I've been playing for over 10 years now, and I have not been able to find much out about modulation, or chord substitution. Is there an easy way to go about these two things? Also, sometimes I hear musicians playing a good lead part they will play a certain riff a couple of times which resolves back to a note, but on the last time around they will resolve to a completely different note, which in turn gives them to change scales, key, and even take very dramatic turns. Most of this comes up because I went to a festival with a band called the "Disco Bisuits" and they seem to have ultimate control over these types of things, and I would recommend anyone who wants to increase their earpower to listen to these guys, all their music is freely distributed and it is great! Here's a link to one place you can download one of their shows for free

I'd suggest you download "Hotair Balloon" first, but you'll probably be amazed and start downloading like crazy like i did
Another favorite band of mine was Phish and they too had amazing ability for these modualtions and chord substitution.

My overall question I guess is quite convoluted, and will take years of experimentation, but I'm hoping there are some people who will have an idea of what direction I should be going in.

Seriously though check that band out, you'll become better just listening to it.

thanks for your time and I can't wait to hear what sorts of things people will say since this is my first post.
