In roots music, the word “modal” usually does not refer to a specific classical mode, but to a tonality that often uses the flatted seventh and either the flatted third or major third (and sometimes both). Chad explains the sound, which is sometimes called “mountain modal” and shows you the D modal scales, one with the major third and one with the minor third. He also shows you how to add drones on the A and D strings, slides and hammer-ons, and unison drones, as well as where to find the notes in second and third positions.
