I want to highlight this cool chord progression again. It works for acoustic guitar but also for electric guitar if you use a chorus effect and probably some delay.

Here I show you my view on the essentials you need to know if you want to master the lydian mode. I show you some chords, useful patterns and some easy tricks to display the lydian mode.

Here I show you the essentials which you can play when you play the phrygian mode on jazz guitar. This includes cool chord combinations, some soloing with the pentatonic but also the phrygian mode and some ideas with some upper structure triads.
