Wonderwall by Oasis is usual in the minor key, but today we will run it through each of the 7 different modes of the major scale to get a gauge of how each of these scales can offer us a different mood and degree of tonal brightness.

“So anyway here’s Wonderwall... in Locrian.”
Crowd flees for the hills.
Not at all. Not me , at least.
You win the internet.
Nah man I love Locrian mode.. well only if the bass is a half diminished chord.
only david could get me to listen to wonderwall 7 times
😂😂
nailed!!!
Locrian sounds like what Noel might have come up with if asked to write the theme tune for a Scandinavian crime drama.
accurate.
I, too, thought of a scary movie: Hitchcock, horror, serial killer, monsters.... I loved it!
That’s the early opeth sound
That Major version sounded surprisingly good for a first listen.
And for only changing a single note, that Lydian version was literally a whole new song. Crazy.
Agree it's crazy. I guess it's because not many songs use sharp four and most have normal four... But still
To be fair, he didn't just change the original chords to lydian, but completely altered the chord structure
Yup. Music is crazy. That’s why we love it.🎸
That one changed note is played just about every other note in the song, plus a pedal tone was added on every chord - that’s a quite significant change. Mixolydian, in contrast, changed…hmmm..I see one changed note, near the end.
I concur. The major version (bar that one note) is better imo.
Lydian: "This feels too good to be true."
Ionian: "Things are actually great, and I'm genuinely happy!"
Mixolydian: "The scars haven't faded yet, but I'm happy again."
Dorian: "Times are hard right now, but I have hope."
Aeolian: "Things haven't been okay, for a while, and... I'm not okay anymore."
Phrygian: "Nope! That's it! Screw this! I'm done!"
Locrian: "I'll never taste sweetness again until I drink antifreeze from your skull."
So Paul McCartney and Liam Gallagher both sang popular songs where a word describing a 24-hour period is sung with its first syllable a semitone lower than what's usually notated in sheet music.
That has to be one of the most niche things for two people to have in common.
This sounds like it should be a question in a really hard-core pub quiz. 😄
what's the song paul sings?
@@oravlaful "Yesterday"
To my ear neither Paul nor Liam sing a semitone lower
@@Rene-uz3eb so youre saying david lied
I always wait in anticipation for the Locrian mode in these vid.
I imagine a movie where someone is about to meet an untimely end.
fr it’s like if Andy was hit by a car in toy story
And now let's rewrite Oscar Wilde's classic into an even darker version: Phrygian Gray.
Locrian Gray
Yes, but I daren't even think it.@@campospt2414
💀
HA!!!!!
Yeah but have you met his sister, Lydia Gray?
Original Aeolian (Minor) (Pentatonic): 0:45
Ionian (Major): 1:24
Lydian: 2:54
Mixolydian: 4:02
Aeolian (Minor): 5:54
Dorian: 7:00
Phrygian: 8:50
Locrian: 11:26
Thanks
Merci, another awesome video.
I practice my modes scales in that order that David lists since it makes more sense that playing them as they occur in major keys.
3 things you should know about David Bennett Piano:
He doesn’t like the Beatles
His middle name is Bennett and his last name is Piano
He hates modes, but Locrian is his favorite
thats true
As Mr D B Piano, I can confirm all of those
I forgot one: His sponsorships have no relation to his content
You forgot that he dislikes Radiohead
@@vermillion2023 It really isn't.
This was really interesting. I had learned about all those scales but to hear them put into practice over one song and back to back, really helps to hear the differences. Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to learn more about modes. This was very cool. Thanks for sharing this!
The fact that you explain and show how you actually change the notes to change modes just makes my Life better
I love these types of modes videos, the analysis makes me appreciate both the song and music theory even more. Great Video!
Glad you like them!
your feelings are irrational
? You posted the same reply on other comments@@Fire_Axus
Great idea for a video - really enjoyed it!
This is a great video David. Wonderwall is such a great and identifiable placeholder song to show the tonal qualities of each mode. 👍
absolutely love these videos you shove songs into all of the modes
love this video. i really appreciate the use of a song that doesnt perfectly fit the modes. when i write i tend to limit myself to the rules of whatever scale i find myself in and it hurts for making some things stick and sound unique when they could be. this song gets played so often it's also nice to be reminded of how good it is on a detailed level.
Bravo! Great Video and Explantation, David. And wisely chosen song.
The mixolydian and dorian versions still sound like something Oasis would do. Lydian and phrygian sound more like a Pink Floyd song.
Dorian really fit the lyrics, but I felt the most groovy with the mixolydian. Fully agree with you.
your feelings were irrational
I found the melodies very similar to Little James, from their SOTSOG album.
Pink Floyd often use Dorian
So brilliant when you use a concrete melody like this, so you can fully appreciate the tonal differences the modes create. I've know about modes and have learnt the scales but seeing them in use like this is something else.
Lovely video, David- I absolutely adore Lydian, especially in this video.
This is an excellent video for one who is trying to understand music. I've always wondered what the differences in modes are, and this is an excellent illustration. Good job!
This is the video that finally got me to understand modes lol. Amazing job!
Wow, this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen that clearly explains this topic, and with a fantastic sort of examples too. Thank you, David!
Thank you!
Chapeau! This is surely one of the best explanations of the modes I've seen so far. 👍
Thank you 😊
Brilliant video again David, yours are the best in actually hearing what the modes sound like
Thank you 😊
Great explanation of the modes. Please do more videos like this.
Perfect to find out how each mode operate
I love these multi-mode breakdowns!
Thank you for the video, experimenting with modes is a fun way to put music theory in practice.
David, what an amazing excersise!! This sure helps to understand the modes better.
Glad you found it helpful 😊
This is oddly amazing 🙌🏽🔥👍🏽
Thanks for putting this together, it really helped 🙏🏽
What a cool video! Thanks David
Piece of music at the end is just beautiful and amazing
Great video. Dorian is clearly the mode that fits the melody most naturally
I would 100% argue that the original verse of the song that he’s using *is at least partially in Dorian.*
Even though the IV chord he’s listing is a sus4 and therefore has neither a minor nor a major third, try to imagine either one as a major or a minor chord, and B7 sounds much *much* more fitting than B minor 7…
I’m not able to do a full on musical analysis of the recording, but I can at least *totally* hear a B major tonality with some of those B7sus4 chords, especially since sus chords kind of want to resolve back to the non-suspended version of the chord most of the time.
Obviously, the song isn’t 100% in Dorian at all, considering there’s a D chord in the song that would come from the Aeolian mode, but I definitely hear a Dorian feel to that first verse, even if David isn’t transcribing it by default.
So I feel like that’s the reason that Dorian sounds the most natural. Just replace the B7sus4 chords with B7s and you don’t even have to change anything else, lol.
@@TundieRice I agree, it's much more Dorian than minor. When I think of the progression, I think of it as being the same as the Boulevard of Broken Dreams progression, just more interesting chords lol.
It's in Dorian in the verse, but it switches for the pre-chorus (And all the roads) and in the chorus (because maybe). I actually thought the video would go into this, but it kinda skips over it and none of the versions are actually the original one. Not only does a B7 work better than Bm7 as the final chord, it sounds really good if you play a B11 IMO (at least, when playing it as a loungey piano tune). That gives you the fourth and seventh from the original 7sus4 chord, with the major third thrown in there as well.
Awesome video on modes. Thankyou for showing this with context to enhance my understanding.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Certainly a repeat listen.
Well done.
This video is brilliant. What an excellent way to teach modes
Major scale is brighter , but feels more menacing and sounds like a threat 😂
Bloody better be the day.l
I really enjoy these modal comparison videos.
Excellent lesson/lecture and exceptional choice of music to accentuate points.
Excellent! big thx!
Amazing how changing a few notes changes the feel and mood of the song so much...
It's a brilliant content! It explained so much to me (the modes are not that hard). Thank you!
Interesting how changing that C natural to C# changed the beginning just enough that even the minor scale version sounded a little off
Wonderful Video.
A big help as far as instruction.
This was so enjoyable to watch!
Love the concept of the video. Really useful.
Thanks!
Locrian surprisingly sounded really good
it was fucking sick yeah
Today I discovered your channel, you're the best 🙌
Finally somebody explaining the use of modes in a way that I can really hear and grasp it properly.
Fantastic, thank you! A very entertaining kind of education!! Cheers :)
I absolutely loved the Lydian version! Gave it a spacey, progressive vibe. I was surprised that the major version didn’t really work all that well. You could probably tweak a few additional notes of the vocal melody to make it sound a little better
That's exactly what I felt!
Awesome video, thank you very much!
Really enjoyed that mate. Great video ✌
Thanks 😊
Very interesting, thank you, David.
Amazing work!
Very interesting. Keep them coming.
Love these videos!! :D
It’s funny but no matter which scale is used melody stills owesome. Hell of a masterpiece.
But still analysis…have no words 👌
Im learning so much, thanks
Great video!
This is such a good video. There is so much to learn from this.
I would like to see this with songs of different genres. Everything from Metal, hip-hop, anime themes, Jazz etc. I think this would help us understand what makes a genre sound like it does.
Cause it seems to me that there are some genres that needs to use some scales, otherwise it sounds wrong. Like a metal song using a clean sounding guitar, it dos not sound like metal anymore, now it sounds like surfe rock. But I think the same thing is the case for scales. Can you make a pop-punk song using Lydian, or would it sound like something else?
The aeolian version has such a satisfying resolution that it almost makes me cry 🥹
Dorian to me always sounds like travelling. Or perhaps a montage of industry doing its thing, workers pouring out of a revolving door. Like… it’s bright but also restless.
Definitely one of my favourite modes (and dorian flat-2 gives me that “in a hurry, making stuff happen” feeling even more!)
your feelings are irrational
I don't know if this is easy for all those with armony studies... BUT for the ones that we don't, this is just an open windown to knowledge and understanding. BRILLIANT VIDEO! well done David!
Thank you!!
The chords in the Dorian version are just like the ones in the chorus of Mad World. Who knew that a modal change could relate two wildly different songs... really cool!
Mixolidio 😮😮❤ suena increíble
6:09 That DMaj7 sounded brutal.
I love these videos it would be cool if you did this with the chorus for let's dance by David Bowie
I’m a bassist who kinda knows music theory but also doesn’t. This has probably been the best video I have ever seen explaining the modes as something musical rather than just a set of notes, hopefully if I consider this I’ll be able to make something I actually like the sound of, rather than making something I know should be theoretically possible.
Voice getting modulated as per the mode is what blows my mind, more than anything else.
Thanks David. To have made the choice of this very very popular melody (that everybody in occidental world has in ear, even non-musicians) is a good idea, I will share this and hope that some friends of mine and family will understand the link between modes and emotion. :)
That was amazing
love this
That Dmaj7 chord in the aeolian version sounds gorgeous
I was wondering why the minor modes still sounded off at the beginning. Good to know I’m not losing my mind
same lol
while i was already familliar with the theory and sound of the 7 modes, i sincerly think that this is the best video on the internet to make anyone hear the different colors of each one
Mixolydian sounded genuinely fantastic
Yeah, I asked for more fun with a song in different modes. Thanks! I will surely enjoy the video!
Could you try a version with the modes of melodic and harmonic minor? I'd love to hear what a pop song sounds like in mixolydian flat 6 or lydian dominant!
your feelings would be irrational
OMG I love it in the Locrian scale! Now I want to check out other music in the Locrian scale.
The Phrygian scale gets used all the time with dance music like techno or hard house.
also in heavy metal, specially thrash metal. the flat9 is the signature interval used for the 'anger' mood, so to speak.
@@thomasgorniak7192 nothing like a bit of aggressive thrash metal on the headphones when I am running late for work, gets me there every time.
Do you have any examples of EDM songs in phrygian? I think I'd enjoy those
That Lydian sounds wonderful
That disputed first note reminds me of another video, by someone called David Bennett, discussing a similar issue with Yesterday.
Wonderful video.
I really like this series
this is very cool. all students learning theory should watch this to see why theory teaches understanding of music's moods.
Learning music theory should not be THIS fun! Great video.
Very educational!
This is super cool.
Wow!!! Your song Kneel at the outro is fckn amazing!!
Wich scale is it?
Yeah… the “i don’t believe” bit sounds really good in major😊
Best thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam
Fantastic!
@@DavidBennettPiano David, while I have you here, have you ever heard the band Guster? I think they are probably the most catchy “music theory” American bands ever. Beautiful melodies, Counter melodies galore, harmonically perfect. Just curious! ❤️
It's so hard to catch up on today's UA-cam videos and listen to NFL Football games! 😜 I guess I will have to listen again tonight!!!! 😘😊
I struggle to hear the different modes. Thanks for such a clear example
Lydian is awesome 🤩
The major version is really good.
The lydian version is also very good.
As usual I also love the locrian mode.
