Thanks for the help.

I didn't get back to see the final few posts on this thread (up to now. It's seems fairly complete, though).

Anyway, I just wanted to say, yep, you got it. Keep it simple. Modes and intervals and scale talk are just examples of theory. Theory doesn't make any music, you do. Theory is only a way of learning how to communicate what you hear.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
