I cannot emphasize enough how important such videos and information are. I've been playing for over 40 years and teaching for a good 30 years. Of course, this is nothing new to me, but I see again and again how such information doesn't just help beginners, as well as advanced players. In fact, such theoretical information opens the door to rediscovering music. And that's what we teach for. Sure, also for the money. But it makes my heart smile when one of my students suddenly rediscovers the music and guitar playing that he loves so much.

@@timpierceguitar I just tried it on a few backing tracks and it opened up the fretboard for me that was indeed transformative. I just never thought to look at it that way, so the concept you put forward expanded my awareness, kinda like teaching us to fish (as opposed to giving us a fish) so instead of having to remember a bunch of patterns and scales (useful of course, and arguably necessary to get from A to B), we remember a concept that we can apply to unlimited examples. So this becomes a purer teaching and really streamlines the process. Thanks again......

As a keyboard player, modes are super easy. Just learn your scales. Once you've got them down, you now can play all of the regular modes. All a mode is, is a scale not starting on the root of the scale.

I’ve always done it this way since i was around 17 its flavours against the diatonic chords that go by if you learn the 5 positions of the pentatonics and then add the additional notes from the major scale plus the blue note i think this sway simplifies it all you get used to the sound/flavor and away your go no need to think about what you actually playing just play what you hear in your head just before you play it kind of thing

Changing the IRs made it pretty usable for me. Bought a few from York, Tonefactor and Eminence. The downside for me is that you can only place one IR at time for each amp model. If I could duplicate the amp modelers, instead of being stuck with the ones I don’t like it would be much more practical.

Nice lesson. I'll checkout the Jam Track. Hey, I agree with your take on modes. But are you saying to not worry about all the chord changes, including the IV ? I know in general I can always play the pentatonic to the key, which would be the Major/ Aeolian thing. I ask because playing along with iReal Pro jazz tracks with lots of chord changes has always been tough.

1. If you play two octave or more, all the modes are CMaj, if you start from D it's Dorian, if in your example, instead of starting withe A, you start with a G it would be mixolydian, nothing new here. 2. This is all well for Major scales - Aeolian and Dorian are minor modes of the Major scale, still Major, for real minor feel we need Melodic/Harmonic minor, than we have very different modes, bus still, if you play the Harmonic minor in 2 octaves or more, you can play all modes in the same position, I'm saying this as a bass player, that at least with 4 strings, don't have 2 octaves in one position, and still, I have scale and degree, for example If I'm in AmMaj7 (Har) and start from E (the fifth) I'll be playing Hijazz (the 5th mode of HarMin). Any way IMO the Phrygian, and Lydian, are also important modes.

@SimpleManGuitars1973
2 күн бұрын
No the chords are C-Am-F-G. So that's a I-VI-IV-V. To make it "modal" he starts his solo on the G which is the V of C. Therefore the mixolydian is a FIFTH scale degree of the "home" key. So if this was the same progression but in D then you would start your solo from the FIFTH scale degree of D which would then be A Mixolydian. So on and so forth. Does that make sense?

It’s ice cream on a slice of pie 😅 Also, it’s an altered scale. For instance Dorian is the same notes as a G scale but it starts on D. Lydian The fourth mode of the major scale, is characterized by a raised fourth, or Lydian 4th. It's often used in jazz. Phrygian Similar to minor, but with a flattened second (♭ˆ2). Aeolian Also known as the natural minor scale, Aeolian starts on A on the white piano keys. Mixolydian The fifth mode of the major scale, Mixolydian starts and ends on the fifth note of the major scale. Ionian Also known as the major scale, Ionian has a step structure of 1-1-1⁄2-1-1-1-1⁄2. Locrian Built on the seventh scale degree of the major scale, Locrian is similar to the natural minor scale but with a lowered second and fifth scale degree.7

The modes are all seven notes of the major scale started on different notes. C Ionian: c d e f g a b c D dorian: d e f g a b c d E Phrygian: e f g a b c d e F Lydian: f g a b c d e f G Mixolydian: g a b c d e f g A Aeolian: a b c d e f g a B Locrian: b c d e f g a b WAIT, ITS ALL THE SAME NOTES! WHY NOT JUST LEARN ONE SCALE? ANSWER: Because they all sound very different? HOW SO? ITS THE SAME NOTES. ANSWER: if you play the major scale from the root (C), the third is a major 3rd and the 7th is a major 7th. But start the scale on the next note and the third is a minor 3rd and the seventh is a dominantt 7th note. so the two scales dont sound anything, and the later is good over minor 7th chords. The best way to hear modes is play all seven at the same root. (not C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, but instead play C Ionian, C dorian, C phrygian, C Lydian, etc.) Your ears will be tickled by the difference. some are major scales , some are minor scales, and one is a diminished scale. DO YOU NEED TO KNOW MODES TO PLAY LEAD GUITAR? ANSWER: NO. But you start to take command of your solos because you understand what you are doing rather than juat playing riffs you have played for years.

2:02 Just Google it: musical scale modes... But, essentially, it's playing the same notes of one particular scale, let's say a c scale, starting on the c, The first note, going up and ending on the c, Is the first mode ; the second mode is playing the same notes, starting on the second note, d, and going up an octave, etc.... So to simplify what he was saying, is that the ionian mode is a natural major scale, the mixolydian is the same one with a flat 7th, the aolian is a natural minor scale, with the minor sixth, the Dorian is a natural minor scale with a major sixth...
