OK, so I understand what the different modes are. I also know where the different scales lie on the fretboard (not in the complete sense, but work with me here.)

Now, my question is: "How do you use a different mode to solo in?" Since it's a solo, you're using notes all over the scale - how would you distinguish two different modes? Is it dependent on what note you start your particular run on?

Thanks a lot for your help.



Oh yeah, and Christoph - is your signature a Leonard Cohen poem?
