Doing the backing now; the modulation sounds very smooth. What's the theory behind it? smile.gif Why does A minor to F# minor work? I understand C#7 (being the secondary dominant in F# minor) is there to "announce" the modulation and provide comfortable resolution to F#m chord?

Yes.

We are changing the key completely here. In the first part we are in C major scale patterns. When playing in F#minor you will use your 5 positions of A major scale but thinking of modes and their roots as the chord changes respectively. This is because I want to break the flow of thinking of one major scale. In this exercise we have 2 major scale patterns so a bit more brain work. E7 and F#7 are there just to announce the resolution as you said. They are not the part of our major scale patterns so on those places play just a couple of arpeggio notes and resolve to your actual chord.

1) How frequently do I have to change positions?

As frequent as you feel comfortable to do so. I expect you to cover the whole neck throughout this exercise.

QUOTE
2) How does the "modal system" work in this approach? Do I memorize where the root is located in each position for each mode?

Yes.

QUOTE
3) Do I have to stick to 16th notes only?

No but try more 16th notes if you can. If not, 8th notes will still work. You don't need to have some crazy tempo, keep it normal so you can play easier.
