No worries Calvin! I just panicked because I thought I had the modes figured out.Isaac-ill just take alternate picking etude VII. You can probably distinguish some intervals there. In the first bar you can see a major third, b2 and 5th. This tells you that it is probably played over a major chord. The second bar has a minor third in there with a 5th aswell so probably played over a minor chord. Doing something similar for the 3th, 4th and 5th bar gives you 3 major chords for those.In this case I would say the backingtrack is B-Em-C-F-B. You can do something similarly for all the other etudes aswell. Try to look for major or minor thirds and you know over what chords you can use them.Also realize that in this particular etude he basically does the same lick over both major and minor chords so you just need to know that one lick and move the third around depending on whether you’re playing over a major or minor chord.
