    During lockdown I set myself the challenge to learn modes so I can be more creative in my solo playing. I am no expert still but learning them has given me some great ideas and licks that I would never have done beforehand. Biggest thing I have learnt though when writing a guitar solo for example is to put the guitar down and hear playback of the chord progression and attempt to sing the solo. Doesn't have to be perfect but it will give you some ideas. You'll find all the cool sounds will be in those modes when you pick up the guitar and play what you sang. Works for me. 

    Two things I'll remember about lockdown will be learning those modes and watching and massively getting into 'Friday Night Dinner'. and 'Tiger King' of course LOL

    It ain't pretty @viz but it certainly sounds better when on the guitar again ;)
