There are some examples to work with already thrown out by others, however most are complex and can be above some of our heads, this is great but sometimes offering up some difficult scenarios will not help those not at that level and honestly just discourages them.
I want to propose a more simplistic chord structure and find what modes one would use to solo to this structure. I find that the less notes in chords the more room you have to work with as a rule of thumb, so these chords are very simple rock chords and there a few keys to work with when looking at these, and some modes that mix well in those keys, so have at it and let me know your thoughts.
Simply put you have a D Power chord which is D,A then you have an A# Power chord which is A# and F, this then proceeds to a G Power Chord which is G and C, and finally you end with a C Power Chord which is C, and G. The rhythm could be anything from hard rock to speed metal, etc...
I will go ahead and state my findings and see if I get any disagreement with them, as well I want to hear alternate approaches you think would work well.
I find the natural key to me is A Minor or F Major and the modes of A aeolian and E Locrian of F Major to work really well. Also D Phrygian works really well for me from the key of A# Major.
I may be wrong in some of my assessments above and want to hear if so, but also want to hear what other unique approaches some of you would take, or some questions if anybody does not understand since this is quite a bit more simplistic than some of those complex chords thrown out there so far. I know the concept is the same, but still smaller building blocks are easier to start with for those of us who are not experts yet IMHO.
