The subject came up when doing a lesson on Active Melody. The main chord was BM, and the run of notes ran back up to that chord fingering.

Brian mentioned it being a Dorian run. So since I am working on soloing, licks, fills, etc. I started to wonder about modes.

I still am confused about them, but the most important(to me) thoughts here are about making the guitar "speak a language" and phrasing of notes, not just randomly playing notes over chords because they fit. I did print the Bob Womack paper on soloing, and Doug Young is on the same track. For now, this information is most valuable, and making the guitar speak is more important for me at this stage.

Another issue for new players like me(two years of daily practice) is getting carried away with too many notes, just because they "fit."
