<-Warheart-> said:If you have a D Mixolydian lick and you want to play a diminished arpeggio next, you should figure out the key first.
OK you said D Mixolydian? That's the 5th mode of the major scale so if a D note is the 5th, a G note would be the key, you'd be in G major, right?
Now I said last time about starting on the #7th of the harmonic minor, but first you need to find the natural minor. In G major, the relative natural minor is Emin (E,F#,G,A,B,C,D,E). So if D is the 7th, D# much be the #7th (harmonic minor) so I THINK you'd base a diminished lick around that and move it up/down by 3 frets like last time.
I'm not positive on this like I was last time but it makes sense if you compare it with my other example.
Ahh ok that clears things up. Thanks man!
