I wrote this a long time ago, but I think the reason I did that was to put the three octaves in a more playable range. My guitar only has 22 frets, and in G I would need 24 by the time I finish the last position. But remember, the KEY is not the important concept here, it's the SHAPE. You’re right.

In fact, which of these is "position 1" versus "position 5" or "position whatever" is entirely relative to the mode you're in. That said, you have the mode names a little mixed up in relation to my examples. They are in diatonic order. pos 1: ionian pos 2: dorian pos3: phrygian pos4: lydian pos5: mixolydian po6: aeolian I did not develop a method for Position 7 because there's only 6 possible combinations. Instead, read right below Figure 10. There I talk about what to do for locrean. Ken,

Yes, each position corresponds to a mode of major. In fact, which of these is “position 1″ versus “position 5″ or “position whatever” is entirely relative to the mode you’re in.

pos 1: ionian
pos 2: dorian
pos3: phrygian
pos4: lydian
pos5: mixolydian
po6: aeolian

I did not develop a method for Position 7 because there’s only 6 possible combinations. Instead, read right below Figure 10. There I talk about what to do for locrean.

Thank you for sharing that lesson, it's a very clever and great way to move around the neck not having to bother so much about those "P.I.T.A finger combinations" . I got a kick out of it, and I am trying to understand the different positions in relation to the modes, but I have no music education and although I've played for 20yrs I've never bothered about the theory until a couple of months ago. So I might be totally wrong here (probably) :) would it be something like this? pos 1: ionian ? pos 2: aeolian ? pos3: phrygian ? pos4: mixolydian ? pos5: lydian ? po6: locrian ? whatabout the dorian mode? hehe well I might be way off on this //Ken1 Hello Travis!

I brought my old PowerBook in for work once and they told me "We can't fix this." I asked them why and they said "You clearly dropped it." When I told them "that's news to me" they asked me how it got dented, and I told them "Because it's made of ALUMINUM: A SOFT, FLIMSY METAL." They wound up fixing some of it's issues, but since then, I've vowed never again to buy an aluminum laptop. The titanium G4's were great on the other hand. You had to literally TRY to dent those suckers... which is why I suspect Apple purposefully discontinued titanium. It was too sturdy, and they had to service a lot more warranties as a result. But if you work at an Apple store and see a dent on an aluminum enclosure, you can easily write it off as dropped, void the warranty, and save Apple hundreds. Because Aluminum is flimsy.
