Hi there. I am trying to find out how to use modes. I know a kid who uses them, and I don't know if he just doesn't want to or what, but whenever I ask him to explain them to me, he can't seem to do it.
I know there is something to do with the key I'm playing in, as well as the other chords in the progression, and I know that each mode has its own characteristic sound...but I still can't figure out exactly what to do with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
