6.31The scale-per-chord trap becomes especially dangerous here

If every chord triggers:

“new mode!”

you will always be late.

The harmony moves faster than your intellectual labeling.

Instead:

  1. identify destination key
  2. know guide tones
  3. target important notes
  4. use local scale material between them

That is much more playable.
