In my current understanding modes need a backing to express themselves. Though my music tutor told me you can play a mode with no backing, and just the single note lines.
Can anyone give me an example or exercise to realize this? When I play a scale, I’m very anchored to the basic major and minor resolution, I can change from A minor and C major with a bit of note repetition, but the other modes seem very hard to hear using just a single line of notes with no background contrast. Is it just lack of experience playing them?
