@S.E.Walker I think I agree with you about 50/50. It's counterintuitive because it discounts the root note and home chord. With you on that. However it is useful to know it's from the G Major "Family" if you will because that opens up more areas of the fretboard to play with. I also just don't see how we can get away from the major scale being the foundation of the modes, since literally all intervals in music theory as a whole go back to referencing where a note "should" be according to the major scale.

@pKova55 this is a valid point. However, I also played literally just the 2 notes themselves over the chord progression to be as objective as possible.

@@TheBaldGuitarist Using the same chord-progression for 2 notes is more then "valid"! As such : A - GOOD starting point! Hence: I did NOT touched that. I touched ONLY the way you play the 2 TONES deliberately different AND respectively explanation for your target/aim. That's what I would call SUGGESTIVE influence! Play the 2 tones EQUALLY good as possible, while using the same chord-progression backup AND =>> LET you SPECTATORS be the JUDGE. That way you are engaging AND inviting your viewers to be part of the content. Else, it is like: here is your food -eat it now!

@ericthiemann 1) this is a theory video, not a technique video. 2) does it matter how good I play if people still learn to play better themselves? 3) appreciate the comment! All boosts to the algorithm are welcome, cheers. 😎🤘

@nickofthenorth 💯 it's all about what chord is currently being played. To get there though, I think it's very important to understand what notes work most of the time for your song so you know where your "escape route" is when things get too weird. 🤘

A Mode in music is a group of notes from a key that starts and resolves to a different note other than the (normal) root note. Even though the key signature on sheet music would be 1 Sharp (AKA G Major), in this case you'd want to resolve to D instead of G as shown in the video. I'd say this is exactly the type of situation for Modality, especially since the vocal melody basically outlines a Dadd11 chord, making the case for a D Mixolydian Modality even stronger. Out of curiosity, what definition of Modality are you operating under?

@TheBaldGuitarist Well, before, I used to think just in terms of which key I'm in when playing. The song may have had just two chords, F and G resolving to F and I was thinking and being aware that I'm in key of C major. But now I'm comfortable playing and thinking in terms of F Lydian mode and landing on F or using that sharp IV for the feel of the mode. I'm still aware I'm playing in the key of C major, though, so I can use all the notes of a C major scale on the instrument. I just have to know what key I'm in. Modality for me was just the next step. I took time to get the feel for the modes and use them as intended.

@wallofrock6725 LOL he's got great ears though so just plays all the right notes anyways. 😂

@@031degra is this one of the legendary TH-cam haters you get when you're on the path to building something?? Nice. 😎🤘

@@TheBaldGuitarist I'm just realistic... You play like you're using feet, not fingers. Dont ruin somebody's chance to play with your "lessons", take some yourself.

@@031degra if your such a brilliant guitarist, show us some amazing tuition then!. The content here is very useful and is to the point. 45+ years guitar player here!

@@jadonx I play for 40 years. Professionaly 30. If you play for 45 years then you started decade before your birth :) Dont waste time, you have good channels with good guitarists. If you want to, thats your choice, its just my advice. This is RIDICOLOUS, do you hear the guy with guitar? He can't play ONE NOTE in right tempo. ONE NOTE, hey?!

@@031degra haha wish I was 35 :)

D mixolydian is G major bud

ACTUALLY, F#B3^7TH

@garyeggleton1142 Respectfully, no. That is the single thing that makes D Mixolydian a separate entity. It is the same notes as G Major but with D as the Tonic Center. As shown in the video, it doesn't make a difference to the available notes, but it DOES make a big difference to what notes you should target for soloing/melody inside of the available notes.

❤️ good lesson

You're welcome! 😎🤘

@@keovongvilaykeo4799 glad you enjoyed it!

@jsano2754 you are welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful, and thanks for the sub my follicularly challenged brother! 😎🤘

@@enockopolot3928 glad you found it helpful!

@@seymourceikemusic6699 thank you! 🤘

@jakemf1 absolutely. It's a must know pattern for modern guitarists!

@@Blackstar-y1x he has transcended this timeline. 😂🤘

@bagazheful glad you enjoyed it! Definitely gonna be digging into more VG music in the future. 😎🤘

@dunehaggar7495 final fantasy came out 2 years before Extreme's first record, so prelude has the edge. I think it'd be really cool to apply some of Nuno's patterns to the Prelude and see what happens!

@@KevIn-tu4fv glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the sub! 😎🤘

@Thelma-q3v depends on what I'm playing. I hybrid pick the really fast string Skipping lick, but nothing else really needs it in this song. I know EJ hybrids the main bit of the "verse" but I like how it sounds strictly downpicked better.

@@XxXsemonXxX for sure! Wouldn't be surprised if Tim took a little inspiration from Final Fantasy

Thanks! I'm using a Fractal FM9, and for this patch I'm running some compression, an amp block (no IR/Cab Block), Chorus, Reverb, Multidelay, and a slight detune effect with a pitch block.

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

BROOO, Chrono Trigger is on the short list for sure. 30th anniversary coming up in March! Need to do some covers to celebrate. 🤘🤘

Always good to know who your inspirations are!

Sounds like you had a rough time, but the fact that you had such a cool soundtrack to help you get through it is awesome!

@timjenkins502 glad you enjoyed it, dude. Thanks for the sub, and good luck getting the chords down!

@TheBaldGuitarist definitely, I'm gonna play it on my channel and give you a shout

I'm glad you're feeling inspired by the video! I definitely find most songs/pieces to be much more approachable if you can take a step back and understand the chords/scales that are being used. Helps it to stop being frets and strings and instead becomes something musical that I can understand. Good luck!

there's definitely a bit of a backing track going!

@@MrShane5150 glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🤘

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! That was the Martin Miller Signature Ibanez. Super fun guitar to play. Very fast, stays in tune even without locking nut with a floating bridge so the whammy shenanigans go wild!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@michaelgumleyguitar 😂you can watch, just don't play! 😉

@michaelgumleyguitar Gotta stock up Rogaine and Keeps and, as a b-plan, save for a wig. Then you are ready. You'll still lose your hair but you have learned at least two things: Nuno arpeggios and how companies seperate you from your money.

Yesss 🤘

@edununez4710 thanks! Best of luck to you working through those licks. Look forward to seeing your video in the future! 🤘💪

@edununez4710 glad it was helpful! You got this 💪🤘
