@Griff and Gents,
I just wanted to say that the theory session yesterday and on 9-16-2019 was some of the best "playing" theory information I've ever seen or received during my guitar journey (for want of a better word). I can't imagine that many of the guitar names from the 50's and 60's had to figure a lot of that stuff out themselves.
I hope your work on the "progressive" or advanced course comes to fruition. I wanted to add one, very small suggestion...I've been attempting this type of playing and material for close to 9 months now and am falling into the trap that you said you noticed when people start moving to this level...sounding "scaler" when starting to lay modes over a blues background or any song for that matter. I don't have a large vocabulary as I don't play or gig professionally. But I can "lickify" major and minor pentatonics much better than modal overlays. I hope the course contains a rather comprehensive section on solos and riffing to help minimize the "scaler" sound. I've been through the modes course twice now and it helps, but it is definitely a different way of thinking about the fretboard. I think it might require lots of "exercise" modules (IMHO only).
In closing, just wanted to say this access program and course material is money very well spent.
Nice work again!
