In this episode of the Guitar and Improvisation Podcast, we tackle modal improvisation through the lens of Miles Davis's legendary tune "So What." We discuss the Dorian mode, explore how to build compelling solos over a modal framework, and share techniques for creating melodic interest without relying on fast-moving chord changes. This is a foundational episode for any jazz guitarist looking to develop a deeper modal vocabulary.
