Using a classic 1–6–5–4 chord progression in D major, we explore why just staying in one scale shape isn’t enough. You’ll learn how modes help you target the right notes over each chord—so your solos actually fit the harmony. Whether you're improvising or writing lead lines, understanding how to shift your focus as the chords change is the key to playing with confidence and expression.

Designed for guitarists who want to go beyond “fretboard patterns” and truly understand guitar music theory, this lesson gives you a practical insight into how modal thinking transforms your phrasing.
