Pitch Axis Theory
I first heard of this through Vai and Satriani. Basically, you play all the modes over a constant root used as a pedal tone. In this example, I use E as the root, and cycle through Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian, and back to Ionian, all over E. Of course, this can be applied to any key. Have fun! (For the mp3 file: sorry about the static! Just lower the preamp a little, thanks.)
