The instructor in this 5 minute clip is Cameron Rasmussen, who happens to be one of the company’s newest and youngest teachers. However, despite his age, he’s quite a capable guitarist whose tutorials often involve information on guitar theory and they sometimes entail advanced guitar licks, such as this one.
A mode is basically a scale within a scale and the minor guitar modes that Cameron teaches in this clip are different from the diatonic modes that he has taught in previous guitar lessons.
