominant 7/mixolydian harmony; from the woozy West Side blues of Magic Sam to the mellow Memphis rock-a-billy of Scotty Moore to the snarly proto-metal of Link Wray.

Major Triad and Inversions on Two Strings
Although it is not so common to learn arpeggios of triads on two strings, by combining these building blocks we can obtain almost any more complex shape.
Here we have arpeggios with 1-2 Notes-Per-Strings (Red) and 2-1 NPS (Blue) on five string sets.

Seven shapes, 3 Notes-Per-String. Each Shape... all 7 Modes! 😉
Each shape, works for all seven modes. Every mode has its own degrees map.
You can hear the right sound of each mode by playing these shapes over a bass pedal with the same root of the mode’s root. Different shapes will sound identical as they contain the same notes.
In addition you can ear the characteristic sound of each mode by placing its tensions on the strong beats of the measure so they are not perceived as passing tones and loose their harmonic value.

This shape is one distributed like a bullets in a revolver with infinite chambers and rounds... It is the same... You just shoot and empty chamber by chamber...
Make one with the arpegios, target notes as well and its gonna be perfect 🧛♂️
You got it Right 👌👍
Very useful. Thank you.

G Major Blues Scale
Despite its minor counterpart the Major Blues Scale is probably a bit less used. When mastered it produces a very bluesy elegant sound perfect for many major harmonic progressions, especially when it is tastefully combined with the Minor Blues Scale.

Wherever the major chord is? Just go back 3 frets and play pentatonic minor. Done. 🙂
Its just the pentatonic scale with a b5 as a passing tone.
Will this come to android? This is exactly the app I've been looking for to work my scales
So it is basically just a major pentatonic with a passing minor third..?
#9 or +9
This seems Keith richardsy
