    I am a seasoned musician but for some reason never managed to wrap my head around the modes, especially patterns for application. I know all the major and 3 types of minor scales (major / relative minor) all over the neck and can harmonize, etc. with no issue but modes for some reason have...

    Shapes VS Intervals

    I have been a shape based player (like many) for a long time. My Guitar teacher at university convinced me last year to start thinking about the fret board as intervals from what ever key I am playing in. He told me that CAGED is a terrible system and I should study the circle of fifths and...

    Breaking out of rut

    I mix up what key I write in all the time, but I seem to always stick with the modes of harmonic minor. What does everyone else do when you get stuck in a rut like that?
