Hi Joe, New Fan here. Love your music, I dont think there is one song Ive heard that I didnt like....

Can you give me some tips to writing songs... Most of the time I will come up with a chord progression/riff, but cant build on it.... I must have like 20 riffs written that are not finished, thus my talent is not getting demonstrated to other people.... any tips? I dont want to sit all day long trying to come up with something....

Also can you give me tips on writing modal music.... thanks.... I watched your Satch Zone video, the one where you talked about your influences etc.... I liked the improvising in the background so much, that it inspired me to write a song like that.... so far I have a begining, and as usually now I'm stuck.....

can you give me an explanation on some chords I can use for spacish Lydian sound.... Thanks Joe...

My begining progression is C5/D5 arpegiated... ( If this will help you answer the question...

Another question, why does Clydian sounds good over D5? If we play D5 and solo with Gscale wont that be mixolydian mode? So why does C5/D5 chord progression sounds good with C lydian?

Thanks Joe.... Keep Rocking and inspiring young minds to play guitar.... You're the reason I started learning modes in the first place.... Your music cannot be described in words....

P.S. Are you ever coming to WA, Seattle?

I would like to see you live so much....
