Part 4/7:
Beato demonstrates how Frampton employs modal strategies like flat fifth intervals, scale colorings (e.g., mixing Dorian with Aeolian modes), and target notes within the D minor and Dorian contexts to create expressive, musical solos. Through this analysis, he reveals how framing a solo with modal thinking can produce compelling musical narratives.
The Solo from "Lines on My Face"
Next, Beato discusses a solo from another track on the same album, "Lines on My Face," which occurs at 3:23. This solo exemplifies how Frampton navigates chord progressions that pivot between different modal shades and keys, including seven, D sus, and modulations to G minor.
