Nick Layton/Modes For The Rock Guitarist

Think of Modes as Moods you can create to express yourself more fully...

But to use modes you need a basic understanding of music theory.

You see, modes are not simply a scale shape.

A common misunderstanding is that if you play a 3 note per string Dorian shape, you are playing the Dorian mode.

But this is not true and depends totally on the context the shape is played in.

Adding to the confusion is that modes are typically taught in a confusing way to guitarists.

Music theory is usually taught from a piano player's point of view, but I've fixed that problem.

Welcome to: Modes For The Rock Guitarist!
