Great foundation for understanding modes

I really liked the content in this course. Even if you have the basics (as I did), you'll see them explained from a different perspective. Many things that I sort of knew became a lot clearer and the relationship between chords, modal flavours and tonal relationships started to seem more obvious. I no longer need to think about some things as they're a lot more intuitive and logical now. This has helped with how I approach accompanying a song - switching modes now also has a logical rationale, not just a gut feeling that it sounds right. Some of the material is duplicated per mode to allow you to focus on any specific mode, but if you follow it all, the same material in a different context helps it become more embedded. This was a great investment of my time.
