Re: Modes - Practicing to Cement Their Sound in Your Head
I want to be able to improvise so I practice scales - regular and pentatonic, modes, arpeggios, etc, etc. I found that what was said in #8 and #13 most helpful for me.
When I just practiced scales and modes on their own it didn’t really cement the sound or purpose - but I did learn the fretboard...so when I would try them out in tunes it began to make more sense.
I started with tunes I really knew and would just wing it for awhile, sometimes it sounded pretty good...others not so much. After a while it began to sound more melodic rather than mechanical.
