Everyone should Screenshot 4:00 and save that...just got into scales thanks to this guy..struggled with use of chords though..usually I just use power chords so thank you
Poketrainer92 even as a guy whose taken theory classes and fairly well understands it, definitely screenshot that. Sometimes it's easier just to see rather than think.
I made an iPad app that does this but you can change keys, play the chords and see the seventh variants as well. Probably shouldn't advertise here without consent from Jake so I won't, maybe you can find it on your own if you look for it.
I’ve listened to this 100 times, it is legendary. The whole thing uses the simplest basics, it’s two chords and two scales that share most of the same notes and my main MF man Jake goes into rock god mode with it. This dude is not just a great music instructor but he is a dope artist.
Makes me wanna write a solo just to fit THAT kind of bind. Actually, I've been watching your channel to learn and write sound tracks, a long term project. Hopefully I'll go patreon before long. Thank you.
"Chromatic passage," Jake, these notes just SOAR. You have a gift in explaining modes and how to think about them. Thanks, Jake! I learn much from you!
@@blackcitadel37 That's what I'm working towards here! Still have to do a proper video on Modal Interchange and Inversions, then the heavy duty songwriting stuff will be out of the way, then I can move on to the weird stuff!
Dude! You topped all your amazing lessons. This is hands down your best lesson. There's so much to learn here. Your ability to articulate and simplify all of this - is just incredible. Truly a great lesson. Any musician should watch this.
I am saying this with my heart, you are the best music theory teacher on UA-cam. I haven't seen any better videos than yours. I don't joke, you are the best!!!
One of the things I love most about music is that even after 30+ years playing, I can stumble onto something that I haven't used that much and it makes me excited to do some more writing & improvising. Thanks for the cool vid!
I played guitar for over 15 years, and did my best to learn by ear. I got so good at one point I was able to transcribe solos from dimebag Darrell randy Rhodes by ear. But I could never tell you much about music theory, modal interchange or anything like that. I always had my own theories about how things worked, and this video really just blew me away. How did I never venture out? Learn this stuff at a younger age? I always thought music theory was too expensive growing up or that everything that I wanted to learn would eventually come to me either through practicing or watching old guitar tutorials on how to play.
I used to teach music at a community college. I thought I was a pretty studly instructor. But you, my friend, are the real deal. I learn so much from you, and I love your friendly, clear presentation style. As other have said, "Please never stop making these videos!"
WHAT THE HELL dude, you just gave me the answer I'm looking for years in complete details. I always intrigued by that dreamy sounds but I'm completely clueless. Definitely will subs.
Teaching is not for everyone...and this guy proves it...modal mixture is not an easy thing to do... improvisation will come later only if you know the theory or basics ...but the way this guy teach its like a piece of cake and so clear and prompt..thank you sir for sharing the knowledge... love and respect 🙂🙏🏻
I’ve been watching everyone on UA-cam trying to explain modes. They all ramble and ramble. Then there is you. Well done my friend, and thank you. Really not that complicated the way you demonstrate.
The solo intro alone made me subscribe. Then the fact that you just straight face look at the camera while explaining everything and playing stuff I can't even play when I'm completely focused. Top notch you are a natural teacher.
The only one i know of who focuses on the feeling of all those things. Most people on youtube focus on the academics which are fine but, when i learn from you i can use what i learn immediately! Thank you for everything!
This is probably one of my favorite guitar lessons ever. I love how he plays examples of the concept he just brilliantly explained, but doesn’t do much vibrato, instead he plays all sorts of techniques, easier to understand but still soulful. Really nice.
for about two years now I've *almost* understood the basics of music theory. Binged two hours worth of your content today and had a breakthrough. You're an excellent teacher!
I have to admit. I love music since the day I was born. I did struggle for good 40 some years before I found this brilliant videos . It made me rocketing for an instance. Incredible talanted teacher!!! Huge thanks !!!
One of the best guitar instruction videos and instructors I've seen on UA-cam. Really great job and attitude. I've been playing and performing for about 59 years and found this very useful.
Been playing for 22 years now and watching your videos STILL help a great deal toward my playing. I never actually discovered this feel of playing until now, thank you!
Sir, you are amazing! Great lesson with very accessible language, as always. You were the first teacher that actually made me understand modes, and now you it gets even better with this video :D thank you!
Bending through the change is something I love to hear in Billy Corgans playing, it really gives it that interesting feel that totally grabs your attention during a solo even if you’re not necessarily listening to a songs solo it’s definitely something that says to you “hey I’m playing between chords right now and you’re going to listen to me” it has that same euphoric effect that drawn out unison bends have in my opinion. Best lesson so far thank you !
You frequently make me smile. There's just so much emotion in what you play, and I especially noticed it in this video. At the one part, the simple drum pattern lined up so nicely with your example, and it just felt like it should've been in a song. It makes me feel like I would really enjoy being the drummer in your band if you would ever write solos that you could play the same way every time, even though I feel like you're a big fan of improv. You should definitely write more full-length songs that we can buy.
I have been following your channel for quite sometime and genuinely no other guitar channel seem as useful as yours. Honestly man. Keep up the good work. 👍
ScifiSaints ikr. my buddy is an amazing progressive metal guitarist and he said he’s never uses locrian on anything. he plays phrygian dominant almost always. either way locrian ♮2, or even a super locrian bb7 always has a place in my music.
Yeah I was thinking the same, and decided to experiment to see if I could find a nice way to utilize it. Seems like Lydian to Locrian could work very well since they both have the tritone above the root and the shift from major to diminished in the root chords is also pretty tasty. That flat 2nd in Locrian is also always fun. On the other hand, playing in Dorian #11 instead of Locrian over the diminished chord also sounds super cool.
Hey Brother. your videos are WOW. Probably the only channel in modern era (along NELLY) WHICH shares such DEEP-STUFF. I'm from India. INDIAN-MUSIC has many exotic scales (also known as RAGAAS). Plz listen to them , and make a comparison videos.. bcz in WESTERN Modes, you only play Notes Of that Mode.. but in RAAG you have to play it's ASCENDING & DESCENDING differently.. it gives a different Mood. All the best.👌🏾😁
Jake, thanks. You explained something i thought i knew, but didn't. It's like I now know how to get where I want to be: hearing my way through changes, etc. and hearing the finer points which to the educated ear cannot be faked. The way you take a small line through the chords is the most valid way to learn how to play through changes simply because you have to. This helped me. I know all the theory but proving its efficacy is another story. There are levels of understanding the modes. Most people have a generalized understanding but cant apply the theory live in unfamiliar territory simply by ear. This is actually the best training technique because the player proves their ability live and is limitless in possibility/creativity.
I've blended my definition of Picardy Third to include some instances when we're in minor and borrow the Major I chord (since the effect is so similar), so I classify the GoT theme as being modal mixturish and picardy thirdish.
Jake, I think you're the best guitar teacher of all time! (And I taught guitar and bass for a number of years.) You teach musical wisdom in addition to the theory. Your explanations are beautifully simple and to the point. Your knowledge of scales is awesome. The videos are creative and your sense of humor makes it all perfect! Thank you, from guitarists everywhere!
In the famous words of Neil Young - "I've been a miner for a minor mo-ode......and I'm gettin' old....." da-da-da-da-da. Great lesson as always. *Thanks Jake!*
Really been enjoying your videos on the different modes. And I APPRECIATE GREATLY how when you say you're changing something then ACTUALLY play it that way so we can hear the change. You're a fantastic teacher. Thank you very much.
let me express my sincere gratitude and respect to you sir... you are the only youtuber actually dedicated to teaching music theory in detail..... ive seen some others teach like you ... but they dont go as indepth and dont cover a lot .... and from all the positive comments here... makes me feel so warm as a part of this family .... thank you :)
I think your channel has been the most detrimental both for me and I am sure for many people. You explain things sooo easy that are very understandable
It’s funny, when you jump from A Major to Minor it sounds extremely interesting. Sexy and otherworldly. When you it goes from A Minor to A Major it sounds SO cheesy lmao. It’s funny how that works.
You're such a nice teacher! Others show off their skill and play all this advanced stuff without explaining step by step so you just feel daunted by the whole thing. You just are really nice and only play something that applies to what you're teaching! Thanks so much man, keep making these videos!
Dude you're ability to clearly express what I would call more advanced techniques, is astounding. Hopefully your getting paid well enough to live off of. Keep teaching my man!
The best thing about you Jake is that you explain the tough concepts in a super simple manner that most of us can decipher the underlying meaning and utility of the lesson!!! Thank you for all the effort :)
I think I've said it before on another video, but this channel is so amazing, the fact that this resource is free is just awesome for people like me who wanna learn music theory but dont have the time / money to take a course. 10/10, def subscribe if you're a music lover
This reminds me of what I call the Radiohead chord change (I'm aware they aren't the only band to use it but it's literally everywhere in their discography). Where you either change the "gender" of the chord. Example: in Creep the last 2 chords are both C but it changes from C major to C minor. Or when you start with a minor chord and resolve down one semi tone but with a major chord.
Dude I've been watching tons of videos on modal mixture for the last week trying to understand it then yours appears and answers all my questions ! You make everything so understandable, it's crazy. Thank you so much, you're awesome !!
Your chalkboard split screen is half of each lesson. You have what nobody else other than fretjam has...great instruction with real time visuals. Masterclass.
I discovered your channel during the Corona lockdown. To me, your tutorials are more helpful and much more fun than all my books on music theory and improvisation combined! I can't thank you enough. All the best from a very grateful reed player! Please keep up the good work.
Men! I've heard this thing in so many songs and I wondered how they are doing this. This is literally the best guitar lesson I have seen on UA-cam in years! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I have watched a lot of how to stay in key, and that is great but I don’t see many people adding this extra spice. This short video opens a pretty huge door of possibilities for me 🔥
This is by far the best lesson I've ever received. UA-cam or in person. You're BY FAR the best guitar teacher on youtube, you dive into theory for advanced players but also explain it for newbies. You explain all of the useful concepts and how to apply them. I have a whole concept album I'm trying to write and half of the songs are just me experimenting with all the tools you give. Thank you so much

You can also remember it based on the cycle it goes through and it’s names in that cycle. If you want to remember it by memory.
Funny, I did exactly that when I saw it!

Or his fingers cramped in that position :)
When he plays "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd...
lol!
He's playing Sunn O)))
WHAT THE HELL dude, you just gave me the answer I'm looking for years in complete details. I always intrigued by that dreamy sounds but I'm completely clueless. Definitely will subs.
AWESOME! Love the chromatic bend that makes the changes. Hard to improv with it unless you practice it a million times.
Arpeggios and pentatonic scales can make it easier i think.
I've learned more about music from two months of watching this channel than I have in almost 20 years of being alive.
I love using Locrian to enter leads.
Ex: if you're in Am, use the B Locrian arpeggio (B-D-F-A-B) to start a lead run. It has a unique sound.
Isn't that a Bm7b5 chord?
Cris KRA which is what you play locrian over that b5

You explain all of the useful concepts and how to apply them. I have a whole concept album I'm trying to write and half of the songs are just me experimenting with all the tools you give. Thank you so much
He did it again! Taking something that seems complex and making it understandable. Love this channel.
