You know what Lydian is. Now play Bb Lydian, anywhere on the neck, without working it out first.
That's where most guitarists who've studied modes come unstuck. The theory is solid — you can explain where Lydian comes from and how Dorian differs from Aeolian. Asked to actually use it, you find one pattern, stay in it, and the line comes out sounding forced. That's not a theory problem, and more theory won't fix it.
This is a visual method for playing any major scale mode from any root, anywhere on the fretboard, with no working out in your head. Two sections: the more you practise the first, the more effective the second becomes. If you get lost, which is hard to do, you go back to the first and practise more.
Not a modal theory book — Quickstart Guides: Modes is that. This is the part where the theory gets onto the fretboard and becomes something you can use. If you're studying modes elsewhere, it works well alongside.
