Locrian, Dnuos, your conversation reminds me of my bf and his brother talking about their passion for music.

They consider the works of Satriani and Vai to be two of their major songwriting influences. :)

Dnuos, if you haven't seen this already, here is a decent article on modes if you are interested.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

(and to conundrum-) And how could I forget about Satriani and Vai? :( I love their works, I recall seeing Satriani on a video explaining Surfing with the Alien (song, not album) and him stating that at one point he moves over to Phrygian for the first solo (I think it was C#? Idk, but it was definitely phrygian). I love the albums Surfing with the Alien and Passion and Warfare, respectively though - I regularly listen to them. As a matter of fact, listening to the former right now...

Ionian was major, and Aeolian is natural minor...

Then Dorian's used kinda often, like in Miles Davis' So What. :P
