Modal Expression in E No_3 
Is Mainly Major, Mixolydian (1:37) G# Minor (3:00), Major and Lydian Mix, C# Minor.
MOOD: Laying down and reflecting - Watching inside. Meditate.

This is the 3rd and last one from my Modal Journey :)
I've recorded this  1 Day after the two other pieces.

The Idea was to take 3rd and 6th degree (Key E) as Pentatonic and add the Minor/Major 6th to embellish it -- to make it more melodic and mix it with the E Lydian scale ...and spice it with some tension notes :)

Guitar: Breedlove Atlas D25 (with 7 month old Elixir Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze NanoWeb, .013 - .056)
Backing Track played on PC with WM Player with Cyber Acoustics 2.1 Speaker System Ca3550 - 67 Watt
and Recorded with ZOOM H2n with 4CH (XY/MS) Stereo, Compressor General
MIX: Audacity 2.12 Fade-In/Fade-Out and Panned 50%/30% left/right channel with correction of db Level.

Moving on

Acoustic Guitar Player from Germany. Genres:  Acoustic Blues Rock, Southern Rock, Latin Rock, R&B, Folk and Pop.  Style:  Flat picking all the way. Started playing guitar at  the age of seventeen -  and still enjoying playing now in my Fifties.

As a musician focusing primarily on Melody and Groove - and songs that can be recognized without the need of singing.

Influenced by Gary Moore, Wishbone Ash, Ten Years After, Scorpions, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamassa  and  Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Francis Cabrel, Melissa Etheridge, Tommy Emmanuel, Lloyd Spiegel, Geoff Achison, Bjorn Berge and many more...

Just love the reward of creating  music and enjoy  being able to express myself through the guitar - every Day for the last several years - improving  continuously and hence having more fun playing.

My ambition from the beginning was to find my own style. There is so much to learn. I will never be as great as I want to be. But I'm going to spent the rest of my life trying to be as great as I can be.

Andreas Rogall
