Diatonic Lead Patterns from “Fretboard Logic”

Major scale steps are: Interval Steps Alteration Chord Fit


Ionian WWHWWWH Major triads, maj7
Dorian WHWWWHW b3, b7 Minor triads, m7, m9
Phrygian HWWWHWW b2, b3, b6, b7 Minor triads, m7
Lydian WWWHWWH #4 maj7, maj7#11
Mixolydian WWHWWHW b7 7th, 9th, 13th
Aolian Natural Minor WHWWHWW b3, b6, b7 Minor triads, m7, m9
Locrian HWWHWWW b2, b3, b5, b6, b7 m7b5

|-DLP-I-----------------------w-h------8-9-11-13-14-16-| This happens to be the Modes of the C# scale because the pattern starts on the 6th string, 1st fret. (The C#
|-----------------------w-h-w-6-7-9/11-----------------| Major scale starts at the C# root on the 5th string, 4th fret.) Nothing special about C#; you can start the pattern
|---------------w-h-w-w-5-6-8-----w--w-w-h--w--w--h--w-| anywhere – the pattern doesn’t change. Any major scale has to start with the good old W-W-H-W-W-W-H.
Take a look at DLP 2 for a major scale starting on the 6th string.
|---------w-h-w-3-4-6/8--------------------------------|
|-x-h-w-w-3-4-6----------------------------------------| The pattern is just a way to maneuver up and down the fretboard.

|-DLP-2-----------------------w-h---6-7-9/11-13-14-16--| This happens to be the Modes of the F# scale because the pattern starts on the 6th string, 1st

change.
|---------------w-h-w-3-4-6/8--------------------------|
|-------w-h-w-w-3-4-6----------------------------------| To extrapolate to one of the modes, just find a starting point that gives you the right interval
|-x-h-w-1-2-4/6----------------------------------------| sequence. For example, a Mixolydian needs the sequence WWHWWHW. In DLP2, that puts
|-1-2-4------------------------------------------------| you starting on the 5th string, 6th fret.

“C-A-G-E-D” Stuff:

Check this out: Down and dirty, bite-size modes: Playing over the I Chord, the ii Chord in Dorian and the V7 Chord in Mixolydian:

Here’s the “D” shape major scale with the root in To play Dorian mode without moving your To get the V7, use the same shape, just make the

for a major scale. (It is “D” when the root is It’s a whole step up from the root. Make the
“D”.)] Dorian “root” your tonal center.

Sticking with the G Major example, the V chord


is D7. Play a D7 and then a lick using D as the
tonal center.
Say this the G major scale. G is red. Play a G Play an Am chord. Then start a lick on an A (red

Let’s go “up” the neck from the “D” shape to the Let’s mix it up this time and try a Lydian.
“C” Shape. They connect to each other. It’s We know Lydian is a #4 in some (every) major
CAGEDCAGED scale.
Say the C shape major form (two boxes ago) was
in the key of E. 2nd string, 5th fret for the E. The
Lydian over the C shape starts on the 4th degree
of the key of E, or A (red below). The 4th degree
of the A major scale is sharped.
There’s the Dorian. Same shape. Different tone
center.

There’s the major scale.

So if it is E Major, it A Lydian asA Lydian is the


Lydian mode of E. And I bet it works over a V7
chord. (It does.)

Same drill - Locate the #4 in relation to the root.
(Learn the b5 at the same time.)

Let’s go for the Aolian or natural minor scale Where’s the b6 in relation to the root?
OK, pressing on, here’s the “A” shape. Let’s say this time. WHWWHWW. That’s a b3, b6 and a
this is a D major scale. Root D on the red. b7. That’s the 6th degree of a major scale. In D
major, that’s B. Works over minor triads, m7, m9.
In this A shape, if the root is D, the minor 6th is B (red
below). Same shape, different mode.

Remember, you can do this for all the modes.


The shape is the same, the tonal center changes.

Finally, “E” shape.
Up the neck again, to the “G” shape:
Say this is a C major scale. Root C on the red. Say this is a A major scale. Root A in red.

Figure it out.
