Great videos. I’m a visual learner so the way the information is presented helps me to ‘see’ what you are saying and allow me to see the patterns etc. But I do have a question about the modes that always trips me up and so I tend to give up. Towards the beginning you show the scales in steps/half steps etc, and then show that as the starting position changes we play the different modes. My takeaway from that was we are always playing the exact same notes in a scale, but starting in different positions. But then you talk about ‘flattening’ notes etc. and this is where I get tripped up. So my question is, are we playing the exact same notes in the scale but in different positions, or are some notes different than the normal scale in places for the different modes? I hope that makes sense lol
@fretscience
8 ай бұрын
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for your question. They are two different ways of looking at the same thing. Any two modes with the same note name but different modal name will contain different notes…G Mixolydian is the same notes as G Major, except with a flattened 7. But it’s also true that G Mixolydian has the exact same notes as C Major, since G is the fifth note of the C Major scale. I’ve found that the mental model based on intervals is more useful for playing music most of the time, and it’s a little bit easier to use in practice, so I recommend focusing on that viewpoint.

My next logical question is what chords go with each mode? From Ionian to Dorian and so on... how the chord choices change... Your explanation is unmatched. Thank you so much!
@fretscience
Жыл бұрын
Thanks, Grant! There are endless answers to your question. Here are a few basic guidelines. For an isolated chord, typically you would use a mode that contains the notes of the chord being played and shares the same root. So D Mixolydian over a D7, F Lydian or F Ionian over an Fmaj7, C Dorian, Aeolian, or Phrygian over a Cm7. Locrian goes with a m7b5 chord. If you’re playing over a major triad, any of the major modes may fit, and whether they “work” or not may depend on the other chords in the chord progression, but none of their notes will directly clash with the triad. Same idea for the minor modes and a minor triad, or Locrian over a diminished triad. When playing over a progression, there are many different ways to think about it. For example, over a ii V7 I in A, you could just play A Ionian over the whole thing, or you could think of it as B Dorian, then E Mixolydian and then A Ionian. Or you could just use pentatonic scales and target chord tones. Like I said, endless answers…I’ll definitely cover some of them in future videos

There are several notes in the major scale that can be raised or lowered by one semitone (one fret) to make the other modes. Lowering the 7th scale degree (making a major seventh into a minor seventh) changes the major scale into the Mixolydian mode. We call it “flattening” because in music notation, the B note in the C major scale becomes a B flat. I hope that helps! 🎸🧪🤘

@fretscience now you've confused me. Dorian has the notes shifted to the right and mixolydian has them shifted to the left. So in what way are they the same? Unless you're saying G mixo is similar to D Dorian. But if I play D Dorian with my pointer finger on the 10th fret, the D mixo will be completely different shapes, eh?
@fretscience
Жыл бұрын
They have their roots in different positions inside the rectangle and stack because Dorian is built off of the minor pentatonic and Mixo is built off major. It can be a brain-twister to visualize, but they end up being exactly the same notes except for the third. As an example, build Mixo off of Form 1 major pentatonic and Dorian off of Form 5 minor pentatonic (to get the roots to line up). Or Mixo off Form 2 and Dorian off Form 1. The way I’ve described it is a bit “academic”, but in practice you can substitute Dorian for Mixo as long as you give the minor thirds a little bend, and the result sounds super bluesy. I hope that makes a little more sense

@metal1mark73 take a look at the recommended viewing order on fretscience.com - I suspect you can deepen your knowledge of the pentatonic scale using the rectangle and stack method I teach, and then you will be able to use the “hidden in plain sight” method to learn the modes in minutes. And then, you can layer 3nps and CAGED on top of that. It’s all there in the recommended viewing order
