Hi guys,

I was wondering the theory behind this song.

The main riff is C major chord but the rest of the song uses chords like Eb major, D minor and F7.

I don't think is considered a modulation, right?



Is there a scale I could use to harmonize this entire song or do I need to use two different scales, one when it plays the riff and for the rest of the song?

Thanks.

In rock you can easily subsitue a minor third for a major one.

The main riff is not a progreesion in as much it is a vamp. The riff is formed off of a C Doriam mode using double stops.
