Understanding notes and tones is the key...You always make it look so easy!

I love this new way of getting my brain out of the old rut! What a relief. Thank you Chris! 😃

[justinn]

Sweet exercise, didn't think about doing it two notes per string.

[markcafebrown]

I joined your patron today. Very excited to learn from you

[christophervincent]

This is one of the most meaningful and important things you have ever put out. Trust me, this is not a lightly statement to make. To me, this is absolutely everything in movement and translation of what I want to say.

[CravenStudiosArt]

yes, licks are def. what I tune in for (typically) but this...this is what I NEEDED! Thank you Chris

Fantastic exercise for getting even more dialed into the flavors of each mode. Thank you, Chris.

[pjokivuo]

This is really a useful and important lesson, many thanks Chris! Really helps to understand different scales structure.

[chrispeleshenko]

Wow, that modes excercise is a real brain engager. I'll be sitting over here practicing if anyone needs me.

[tone-glide]

Definitely changes your view of the scales.. Challenging exercise for sure! Thank you sir!

[timsellsted]

Another good one Chris! Ima have to spend some time with this one fersure.

[capbubba]

Love the lesson, learning the scale degree is so big in knowing where your target notes are. Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us.👍😎👍

[richardsong]

Clear exposition for immediate application… 🙏

[PR-BEACHBOY]

OK, so what I just watched was what I’ve been interested in for a few years now…Modes!

How you began your lesson by restricting to two notes per string forces the player to find the correct notes in other areas on the neck.

Unfortunately I’m away from my guitars for a while so I can’t try your methods.

Anyway long story short this lesson is Outstanding!

Thanks!!!

PS: where do I find the information on playing each mode? “I Do Prefer Lydia Mix Ales Locally” is my Nemonic Device for remembering the names and order of the modes!
