Most intermediate players know scales. Advanced players know modes over chords . Ziv gives you a backing track that stays on a single C major chord, then a C minor chord, then a C suspended chord. Using the Navigator, you will physically shift your hand by half-steps to move from C Ionian -> C Lydian -> C Mixolydian while the bass note never changes. This is the holy grail of modal improvisation.

This is the heart of the course. Ziv introduces his proprietary visual system to help you navigate the fretboard without getting lost. By anchoring your vision to specific root-note skeletons and intervals, you can instantly shift from a dark Phrygian sound to a bright Lydian sound over the same root note. 3.
