I have quite a bit of modal theory background but I feel like I'm learning something new-they are "tricks" if you will-clever indeed! I'm used to just relating the different modes, ie G major is the same as A Dorian is the same as E Natual minor is the same as C# Phrigian, etc.Then using say the C# Phrygian or A Dorian while the band jamms away in the key of G,

etc-

Love the vids and I am about to go check out your sight! Great stuff! And P.S> Loved the "secrets of Minor Pent" .COOOOL!
