Re: What do you think is best for rockin,Dorian triad........

I play a lot of power metal and hard rock, so I personally prefer the Lydian modes for power metal, and a minor pentatonic for hard rock. Each one has it's own characteristics. The Lydian scales (to me anyways) have a more fleshed out sound when I sweet pick or need to make a shred look... whereas the minor pentatonic has a more traditional sound closer to the blues that I base my playing off of...
