What are modes?

So I've been playing guitar for some months now, but I keep seeing the word "modes" and stuff like that come up here, which my guitar teacher never said anything about.

My question is: What are modes? What are they used for? Why are they here? And why hasn't my teacher talked about them yet?

good question! theres some lessons on modes on here. hopefully theyre helpful. your teacher hasnt mentioned them either because youre not advanced yet or hes a bad teacher. but since youve only been playing a short while its probably because youre not advanced enough yet

Thank you. :) I'll check out those lessons.
