It seems that as it is said here: The other approach is called the vertical approach, in which you play a different scale over each chord. So with the same progression you would use the following scales over each chord: Cmaj7 (C Ionian mode), Dm7 (D Dorian mode), Fmaj7 (F Lydian mode), G7 (G Mixolydian mode). This approach is usefully because using a different scale over every chord will help you outline the harmony a lot clearer because each chord has a mode played over it that highlights that chord’s tones. That it is superior sounding to use different scales over each chord, but all these scale encompass the same notes (The notes of a C major scale) so how would this make a difference? It's not as if you're changing the scale just what your calling it and its tonic note. I don’t understand the difference between horizontal and vertical approaches. It seems that as it is said here:
