    Happy new year synners!

    So as many of you, I guess, one of my new year resolutions is to improve my playing. Since I recently learned the modes, I figured I would record myself playing a mode each day during the first 7 days of the year and do the same 2021 to see how much a year made me grow.

    Here is the first one.....I am going for safe playing.

    Awesome! I love modes, especially phrygian dominant and to get a little bit more into using super locrian.

    You play great too! Really melodic and no unnecessary shredding, I like that! Just one thing you can dig in a little more with your vibrato!

    Also, I'm wondering what gives you a headache when using Aeolian?

    Thanks. Well I dont shredd much cause I cant. I am planning to learn how to shredd ( although using it sparingly) and working on my vibrato is my mission! Im gonna learn some Kiss solos to improve my vibrato.

    I’ll try but I’m starting with more basic backing track improvs first. I know all the modes, but can’t really play anything because I don’t know enough licks. I never really play like that, this is a great inspiration to start.

    No shame in not knowing the modes. Just apply it to another thing you want to improve. And then do the same thing in a year! I encourage you!
