Curriculum
Too many guitarists struggle with modal playing because they never fully learned what modes are—or how to actually use them.
If modes still feel confusing, random, or like a theory buzzword with no real application, you're not alone. Most players skip over them or memorize a few shapes without ever understanding how modes unlock creativity in solos, songwriting, and composition.
Ask yourself:
👉 Do you truly understand how each mode sounds and feels?
👉 Can you confidently solo using Dorian, Lydian, or Mixolydian—on purpose?
👉 Do you know how to borrow chords from other modes to add color to your music?
👉 Could you explain what modes are, where they come from, and how to use them in soloing and composition?
If not, that’s the gap. And this course will help you fill it. All About Modes takes you from confused to confident so you can finally make music that sounds as intentional and expressive as you imagine.
