Guitar Modes: An Easier Way

Guitar Modes: An Easier Way

Guitar modes are a creative way to give your soloing a new and different sound. Some guitarists are enamored with the idea of modes but don’t know how to practically use them. Perhaps it is the exotic sounding names and elusive promise of “secret” guitar scales that causes some guitarists to treat them like a mystical holy grail of advanced understanding. When, in truth, with a little bit of music theory you can easily understand what modes are and how you could

use them to bring a new sound to your music.

This lesson covers an easier, player-friendly approach to modes - taking from the realm of unusable, mysterious theory and turning them into real tools that you can use on the bandstand.  Have a great lesson! - Steve Krenz

Steve plays a Vintage Sunburst J-45 Standard in this lesson.
