SESSIONS

3. Sonic Metal

TRACK NOTES

Kiko plays over the B minor riff using the Aeolian mode (B C# D E F# G A) as his main scale,
but note how he also uses outside notes to create cool melodic sounds... there’s the A#
(major 7th) in measure 4, the F (flat 5th) in measure 5 and the D# (major 3rd) in measure
6. He continues to use this scale over the descending sequence in measures 17-24, but
switches occasionally to B Phrygian (B C D E F# G A) over the C5 chord, where the regular
C# note would clash.

In meaures 49-56, he uses a series of similar arpeggio patterns which follow the chord
progression. The backing chords are simple power chords, but Kiko is actually playing E13,
Gmaj13, Bbmaj13 and Cmaj13 shapes. You could also view these as simply scale patterns,
based on the major scales for each chord (except for the E13 which is Mixolydian).
