This Just the Tip video features one of my favorite things to help discover new and interesting sounds by using modal interchanges, which is when you take two modal sounds/flavors and blend them together.
This quick lesson features three approaches to tapping into using modal interchange ideas in your music and reveals a basic scale-based approach, an expressive melodic idea, and a string-skipped arpeggio idea centered around blending C# Aeolian with C Lydian.
This manner of selecting modal scales and tonalities in music can (sometimes) be viewed as cramming a "square peg into a round hole" (so-to-speak) but through experimenting with this idea and mimicking some of the sounds you'll catch players like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, and Guthrie Govan use frequently (to name a few), you'll tap into a whole new realm of mixing and matching scales and musical tonalities.
