Advanced Guitar Lesson – Modal Progressions On Guitar

February 12th, 2010 by Carl Brown

This lesson is the video accompaniment to the “Writing Modal Progressions” PDF tutorial.

After learning the Dorian and Lydian progressions shown in the video lesson, try to come up with a bunch of progressions using various keys and modes. It will work the same way every time.

Then you should record yourself playing the progressions you have come up with and try to start practicing all of your modes over them. Try to really get the sound of each mode in you ear.

I hope everyone is enjoying these modal studies, I know it can get a bit involoved with the theory behind it and everything but I think that after a while of playing this type of stuff, you can easily make it part of the way you approach the guitar everyday.

REMEMBER, THE OCCASIONAL DONATION IS WHAT WILL INSURE THAT THIS SITE STAYS FREE FOR EVERYONE!! HELP ME KEEP IT GOING!! Carl..

   WOW!!! thank you. You cannot begin to believe how hard it has been for me to find someone around here to explain this concept to me in such easy to understand terms as you just have!! I’m totally blown away at how easy this is once it is explained properly.. I’ve even been to the local college instructor who although he knew how to do it, he could not explain what his thought process was in order to relay his knowledge. And most other instructors here feed you tiny crumbs month by month without tying it all together in an understandable and applicable setting….. I have been one to be able to handle large lessons and work through them but it’s the “rubber meets the road” in terms of playing live or improvising that’s been my hard spot but now thanks to your lessons I truly have improved by months if not years honestly, in just a few weeks……..as soon as payday strikes (haha) I will definately be supporting you and your website!!! And again, THANK YOU!!!
