QUOTE (bleez @ Oct 19 2012, 09:27 AM)
hey alex,
Im currently working through these new licks but I was also wondering if you could give me some advice on scales / modes or basic theory.
Basically after reading the 'understanding Modes' post which Zoom made recently and watching the videos that got posted It made me realize how limited my theory knowledge is and I'd really like to improve this area.
All I really know is the 5 positions of the minor pentatonic, Im not sure where to start to try and improve this area, any suggestions?
cheers mate.
I have a perfect exercise that will help you to master all the modes and scales
