The main focus for today's lesson is to embrace differences in volume.

Sometimes the musical idea that you want to make stand out has nothing to do with volume. Instead, you can use contrast to highlight that idea.

The backing track that will be using switches every two bars between the Ionian and Aeolian modes. Those harmonic changes already imply some contrast.

We are going to pair those modulations with changes in volume to emphasize dynamics and contrast.

Use the volume knob in your guitar to get different dynamics. If you are using a noise gate, pay attention to the settings so it doesn't kill your quiet parts.
