- In this lesson we will be discussing the concept of learning "the modes'. As bassists and musicians it's very important that we understand the concept and not just play them as random scales!

My music teacher taught me the modes on piano, which I think is the best way to learn them. Most people don't understand why modes would sound different if you're using the same scale notes. It's not until you hear each mode played beside a chord that you can hear what they're all about.
The coolest and best no bull bass teacher on the planet. I've learnt so much from you quickly! Thanks so much!
Facts!!!!!!! Same here. He just blew my mind with that easy way to understand and memorize the modes
Can't understand why other tubers can't demonstrate like this. Not everyone that picks up the bass can understand the lingo.
I've been so intimidated by the modes that I kinda gave up trying to learn them. No one (that I've seen) has broken down the modes in this way. You've provided me with enough baby steps that things are clicking for me. Thank you!
The more I hear about music theory concepts, the more I realise it isn't some magical clandestine art and it's actually just cavemen doing simple combinations and shifts. Thank you.
The mnemonic I used originally was "I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot" which I found funny, because I actually like them!
thats awesome! I'm stealing this lol
What helped me was realizing that the modes are simply a set of scales each with a unique sequence of intervals equal to the number of notes in the scale.
I only remember the sequence of the first major scale, the Ionian, or the scale we all learned in grammer school ( do-ray-me-fa-so-la-ti-do). The same scale Julie Andrews taught the children in the movie "The Sound of Music", which is, starting at the root note, whole step-whole step-half step-whole step-whole step-whole step-half step arriving back at the root an octave higher.
The are seven scales; three major scales, three minor scales, and the diminished scale contained in this first seven note major (Ionian) scale.
So, if I want to play a minor scale, like the Dorian minor scale, from my first (root) note my sequence is whole step-half step-whole step-whole step-whole step-half step-whole step arriving back at the root an octave higher.
The original pattern stays the same, but the sequence of intervals is changing as you start at different points (notes) in the pattern (scale).
I hope this helps someone. I wanted to keep it short and simple but it seems a little long winded. Sorry, good luck to you all!
This concept is out of sight man! I played trombone through high school and college and the Air Force band and then I switched over to bass guitar and I had such a difficult time with modes because I wanted to make adjustments instead of moving the shape, but I have it now so thank you brother!

I'm stealing this lol
Damn when you realize what you couldn't figure out eventhough you've been playing it....Lol...We appreciate what you do!
Thank you so much! I don't know why, but, I've never seen the modes described in this way. Every instructor ought to begin with that very clear linear description, moving one note to the right. So clear! Still much to learn but with that fundamental bit of info, much of the 'mystery' is suddenly gone. Thank you!!! Alex
DB...This lesson give me a very solid foundation to build on brother. This video is A+ especially how you put up the graphics . Thank you you sirr!
Thank you! So helpful!
Thank you!this going to be very useful for me 👍
Clear as water, thanks Mr. Bennett
Love ya. . You are a good instructor. . And am 61 years old. . . I feel like am 15....Bass player for life
Thank you for the explanation. It really helped to bring everything I've learned in the past year together and make sense.
Awesome! Glad it helped man!
Been following u for about 2 years now and a couple weeks ago after practicing all your previous lessons on modes for a while, I just came to an understanding. Like once I realized the stuff, I sat down and went through all the modes in every key. So for example day 1, the 7 modes in C, day 2 in F and so on and I went up the scale to the last note I could play. So let's say I did B locrian, I started on the open B string and ended on G 24th fret (basically I ended in G mixolydian) and walk it right back down to the open B string. Almost 4 octaves applying the 2 octaves major scale lesson from a while ago and shifting with my pinky while going up the scale and shifting with my index while going back down.
It's mostly how u think that mess u up while playing the modes. So if you're playing Eb Mixolydian, just think Ab Major/Ionian scale starting from Eb that way u won't mess up and play Eb major. Or think Eb major with a b7 since that's basically what the mixolydian scale is.
really good explanation! thank you brother
This is an awesome lesson daric..
Nice! Thanks bro!
On point and very useful tips! Thanks Daric
Thanks so much and you’re welcome!
Good stuff.
Great content brother
Great lesson. Really simplifies the modes for me. as for remembering them, As a bass player here is what I just came up with: I Don't Play Like Marcus(miller) And Larry(graham)! LOL..But I wish I did!! thank you again!
Very useful and i understand easy thanks mr daric
Glad it was helpful!
I needed this.
Masterfully explained.
Thank you
No thank you!
@@daricsbasslessons You're a great educator and a Master Bass Player. Hey, I really admire both you and Frederico Malaman you are both great players and human beings. Thanks, for all that you do and share.
Brillant
Most important of the modes is to understand chords come from scales ,not vis versa
I'm assuming there are those key root notes too within a chosen mode that a player needs to be aware of and learn? Thanks, Love the Elrick bass
Nice guitar 🎸
Soo, can you play d dorian over a c chord?
I think we understand how the modes are derived. How are they employed musically? THAT'S the question you should be answering.
okay so i think my question would be what’s the difference between a C major scale and an Ionian Mode?
luckily for me I'm only into original bands so this does matter
i learn the name of the lydian scale because my wife's ame is Nidia XD and the Locrian scale because there's a food dish here in Dominican Republic named "Locrio" so for me is Locrian XD
Oh! OHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHHH! :- ))
I couldn't see the point of the modes for years. It was only when their relationship to chords and chord progressions was explained to me that I saw their value. Let's face it, starting a scale in a different place doesn't sound like the most worthwhile thing to practice if no one tells you what you'd use it for.
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I saw the modes as nothing more than the major scale starting on a different note and said so what?.... until I started to see the relationship with chords and extensions.
Awesome! Shouldn't the intervals be a focus when talking about modes tho? But great way of illustrating it. Thank you.
The fingerings pattern for each mode is not the same!!!!
Yeah I still can’t get it.
I didn't it at first. Until I got it under my fingers.
Once you've play it for awhile the muscle memory comes to the fore. Also, for ear training using a keyboard or Looper play a C Maj Chord that repeates and you will hear it work.
It will take some time and practice . But you will
@@daricsbasslessons So true Sir. It requires repetition and experimentation.
I got a cheap keybord and went down the white keys :) this has got to be hands down the best video on this so hit that replay.
@@IvoryMobley thanks for tip 👍🏽
modes never seam to resolve
The modes seems like Greek, but you explain it in English.
