Modal chord shapes

  • Scale shapes by themselves are not necessarily "modes." The 7 scale shapes, however, CAN sound the 7 modes if you provide some proper chordal context. Try these chord examples and you'll hear it!
    For more, check out the book "Voicing Modes"

    This helped me more than just about everything I've tried to learn about modes over the last 30yrs.

    To everyone thinking about buying the book:
    DEFINITELY DO IT! The book is amazing and has so much more than you can imagine. Lots of food for thought, if i may...
    Just go ahead and thank me later.

    Great lesson Noel, thank you! The interval visualisations with the coloured billiard balls at the bottom is a very cool touch by the way, the extra point of reference it provides, does seem to help my brain assimilate the information a bit faster.

    i realized a very similar concept while practicing modes on keyboard, what I did was use the root as a pedal tone and then play what I call the defining triads over that pedal to give me the sound of the mode I want to play, I never got to translate that concept to guitar until now, thanks for this, just found your channel and I love it.

    Thanks - doing the exact same lesson (with pedal point) for the minor modes would be super helpful
    is it possible to get a higher resolution graphic of the chord shapes with corresponding scales ?

    Hi! Thanks for the informative lesson! 🙌🏻 I am curious, tho.
    The A Aeolian chord - why do you have the #5/b6 and the 2 on that chord? Couldn't we just have a regular A minor or a minor 7?
    Thanks!

    • @nohjoh08
      @nohjoh08  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes. Good question! mi7 could work over a Dorian or a Phrygian as well. I picked a chord that was really specific to the Aeolian sound. 1,2,5,b6 (“Asus2(b6) which looks like a G13/A without a G, or an Fmaj7#11(no5)/A) lol!
      Every chord I played was mode-specific (except the chord I played for Ionian technically could work over the 4 chord as well)

    Hi Noel. Which book is that diagram in? I've looked through voicing modes and can't see it.

      Hi, those shapes are all in the “Voicing Modes” book, just not laid out all together on a single page like this. Let me know which one(s) you need to locate and I’ll help out.
