--------------10------12------- D dorian
Ie. a mode isnt every note of the scale on the guitar, otherwise it wouldnt be a mode it would be identical!
If thats what you guys have been talking about all this time then at last!! but when i solo i try to use all the notes. Are modes then the names given to parts of the solo that concentrate on a small part, ie not every note on the guitar of that scale?
So if you do a run from C (8fret 6string) to C (10fret 4th string) that C major scale. Is the mode where you concentrate on going up the scale but starting off on D (10fret 6string) to D (12fret 4th string) is that the mode D Dorian?
I just dont see the point in modes? Is it simply a way of teaching you which scales you can move to by giving them the same name (root note) ?
