this is hard to explain. i mean that say we have the scale c majour. and the chord progression cmaj, amin,fmaj.
ok so you could play c ionion over the whole thing, or you could play c ionion, a aolion and f lydian.
but i here you cry they all have the same notes in them. well yes they do, but playing each mode is more than playin all the notes in the scale up or down or in some random order. how you phrase ur riffs is important. like if u keep returning to a note, it might very well sound like that is the root of the mode. so if you played the note a a lot it would sound like a aolion. or f a lot f lydian.
i am simplifying things here a lot but thats the jist. or at least how i understand it. if u want me to go into more detail ask.
