In this episode of Ask Wallimann I'll answer the following questions:
Do you compose your solos on the spot? Do your fingers play what you sing in your head or is  the outcome somewhat random and later you go back, listen, and say 'Oh, that part sounded really cool! I am going to do that again next time.'?
Georges

What steps do you take to learn/memorize a scale / mode? Do you "write" out the intervals on paper first then on the guitar? Did you memorize the fret notes using intervals and/or note names? 
Soolan11

I have trouble separating the sounds of the mode. Any suggestions?Shon
