About This File
A lot of students have difficulties in understanding why intervals are so important to understand modes. Here are a few exercises where the modes are all played starting from the C on the 3rd fret on the A string. Here you can see the difference of the modes very well and you can understand how they are built. Once you can alter from one mode to another in just one position then you can start to do this everywhere on the fretboard. All you need to know are the intervals of each mode and where to find each interval in relation to the root note of the mode. This exercise seems to be small and easy but this is the main thing you need to learn if you want to be able to play freely on the entire fretboard. Every mode is defined through the intervals in relation to the root note.
