Let's exemplify & analyse how to play over a backing track which contains a basic modulation (change of key).

In this lesson we will learn the simplest method for modulation.

Here we are with a track from my album "For A Brother". Allan Holdsworth influences.

Using tonal center to modulate in half steps.

Let's explore a new way to look at complex modulations and make the improvisation job a little easier.

Develop an ear for modulation! We will build musical ideas around C Major going into C minor using the Ionian and Aeolian scale along with the corresponding Major and minor pentatonics.

This lesson will focus on a serie of modulation. All the different keys will be minor keys and we will be using minor pentatonic scales only. I tried to include different pentatonic boxes for you to use, but you can use any box you want as long as you are staying in the correct key.

In this lesson David Wallimann presents a piece that alternates between two different keys. Whenever working on a song that modulates, it's important to prepare your leads so that you can start a musical idea in one key to finish it in another.

In this lesson we will study an improvisation that will use the Phrygian mode, and the Ionian mode (aka Major scale). The key is in G and the track modulates from G Phrygian to G major. The following licks are not very technical, but are there to show you how to build musical ideas that are built around the chords.
