  • Good video. If you flatten the 3rd and the 7th what is that scale, minor seventh or dorian?

  • Man, you're making it more complex than it is. It's really simple. Just take a major scale and play it from each to its octave. Then you'll have the seven modes. That's it. You also can do that with a minor harmonic and minor melodic scale or whatever scale, and you'll find their modes. That's it.

  • my past guitar teacher fucking sucks. he called them in position scales and they were all the modes mixolydian etc and showed me patterns. and now they dont make any sense… I have NO IDEA what this guy is talking about and he jumps straight into it without explanation…. fuck I'm never going to learn this shit

  • what do u mean by playing a whole step up for mixolydian but still using the same root note? that confuses me lol

  • The easist way to understand modes is to start on a different scale degree. e.g, G mixolydian is GABCDEFG, (C scale starting & ending on the 5th degree)

    I DON'T PLAY LIKE MY AUNT LOUISE is a way to remember the order of modes.

    Ionian dorian phrygian lydian mixolydian aolian locrian. Hope I've simplyfied it for you!

  • e flat and d sharp are the same note, that's what I said and it is true. now i know that the e major scale has 4 sharps, but still, e flat and d sharp are the same note. He said e flat because it was easier for him to say that..
    and i do know theory.. even before i started guitar… all i said was that e flat and d sharp are the same note, same pitch.. lol

  • Well done. It's rare to fine someone who approaches these things the right way in terms of only needing to alter a single note of the major or minor scale.

    The only thing I would add, is that it does not matter what note you start or end a scale on. That does not determine what the mode you're playing is. The ONLY thing that determines what mode you are playing is how those notes harmonize with the CHORD they are being played against.

  • that would defeat the purpose of having it called a "LESSON."

  • yes…
    what he said is actually not true… if he wants to label it by fingerings, the best way would be to say that you have to learn the major scale all through the fret board.. and then to be aware that each mode of a single tone is a major scale played in a different place .. like you said.. d major is e dorian..

  • maybe if you mindless idiots knew what he was talking about you wouldn't find it so boring.

  • from what i understand of it… you want to use something in the key of c major

    and you wanted to use the phrygian mode

    you would play c phrygian… not e, because you want it to resolve to a C

    and then you would play chords in the C phrygian and major scale

    so that it would work

    or you could just play power chords and be like every other rock musician that was too busy gettin laid to learn music theory

    but im not 100% sure so if im wrong, by all means tell me im wrong

  • THEY ARE NOT BUT THEY COME FROME THE MAYOR SCALE IF WE LOOK AT THE MAYOR SCALE THE SECOND DEGREE IS DORIAN MODE AND THE FORMULA 1-2-b3-4-5-6-b7 THE CHORDS THAT YOU CAN USE OVER ARE MIN7 (MINOR 7).

  • ur vids are good but you should filter out that humming tone in the background, sounds like a G# in the background all the time

    Reply
  • true. in that context it's usual to call that note a #4 and not a b5. it's important to know that both terms refer to the same note though, because i think what often happens to ppl is that u at some point learn to identify the sound of different notes against the root. a lot of ppl start off pentatonic and learn to know that 'blue' note as "b5"

  • hahaha, nice..

    our drummer was killed in a bizarre gardening accident lol

  • If you don't have a chord to play on there is nothing to understand about modes. The 7 modes are just a major scale. To understand it is critical to have a chord to play on.

    Oh, and nice video, too.

  • yeah, basically,

    ionion = major scale
    dorian = minor 7 scale
    mixo-lydian = dorminant 7th scale
    aeolian = natural minor scale
    locrian = diminished scale

  • modes are actually major scales that starts/ends with other notes that aren't the root note. For example A dorian is actually G major that starts/ends with A instead of rootnote G.
