Modes and scales quizz I thought it would be fun to create a quick quizz so that guitar players can test their knowledge of modes and scales quickly. Let’s keep this test alive, am I missing any fun/cool question? Do you want to discuss or get more explanations on some of the questions? Talk to…

So what score did you get? :slight_smile:

15/15😎 Though the “which scale goes over the following progression” had me thinking for a few minutes. But I eventually figured them out, without a guitar in hand or writing anything down.

I’ve been looking for similar tests for ages and found absolutely none, zilcho. I hope we can get, say, a few thousand more quiz questions… :wink: :upside_down_face:

Nice, so we need more questions :slight_smile:
We can certainly add more questions or tests, I am wondering how we could do the same thing for technique, what kind of questions that would be.

I think for technique quiz is really not the way to go. I can imagine it like the ill fated “Lick of the Week Club”, but maybe in a more controlled manner. Licks designed for certain skill levels or technical prowess. Or maybe small challenges where it is possible to play the lick with multiple techniques and the goal is to get all techniques up to the same speed. For example a run which can be done with alternate picking, legato+tapping, alternate+sweep…

15/15 too. It’s thanks to @kiko 7 Factor Course. Haha! I’m currently taking it now and because of that I know the chords of the keys that’s why I figured out which scale to use on the progressions questions part. Though it got me thinking on the Phrygian Dominant part. The clue for me was the E7 and I thought “oh well, Phrygian Dominant can be use for major chords and since it’s dominant then it should go well to a dominant chord which is E7”.

Right? When I saw E7 I thought, EZ-PZ, we’re in A Major! Then comes an F and the Am, so A Maj is out… :smiley: I must admit I took an educated guess there by thinking that “Hey, a dominant scale with E as the root SHOULD be OK over an E dominant chord”… :nerd_face:
