By far the best explanation I have found on how to actually apply modes rather than just knowing them!
There is an expression that says, being a great guitarist doesn't make you a great teacher. However you are clearly both. Many thanks for the lessons.
I subscribed to your page about a week before todays date and i must say that i've learned more this week than in the last 2 years i've been playing. Thank you for being a great teacher, your videos make it easy for me to learn...
Cool dude, this is EXACTLY how I figured out how to use modes! I just studied the modes for a while and then figured out, "oh, so I can just take the pentatonic scale and add certain notes to it..." a simple revelation, to be sure, but one that opened up my playing a ton.
I've been playing for years too and no-one else has explained like you have, I have actually learnt something tonight! thanx man.
thank you very much for focusing on and actually talking about the musicality of using the modes. too many players just focus on mindless scales and dont spend nearly as much time on making them musical.
I found this video to be very helpful. It provides the scale, but at the same time lets you add a bit to what should be already "in the fingers", making modes accessible and familiar at almost the same time. Excellent!
I so wish I was still playing. It's such a great time to be a guitarist. So much information and tools available. Your videos are so clear and well done.
you don't have idea how much you are helping me with these videos, i'm trying to learn to improvise and your videos are the best, please keep doing these modal lessons thank you,and 5 stars..... of course!!
FANTASTIC !! I have been scared of modes all my life. You make it so easy. What is MORE is that your teaching makes me WANT TO PLAY.
Great job !
Adding just one extra note at a time to pentatonic scale is some clever stuff. All of a sudden, Santana-type repeating licks just suggested themselves as I was shagging around the shape. Brilliant lesson. Many many thanks and kisses from Belgium.
That helped soooo much, seriously! I'm a HEAVY minor pentatonic soloist, and I've been trying to understand modes but it is just so difficult for me to grasp right away since it's relatively new to me. Thank you very much for taking the time to teach this and post it!
This really explains how to get into more modal playing so well. You are correct in identifying the two box theory and this easy assimilation method gets one into the water and swimming!
Dude, where were you 25 years ago. Modes have always blown my mind, particularly because I didn't have a teacher to put it in terms I could understand. Kudos my friend. You did it.
after watching mode lessons from 5 different channels and and coming out completely mindfkd, I come here and see 2 of your mode lessons, and I understand it so easily now. You Rock Dude!
I just found your lessons and subscribed. Finally someone has put forth a simple way of getting into modal playing. Thanks, pal!
This was really a useful lesson. Very well explained - I think that the idea of adding one note at a time to the tried-and-true minor pentatonic is a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. As far as I am concerned, this is what the internet (and UA-cam) is really all about!
Fantastic teacher ..showing great ways to stretch your playing in easy ways.
Your lessons are bang on!
I'm a keyboard player myself but wow did this video help a lot. Basing the playing around a pentatonic scale and adding hints of modal flavor is brilliant! A big problem I was having was that i sounded like I was just running up and down 7 note modal scales. With this technique, I'll have the ease of playing a pentatonic scale but with the complexity of modality layered on top.
thanks for making a difficult subject much easier to digest. thats how some of us need to approach learning the guitar. your doing us a great favor. thanks again.
good advice. the scope of modes as a whole can be daunting. Focusing on the notes in a mode that make that mode what it is, is a simplified and more useful approach. great short vid.
Man, you really nailed my problem! Stuck in the boiler plate pento blues box, then trying to go modal, and just running the scale. Fun at first, but ultimately pretty generic. What you're showing here will keep me busy for months! I FEEL A BREAKTHROUGH COMIN' ON! noticeable improvement after about an hour. WOW, This is gonna be fun! Thank you my friend.
I remember watching this video a few years ago , it made me level up as a guitar player since then .
This explanation made perfect sense. I had been looking for this type of example to allow me to understand how to think in both terms of pentatonic and modes. Glad I saw this video, will be back to see more of your vids soon.
When I decided to get a proper guitar teacher, he did the most awesome thing (I didn't fully undertand the value untill recently), he taught me the C mayor scale, and then the modes of C on the fretboard, but he said "dont think about modes right now, think about it as playing all the "white" notes on the fretboard.
BOOM, when I learned the shapes I understood that I could play in any key in any mode or scale anywhere on the fretboard. Plus I could tell all the notes on the fretboard.
This really helps take the mystery out of modal playing,i kinder do this anyway, but haven't a clue which mode the extra notes belong to, some one once said to me"there aren't any wrong notes, just notes in the wrong place.
Hi David,
You've just unlocked modes for me in the most straightforward way. It all makes sense now. I've spent years running and memorising the shapes but wasn't able to contextualise it or see a way to make it useable until now. So I'm going to go right back to basics with your approach. Thank you for clearing up the mystery.
Hi David. I'd like to thank you for your efforts in these tuition videos. I've looked at a lot of teachers in YT and your videos are the most easy to understand by far(you have a talent). I've learnt a lot from your examples and concidering I've been playing for forty odd years, thinking I'd learned pretty much all I needed to learn. Wrong! Just goes to show. lol Keep em coming for all these young guys starting out mate.
What a wonderful way of teaching you have! Learned so much already.
Excellent cours. Des heures et des jours de travail résumés, distillés et transmis en à peine 5 minutes. Chapeau et merci beaucoup.
Merci à toi! ;)
***** Hey David, thanks for all you do. A few questions.. I know we can take, for example, the I, IV, and V chords from a major scale and make a popular chord progression, but how does it work for a minor scale or any of the modes besides Ionian? For example, the song Smells Like Teen Sprit which has a basic riff of F-B♭-A♭-D♭. What scale would that progression be from F major or F minor (and how would it be numbered) since the first chord is an F power chord and not technically F minor but the other 3 chords are found in the F minor scale.. not F major? Also, when we are in a minor key do we simply number the chords starting with the minor root, the same as if it were in a major key? That's probably confusing, they way I worded all that but if you can make sense of it I'd appreciate any help.
Best Instructional Video on this subject i have seen Thanks!
Love your work!
wonderful and easy as always with David...thanks for the lesson.
David you are a great teacher. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
This way of understanding modes is fantastic ;)
excellent lesson i can really relate to this i know my pentatonic shapes well enough but Walliman you made it easy.This way i can internalise the color of each extra note
Thanks Walliman again for your efforts. I dont know how I missed this video but you gave me an amazing opinion about playing modally. Keep up the good work mate!
thank you for the tip of ''building'' the mode one note at time over the pentatonics....Ill try it tonight
Brilliant explanation! Thanks for posting David. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for these lessons and your time! I have been stuck on trying to learn modes and for me it's just been "patterns"... and thinking each chord of a song i had to switch to a different pattern... Sounded disconnected...i like how you are teaching that they blend together. Slowly unlocking the fretboard!
Every friday I watch you and learn new things Thank you I could use God bless you (metaphore) All I mean is thank you :)
Thanks David ! In my ongoing battle with scales, etc. this was a exciting eye-opener. I pulled up one of your past pieces, "Aeolian Island groove " and jammed your fresh ideas over it in the E flat Aeolian. If you have anything else in your arsenal using this type of parsing concept, I would be pleased to hear about it. Great lesson. The mode thing usually shifts my brain in reverse and my eyes to glaze over as my tongue lolls out the side of my drooling mouth as basic comprehension escapes me. I feel like I am making some real good improv with this lesson. Thanks again.
Yup couldn't agree more my friend. i feel the exsact same as you here.this has opened so many doors for me.
the modes always confused me but the more i watch these vids the more im getting to grips with modal playing.
Would love to see more vids on this topic.
Nice work--you are an excellent teacher. This is completely doable.
Very eye-opener for a beginner in modes, thnx a lot dude. Keep up the good work.
Because of this simple but helpful video you've got my subscription! Cheers!
Awesome like always ,you,r my favorite on youtube ..you have the secret to makes what is difficult very easy to understand , thats the reason why so many players like your videos ..
Great job Bud ,et a tres bientot une nouvelle video
incredible! you made it so clear for me now.. I really like you teaching style! Rock on!!!
This is great. I was trying to memorize boxes, which ended up just being major scales with no tonic note to it and I was wasting my time. Thanks!
it's a good idea to start that way I guess. You can think of them as just "shapes" for a while, until you know how they sound and can use them. But eventually you would want to use them all over the fretboard. Also, you can actually play all the modes in one position of the fretboard, simply by focusing on different notes. I learned it the way you described though. That allowed me to understand the sound and shape of them, and then later on I learned them all over the fretboard. Good luck man.
David
Top stuff! I've just started looking at modes and to be honest it's burstin' my melon! The way you got it across here was really useful. Cheers!
Georgie Boy
Ya learn something new everyday... This was that thing. Thank you. Easy lesson Great
You definetely know how to teach! Thanks mate.
wauw , nice!!!! this is a perfect way to get into the modes by practicing.
3:52 arg. holding a m6 over the root minor chord is like fingernails on chalkboard. it could work over the 4 but holding it over the 1 will suck very hard.
I was looking for this comment :)!
technically, beauty is in the ear of the beholder but the chord kind of dictates what sounds good over it. If you want dissonance, then maybe it could work. If you had only root and m3 in the chords then holding that m6 would work because there is no 5 to clash and the m6 then alters the chord to an F, say, in the key of A minor. Bottom line.... chords/key are your guide to what notes fit when. Just like you wouldn't play a sharp root over a maj chord if you wanted it to sound pleasant and calm.
I’m a little late here but I thought it sounded dope
Thanks Dave you articulated what l am already doing which helped me understand the process a bit better; by the way very nice playing.Will check out your other stuff now.
sooooooooo helpful!!!
thanks man, that was really great. made me understand it so much better now.
great teacher!!
wow this is such an awsome way too see intervals in a more creative way and modal use =]
I like that approach. I use it alot. It really works well with the natual minor, the 9th and 6th notes really give a true "minor" or "sad" if thats what your looking for, feel. BTW, your vids are great stuff. Keep up the good work!
I was doing it that way for a while too. But then I got into jazz and fusion, and having to look at a chord, figure out what mode works over it and then transpose back to major scale made soloing too mentally taxing at high tempos. But then if you simply know each mode all over the neck, it's an instant eyes-chord-brain-hands movement. Soloing is much smoother because you have that extra second to think about the notes instead of doing math in your head. Plus, the chords are outlined better.
Dave, thanks so much for this vid. I have played blues and modes for a long time, but, as you mention - I fall into that modal scale playing or blues scale playing and have a hard time mixing the two in a real musical way. I'm going to use this approach and see if it works better for me. Thanks again!
omg its like a breath of fresh air! thank you so much!
thanks man thats a really sweet way to approach modes!
based on what you ve stated here, can you identify the mode by which note becomes the root of the original scale you start with...... start with an a Major Pentatonic scale and change each interval to the root note from the original scale. Can you be confident that the root change automatically leans itself to a individual mode because of the positioning of the other notes in interval alterations.
Means nothing if you don't understand that the chords give the color of the mode, not the scale shape. I use the Locrian shape as well as all the other shapes up/down the neck for any mode i'm in. ex, Am/D progression (Evil Ways), I can then determine its A dorian mode, so I identify the root (Gmajor), so I can use A Dorian shape, B Phrygian, C Lydian, D mixolydian, E minor, and finally, F# locrian shape. All same notes inverted!
Brother this is a excellent lesson. Thank you
Pretty impressive....
You da man, and instructor....
Very interesting approach, I liked it a lot. Thumbs up for this one!
Thanks for your time! Enjoyed and learned.
im impressed David, you have a good approach.
keep up the good work.
thank u from Italy!!!!!
First, I'm glad I found your lessons I have been looking for someone to lay out the modes this way. It allows us Rock Blues guys to get started using modes without completely changing your technique right away. have you made a video using the major pentatonic scale and the major modes?
I found listening to artist that use modes in their playing in a Rockblues context makes this transition easier. I think Jeff Beck is ideal to help with this transition.
awesome lesson david, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
To add to what David said, the most obvious reason for seeing them as separate things is when you're soloing over fast changes (maybe with other people) and they've given you a chord sheet and you're playing along, but then your solo comes. If you do it your way, then every time you see a chord that requires a modal interchange, you'd have to transpose it back to the major scale in your head. If you need lydian over something, you'd be like "ok, count 4 down from that". Too much mental stress.
Dude, the Parker Flys are awesome.
Nice guitar lesson. Thanks!
Learning the mode scale is not too hard. I bought the backing track, so my practices are all the more meaningful.
However, it get's boring just playing a Dm Aeolian over the backing track. I would like to add a few doubles and triads in maybe some full chords. What chords should I be playing ? What triads should I work with - I obviously need a little tuition here.
Thanks !
Very good lessons.
Awesome and very clear. Thanks!
This is so useful , thank you !
I have a very poor memory. So to play modes I simply do the following. Take Dorian. It runs from the 2nd major scale degree thru to the octave. When playing the A major scale for example (in 4 fret box mode) what finger plays the 2nd scale degree? In my case I play the root with the middle so I use the pinky for the 2nd. OK, so to play A Dorian I place my pinky on the A note (root) and play the rest of the major scale as I normally would using the same fingers. There is only one pattern to learn
wow awesome, this video helps alot more than anything else ive tryed. now its like learning advanced english rather than chinese lol
Great lesson.
great teacher!
Hang on, so modes are basically scale positions? They've been confusing me for 20 years! If they're just positions, you're a genius because I understand that!
Hey David, would you 'consider' doing a Modal SERIES? I'm 'interested' as well, but generally, never know 'where' to start, etc. Also, Arpeggios is a 'Subject' that I've never 'found' 'good info' on. Thanks, ;)
:-) OK for practice volumes but I prefer analogue for gigging levels and harmonic variation, so the question would be how one might get close to it using a pedal.
Aaah, I understand now, thanks v much. Nigel
I have quite a bit of modal theory background but I feel like I'm learning something new-they are "tricks" if you will-clever indeed! I'm used to just relating the different modes, ie G major is the same as A Dorian is the same as E Natual minor is the same as C# Phrigian, etc.Then using say the C# Phrygian or A Dorian while the band jamms away in the key of G,
etc-
Love the vids and I am about to go check out your sight! Great stuff! And P.S> Loved the "secrets of Minor Pent" .COOOOL!
@ynyslochtyn if you want to sound rocky you play minor pentatonic..mainly
That dorian improv sounded very Santana like. Nice!
Buy the "Applied Theory For Guitar Players" series. Its genious! and cheap. Worth every dime. It opened doors for me like no other lesson. Its so simple, even a cave man can do it. I highly recommend it.
You use 7-shapes but they all inter-connect. First thing you MUST learn is these seven shapes, seven notes each. Second important thing to know is its the chord progression that gives the modal color, not the scale shape because all the shapes are related.
i relate everything to dorian,so D nat minor (aeolian) is same notes as G dorian or 4 chord in a blues context .
Tes vidéos sont excellentes
Love the sound. Now need to work on the fluidity and understanding.
@Wallimann thanks I'll check it out
Je voudrais que je connaisse suffisamment la théorie de musique pour pouvoir me profiter de tes cours :( Mais je dois avouer que j'ai l'impression de les comprendre malgré mon ignorance ce qui signifie que tu es un très bon professeur. J'éspère que j'arriverai à un point où je pourrai profiter de ta connaissance dans l'avenir proche :/
@Wallimann Thank you guitar Jesus.
this is brilliant! thank you!
If you play Bm pentatonic over Cmaj type chords,this equates
to lydian mode. notes from Bm pentatonic relate to Cmaj as maj7/9th/maj3rd/aug11/13. I'm just learning about pentatonic substitutions.
feels like I've just opened pandora;s box.
fascinating.
your vids give me lots to think about.
thanks again
so it would work ! okay thanks love the lessons could you do a video on your sound like guitar amps pedels I like that sound you produce !
Very Informative. I'm gonna work it & let you know. Thanks.
nice lessons dude
