The Modal Switch Trick

Ever felt like you were just playing the same tired old licks over and over when you’re improvising on bass? You might be playing over a song that you’ve played *dozens* of times before and you just can’t help it.

1st chord, you automatically play something you’ve heard yourself play thousands of times. The 2nd chord goes past – same thing. Nothing new seems to ever come out of your bass. It’s almost like you’re on autopilot…

It sounds horrible – and it kind of is – but it’s also 100% normal. When you’re learning to improvise, just about everyone goes through this cycle of having a breakthrough, then a plateau where your playing feels stale, then another breakthrough, another plateau.

If you find yourself in a plateau right now, I have a trick you can use today to trigger a breakthrough in your playing. I call it the ‘modal switch’ trick and that’s exactly what today’s lesson is all about.

Once you get your head around this trick, your playing will start feeling a whole lot more fresh, you’ll be able to use the licks you already know in new, more interesting ways. And best of all?

It’s simple to implement!
