An easy way for me to figure out which modes are in a certain key is a simple matter of intervals and arithmetic. For example, if you want to find the Dorian mode, it's 2 frets up and 10 down. Phrygian mode is 4 frets up and 8 down, mixolydian mode is 7 frets up and 5 down and Aeolian is 9 up and 3 down. And you only have to memorize one direction, since the other direction will be 12 minus that number.

If you can’t argue reason with anything other than based statements to try and make yourself sound intelligent then you are neither adult nor offering constructive anything. Your initial comment was an attack on the creators motives based on nothing but assumptions of your own. Also based on your own assumptions of his financial situations which are based on nothing but what you’ve conjured up in your head. Whining about cost while clearly knowing nothing about the value of what that cost covers. Next time you want to offer an opinion have some facts and have some tact and you won’t get called for bullshit. I personally don’t care if I sway your opinion or not. You should heed your own advice when commenting on other people’s comments instead of being a hypocritical ass. The guy works his ass off. The fact that you get any of his knowledge for free is your own luck. Yes he’s marketing himself but he deserves to make money. The value of the course is very reasonable. Whether you can afford it or not is entirely up to you. But don’t act like the only reason you don’t is because it’s ridiculous to think someone would pay for it.

Just a note for anyone who might be struggling with getting the first drills up to speed. You should practice it starting on an upstroke just make sure you are using upward pick slanting (which Brandon clearly is). If you are unable to do that you can use downward pick slanting just make sure you start on a downstroke at that point. I agree with Brandon that starting on an upstroke is better for those examples as you end up getting better economy of motion, but most of the students I’ve had that are beginners/intermediate players have a tough time starting any exercise on an upstroke. For anyone who is unaware what i mean by pick slanting check out Troy Grady’s channel he really is the authority on explaining that.

The way a teacher once explained modes to me was very simple. If I recall, he showed how playing the same scale (starting on a different note of the scale, OVER a drone note) allows you to hear the typical sound of that mode. So probably he played a drone C, and I played the C major scale over the top, first starting on root note C to hear the Ionian mode, then the same C scale but starting on the D note, all this playing over the drone C... it was like that. You really get to hear what the character of the mode is, and it's very understandable. I suppose the next step would be not to play a drone C but play a song IN C major, and then play a mode scale around that to change up the mood of the same song. (Probably... it was a long time ago, I forgot yo!)

Cool lesson appreciate the attention to detail. I had questions on the positions names you gave. Why are you giving the 5 positions modal names rather than 1-5? I get the 5 positions start on each of the 5 notes of any given root which in case becomes the given mode (scale degree) but that probably overwhelms/confuses a lot of beginners and loses em at level 1 yanno? Since the mode names are used to describe the intervallic structure of the positions relative to the root note, but they don't change the fact that you're playing/getting the major pentatonic scale tonality, so what was the reason for that? Didn’t catch where you’d explain why you did. Thanks!

I cbf to look back in the video and confirm this cause I'm too busy smoking CIGARETTES, but it might be a good exercise for you: He's probably naming them based off scale characteristics. Eg. minor scale has a minor (short interval, 3 semitones above root note) 3rd, major scale has a major (long interval, 4 semitones above root) 3rd. Minor scale also has a minor 6th, major has a major 6th. Dorian has a minor 3rd but a major 6th. You can google "aeolian/dorian/phrygian/etc scale/mode characteristics" for the characteristics of each and double check with the corresponding pentatonic shape to confirm.

I know you explained what to do for the Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, and mixolydian shape. But what about the major scale? Do you just play the key your given in ?

I use the CAGED system names. E form, D form, etc. I know that the CAGED system is flawed, but it’s really just about associating a root, with a finger, with a shape/form. Example: third finger, root on A string = C form. First finger, root on A string = A form. Fourth finger, root on low E string = G form. Etc.
