“Hearing, distinguishing and using modes is a process that will take some time, but once you do it, most of the things in theory will start to make much more sense, the dots will be connected, and it will make you a much better musician. So be patient and take your time with this. Let’s get to the modes.”

“One such example would be if you had a progression, let’s say: i — VII — VI — V7 (which is a common progression used in flamenco music, also called an Andalusian cadence). In the key of Am the chords would be: Am — G — F — E7. Here you can use the A minor scale to solo and it would fit perfectly over Am, G and F chords, but when E7 comes, just for that one chord you would switch to playing E Dominant 7 arpeggio – meaning the notes of E7 chord: E G# B D, in any combination.”
