In this 20 minute video I explore some of the chord-scale possibilities within the basic diatonic modes (all of the examples were played in the key signature of C Major (no sharps or flats besides the embellishing accidentals). My personal approach blends basic chord-tones with superimposed triads and pentatonic scales (all "inside"). I do not demonstratively run CAGED or 3-notes-perstring scales in my playing whatsoever; instead, I focus on smaller "grips" that engage my ear to find the sounds I am seeking. Besides that, I hope my thinking-out-loud duologue and the improvisations will speak for themselves and inspire you experiment for yourself. The voicing grips I used are all in the back of the book (with a few exceptions); I suggest pausing the video if you hear anything that you want to add to your vocabulary.
