Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.i have been waiting for this lesson. im such a fan dude this is sick
thank you ......very helpful.....i had always wondered the same thing "its the same scale but played starting on a different note" but now if i target the target note that you specified it does sound different
simply awesome lesson.. opened the locked doors in my modal path.
Thanks, David, for going through these modes in series. I've read descriptions of the different qualities of modes, but I've not heard them played back to back like these before. Very helpful.
