Each mode serves a different function.
Some are sad, warm, happy, mysterious...
But never tasteless.
A free musician doesn't just use modesโthey wield them, mastering every color and emotion they carry.

Each mode serves a different function.
Some are sad, warm, happy, mysterious...
But never tasteless.
A free musician doesn't just use modesโthey wield them, mastering every color and emotion they carry.
Internalize them here:
When it comes to groove, banal artists stick to either binary rhythms or ternary rhythmsโnever both.
You, as a free musician, will blend them.
Divide by 2, divide by 3. Now by 4, then by 6โฆ
Make them dance.
Happy musical day!
Donโt apply too much force with your rhythmic hand.
As a guitarist, most of your precision comes from the hand pressing the frets. Your fingers must flawlessly land on the right strings.
Your rhythmic hand, however, should remain gentleโunless youโre deliberately aiming for an aggressive feel.
The Dorian mode is perfect if you're looking for minor qualities with a sense of freedom and spirituality.
As a minor scale with a major 6th, it preserves the warmth of Mixolydianโwithout the major 3rd.
Choose a root today.
