Going Modal


El Goodo is doing very well on House-Mixes. Brings up a key point: I don't have much musical training, but I have some. Taking lessons intermittently for a few years at Music Works (now Pro Drum Works) in Glenside, I learned the rudiments of modal guitar playing, and they stuck with me. Mixing up Dorian, Phrygian, and Ionian modal elements into my lead playing became second nature to me over the course of my adolescence; and I crafted El Goodo so that some of that feeling, that ambiance, could come through.
