    Instead of learning thousands of scale shapes, why not just learn how to use the ones you already have? In this lesson, I'll be demonstrating how one tiny little scale shape can be wielded with infinite power to create all 7 different modal tonalities.
    Hopefully this helps you all realize that whatever scale shapes you've learned are totally usable for any sort of modal playing. You just have to really understand the idea of modal tonality.
    This is the third video where the prime goal is to help people understand modes, however this is speciically geared towards guitarists. The other two modal videos can be found here-

    Finally, someone who uses the word "tonality" correctly! Too many use the word tonality to describe tone colour or timbre. Tonality is, simply put, whether something sounds major or minor. This is good music education as well as a great guitar tutorial. Well done Jake!

    • @TheCyberSatyr
      @TheCyberSatyr ปีที่แล้ว

      What other terms would you use to describe the tone color or timbre? Since they have to do with tone, I would imagine they fall under tonality as a blanket category. Otherwise, why would microtonal fretted guitars exist?
      Im seriously asking (because I really dont know, as of right now).
      I stand by what I said about tonality though, because its literally dependent on the individual schema surrounding the topic.

    • @mal9948
      @mal9948 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TheCyberSatyr Any discussion around music theory and terminology is interesting and healthy. It’s really good that you are showing such an interest in improving your knowledge of music and because it’s so wide and diverse there is always a lot to learn. Firstly I’d like to point out that I have been playing guitar professionally for many years as a touring musician and studio session player. These days I am teaching music at a secondary college in Australia. I am still playing very regularly, writing and recording. Tonality, as Jake had correctly pointed out, is about whether the music or a particular passage of a piece of music is sounding major or minor eg. is the music in a major or minor key. This is the accepted term to describe this and how it’s used in music and it’s related education. Timbre or tone colour refers to, and this is where it can be confusing, is about the tone of a sound. You could use terms such as glassy, thick, resonant, shrill, dull, smooth, harsh, rich, sonorous, brittle, boomy and so on when describing timbre or tone colour. Timbre (tone colour) is not tonality. As I said earlier this is the accepted terminology that is used universally in music education. I suppose the thing is to get comfortable with these terms and how they are used. Correct use of terminology will make discussions, such as the one we are having, clearer and well focused. I hope this is helpful. Keep enjoying your musical journey. What it really comes down to and the most important aspect is your love of playing and making music. There is nothing more exciting, in my mind anyway. Cheers.

      I'm in the same boat as you. I learned to play from listening and wearing out records. I learned to make all the sounds, but never knew how it all tied together. When I learned the scales it didn't make sense to me as the notes all ran together. I just learned to play the notes I knew that would fit. It would be nice to find a course that spoon feeds us older guys to understand what the hell we have been playing all these years.

    This is one of my favorite guitar lesson channels on YT, and that intro was absolutely brilliant! This guy reinforces things I've known for years, but never applied myself to. Now that I took time off, and started playing guitar and bass again, these videos and their pacing have been invaluable tools for practice and most importantly writing new riffs. I've definitely gotten that spark back, and while it's been a huge combination of a bunch of little things put together, these videos have made a huge difference in keeping things new helping me to continue to innovate. 25 years ago when I started playing bass, any information this comprehensive would have been only available on a VHS tape for at least $20 from the local music store, a booklet that might be a little cheaper, or paying for actual physical guitar lessons.
    My point is this is all free and easily accessible. I would have paid good money to get lessons like this.
    Cheers fellow musicians!

    Great video! This was a good demonstration that "a fingering pattern is not a scale".
    I spun my wheels needlessly for years off and on, just totally overwhelmed with learning scales, until it finally clicked that if you take the time to actually learn major scales and keys properly - the scale construction (the intervals that make up the scale), learning the actual notes (and in doing so, learning all your keys and key signatures), what scale degree each note is in each key, the basic major and minor chords formed in the key, etc., you don't have to learn anything new to play with a modal feel. You just have to actually KNOW the basics. Learning only fingering patterns and root notes is not enough!
    Now, I have lost count of how many posts I have made in different videos to explain how "a pattern is not a scale, it can be many scales depending on the context", as you do here. So many people try to take shortcuts and learn "this is 'the ionian pattern', and this is 'the Dorian pattern'..." and so on. It's a first step, but any of those patterns can be any of the modes!
    No shortcuts, guys! If you want to learn this stuff, learn it right! Learn the fretboard, learn your theory, and apply it. In the end, it is much more beneficial and actually easier to learn than all the shortcut methods. It just takes some time to slow down and learn it. Crawl, stand, walk, and run before you sprint!

      it's unusual mode but it's cool if you know how to use it. Locrian for me it's more like a "detail mode", for a bridge between parts in a song, a pre chorus, an introduction to something. The reason that it hasn't good popularity it's the actual styles and songs written in locrian. Example, Bjork. It's a genius as an artist but not everyone like her music. Nordic black metal, the same. In contemporany jazz, with atonalities, odd time signatures locrian it's a regular mode, no more good or ugly than the others. Music it's about feelings, mood. If you as composer feel that a solo in F root locrian it's the right choice to express what your mind and souls tells you, welcome locrian and it's beauty

      Locrian is neither a major nor a minor mode and is very unstable. It has two minor thirds making the chord a diminished one...
      For instance, in the key of C major we have a B°dim giving B Locrian a bad rap..
      Steve Vai use it a lot though..😞🐮🐴

      That's your root 3rd and 5th. Their your safe notes. And to get the tonality of the mode youd also add in that modes iconic interval. Like for example in Lydian it would be the 4th interval to get the modal tonality.

    Oh my god the beginning lol! You captured the essence of all those commercials 1000%!! I legitimately burst out laughing.
    The info and examples really solidified what I'd been looking into with modes. If Signals was just a little closer I'd definitely be doing lessons with you guys if you all teach like this.
    I know I already thanked you for having an amazing channel Jake, but can't thank you enough for certain topics. These little examples are limiting to you, but actually you just passed me a bunch of theory crack i'm not overwhelmed by.

    Bingo... finally someone made this easy to understand instead of trying hard to make it seem complicated. As for the shape, to me that is just the top 3 strings of the 5th position of the 5 position major scale shapes (or "G" shape in CAGED). Great job Jake!

    • @SignalsMusicStudio
      @SignalsMusicStudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't like naming shapes because it creates a lot of confusion and obfuscates the universality of them- BUT the shape I show at the end is commonly referred to as the G Shape from the CAGED system. The small shape we use throughout can be derived from that.

    Finally! Jake thank you so much for your modes lesson. I have watched countless vids by other teachers that say that just one note away in a sequence to achieve a different mode. What none of them say, which you do, is targeting the notes in the triad is what will produce a particular mode. Just moving a one-note sequence is not enough and your explanation and demonstration are the best! At last, I now get the modes, and it is soooo easy when explained properly. This is also a great exercise for triad recognition.
