Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I have Dave's solo album and I really recommend it. I bought it directly by his website.
This video is very useful to do a quick look at the modes, how they sound and how to practice them to incorporate their sound into our minds... I like his approach on this one because he bases on practising creating musical ideas... so you are practising and creating music at the same time. -------------------- My lessons

My knowledge of Modes is pretty basic but it does allow me to effectively play fairly comfortably in any mode. Although again, it is very basic. I haven't wrapped my head around which notes are accented across all of the modes and my playing tends to sound more like running through scales than a melodic masterpiece. I basically just know 5 universal shapes, I guess 5 shapes of the major scale. And where to play them depending on the key and the mode I want to be in. I would love to be able to dig in deeper and get a real understanding of things. To me that's where the most powerful melodies come from. So you should use Satriani's approach to get the best from the modes! -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab! That's actually a really good video. He describes me perfectly in that 'the scale dictates what I play rather than me taking ownership of the scale'. That's the key! I enjoy this Guthrie's video a lot... I have seen it many times and I always recommend it. -------------------- My lessons

I understand the modes, and can hear the difference of each when playing over a drone note or perhaps a 1 or 2 chord vamp.
BUT and this is probably because every thing I play is pretty much very diatonic and either major (ionian based) or minor (aeolian based) chord progressions When it comes to me composing something that maybe I want to compose a piece that sounds for example Lydian, I can't get my head around creating a 4 chord or whatever progression that changes chord every 2 bars, I understand the IV chord should be the chord to focus on and resolve to. Am I missing something do I need to add chords with extensions on them to help get that Lydian sound? -------------------- My SoundCloud

That makes sense, and why a modal approach has never seemed to work for most of the music I normally play.
I shall try your example later when I can get to a guitar. Thanks -------------------- My SoundCloud
