EPISODE 35 A TALE OF TWO TYRANTS

The Greco-Persian wars were a series of truly tectonic engagements fought during the first half of the 5th century BCE. On one side was a lose coalition of free Greek cities versus the autocratic behemoth that was the Persian empire.

A real David and Goliath style conflict, with this episode I'll be kicking off a series on the conflicts to describe the period in as much detail as possible.

First up I take a look at the genesis behind the wars themselves, that is the Ionian revolt. Aristagoras of Miletus is often credited with stirring up a sense of nationalism amongst the cities of the Ionian coast, in western Turkey. From there his actions set the Greek world down a path to the serious engagements that would follow, Marathon, Thermopylae, Plataea and Salamis.

However, Aristagoras' position as tyrant was underpinned by his father-in-law, Histiaeus, the real tyrant of Miletus. The  story of the Ionian revolt is just as much about the former man as it is about the latter. We'll look deeper into both these tyrants stories and drill into the events surrounding the Ionian revolt.

Hope you all enjoy and take care.

Do you know your modes? If so, do you know how to apply them to your playing? In this episode, Brett gives you a couple of ways to think about modes and how to apply that knowledge to your improvisation. 

Melodic dictation, the act of transcribing and notating a melody by ear, is an important skill for a musician to cultivate. In this episode, we will focus on the Mixolydian mode. It has one small difference from the major scale, or Ionian mode. Let's listen!

Learn the music theory behind guitar modes and hear how they're used in popular music. Play modal scales including Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. Taught by Desi Serna of http://GuitarMusicTheory.com.

We've learned about the major and minor scales. Now it's time to explore the 7 Diatonic Modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. We will learn how to construct them and identify them using the "relative" and the "parallel" methods. We will also give them a listen, check out some examples and discuss what moods they convey and how they effect us.

This week we take on Ancient Carthage, a great Mediterranean Civilization known more for their feuds with the much more famous Greeks and Romans. But as one fan put it: Carthage is a cooler, blacker Rome.

Learn all about our trip to Naxos, Greece aboard a 110 ft. yacht which was televised this week and last on the Bravo TV show, Below Deck Mediterranean.

Note: This podcast has NO financial information in it and is just about our trip!

We appeared in "Episode 9: Fever pitch" on June 28th.

Hear me discuss the crew, eating Ben’s cooking, wave runners, the tender to the beach,
how Bobby carries us, Ben cooks s’mores.

How were the s'mores with strawberry peeps? Ben couldn’t source the ingredients in Greece.

We appeared on "Episode 10: Charter from heaven, charter from hell?" on July 5th.

Next day breakfast, wave runners, jeweler, excursion on tender with Bryan and Tiffany, change for dinner, violinist, dinner (and unfortunate combination of motion sickness med and alcohol).

Could use some love on my FB fan page (www.Facebook.com/LindaPJonesFanPage) or Instagram page, @lindapjones.

Breakfast, give largest tip of the season and said good bye. Hannah says we are her favorites and she loves us! She misses us already when men acting like "frat boys" come on the yacht.
