Hello triangle,
You would like to know more about modes theory in general, but there is little of modal use here. Here's why: If a song is in C major key, you have a specific note range: [ C - D - E = F - G - A - B = C ]. You use this note range for your solos. However, when playing something, it's not important what mode you use, because mode (scale) is just a note range, similar as I'm writing this sentence and I'm using alphabet as a letter range for construction of the sentences. In the same fashion, you as musician should use a given note range, pick notes from it and make a melody by following the chords in the background. This doesn't mean modes aren't important, you should learn them by hearth because later on you will make use of modal playing, similar to what Cosmin described. This shouldn't be important for you at the moment, as you could focus on using this note range in practice. I have couple of lessons on given topics that should be interesting to you, check them out: Modes Workshop Series - 3 lessons on modes, use backing tracks and go up & down to get yourself familiar with specific sound of each mode, choose alternate picking, economy picking or legato Improvising Workshop Series - Lesson series designed to help you understand what to do with the notes you have at your disposal. Go through the lessons and use C major key in order to find out how to use it properly. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
