Music is all about telling stories and sometimes you need to simplify that story in order to connect with your audience.

In this video we are going to use a drop D tuning because that allows us to have a constant drone made out of a root, fifth and octave on the three low strings.

Then we will add a note on top of that drone to start telling our story. You need to have in mind that the more notes you have the less options you have as a player.

We also need to train our ears to recognize the different canvases available (this is the modes). One thing we are going to do to make these modes more approachable is to relate them with themes and words.

The Ionian theme is going to be sunny, happy, pleasant, etc. The Phrygian theme is dark, the Lydian theme is going to be dreamy and cloudy.
