I've had too much education...and very few teachers who were this good. When he talks about the sounds in relation to how they make you feel...so good. It's like learning that the reason you would want to learn to plot on the x/y axis could be something as simple as plotting the posite-to-negative-to-positive rotations of an electric motor in time. A visual example that makes the task at hand have meaning. This man understands what it means to teach.
Great stuff! This helps explain why these chords work, lots of them are only a note away from the ionian. I was trying to play chords w/ roots off the major scale and found them that way. Poor Db major scale, those Ebm7, F#M7, or Cm7b5 chords don't work at all. But your videos really distill some great theory into understandable application!
Wow !! I never saw this information anywhere else. Exploring which of these can be slipped into the non-diatonic blues will be another journey. Maybe want to help with that also!
Damn, just when I thought I was really starting to get a grasp of jazz. It’s going to take a loooong time before I understand this video lol. That seems to be a theme with your videos Marbin, but I’ll get there eventually. Thanks for dropping some elite level knowledge
@@FunkadelicPancho That's the point lol. I don't know my modes 😂. Going to have to watch Frank Gambale's Modes No More Mystery video in Russian again haha
@@FunkadelicPancho oh interesting. I'll have to check that one out. I understood the beginning of marbin's video, I just need to be exposed to modes a bit more before I fully understand them
In addition to this being an awesomely helpful lesson, I completely lost it at the images you showed 0:57. 😂 🤣 Thanks for the knowledge and the hearty laugh!
Oh Hell Yess!! I thought the parallel key to Ionian was only Aeolian…. This makes way more sense and opens more hallways of doors that open into more hallways of doors….🙏🏽 Another reason why I disagree with “everything in music has already been done”. So much more to explore!
that was great! It's probably down to a limitation of the range of the guitar but I wish it was easier to get those Robert Glasper type voicings Adam uses in his Cush Chord vids versus the Barney Kessel type "chord melody" sound which I'm trying to get away from, seems like you almost need a seven string to get those vibes
As a trumpet player I’m not that interested in the tabs as in the actual chords for Lydian and the other modes. I very much enjoy your videos, thank you!
Take your time and take on each of the modes one at a time and you'll be fine. If you want extra help, we go into more depth with supplemental notation on our Patreon.
I understand all of this from a theoretical standpoint, what I would like to know from an etymological standpoint is where the term “cush” comes from. Can anyone shed light on this?
It might take a little while, it's not basic. Just pick one mode to start and go from there. There are more in depth lessons on each of the modes with PDFs on our Patreon.
The hardest part is knowing where to start, if there are gaps in your knowledge regarding the order at which you’re supposed to learn this stuff it can be very daunting.
why borrow only the dorian and lydian modes from the modal exchange and why substitution for the sub-dominant only in the 2-5-1? You did not explain that very well.
@@alexbroughton2874 I did but it was edited out. All dominants that come from parallel keys have other names and functions (secondary dominants and sub dominants) which makes them moot. Tonic chords sound like modulations so that’s all you’re left with.
@@marbinmusic fair enough and that makes sense thank you. but what about the half diminished 7th chord of the modal exchanges? not exactly a dominant chord....? But for simplicity I suppose it's just best to use the minor chord from the dorian and flat the 5 for extra flavor.
@@marbinmusic I kind of got lost too. Are you using the ii & IV chords from the parent key because they are the most used, or the only choices to use? Want to understand this fully to be able to harness it in commercial music... and not go over the jazz line. Like a lot of 70's music that has a bit of depth but now too much. More than today's music for sure. The Open Studio video is cool too, but I confused if that trick they do, can be used with progressions that don't start on the 1 chord. Doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks!
I respect the patreon hustle but yo the static tv scramble noise background is super disruptive and straight up i can't watch it, i mean just a black bar will do it lol, shit needs an epilepsy warning
mmmmmm real open studio hours
Those guys rule
What a great metaphor: home, store, call etc. Great teaching. Thanks.
This is really an amazingly clear way to explain some very complex concepts. Thank you.

Best music teacher 0f our time
lol the sad store joke got me, great stuff
Understood how to practice and use modal interchange for the first time in so many years 🥲You're such a good teacher 💎Thanks !
That's great. Glad to hear!
Now this ❤ Fabulous teaching! Thank you!
Excellent lesson. Really opened my mind. Thank you.
I finally get!!! hooooly! thx bro
You are so good at explaining these things that have never made sense to me
Whoa, now those are some sick harmonic possibilities
Don't you have a toilet to unclog?
Wow.... this actually makes sense. Thanks

You are an eye and ear opener !huge thanks
Glad you dig it Max
So much inspiration from this! Thank you 🙏
You're so welcome! Consider our Patreon
@@marbinmusicjust did! 🎸

It all sounds so pretty...(first thing that came to my head to describe what I'm hearing)

It's just functional harmony baby
If you know your modes this is not hard to understand.
@@FunkadelicPancho That's the point lol. I don't know my modes 😂. Going to have to watch Frank Gambale's Modes No More Mystery video in Russian again haha
@@JohnSmith-in1tt that’s a really good one! I used Ben Levin’s Music Theory From The Ground Up series here on TH-cam

outstanding

This dude lol. Incredible
thumbnail is cool
Thanks!
❤️
😻
I want to understand.
So instead of me only knowing 2 scales, I’m using modal interchange.
Great player, but how did a Berkeley grad afford all those axes?
Cush Chords > Push Turds, you’re welcome
Want a trick for all jazz chords ? Get a lefty guitar !!🎸 I’m lefty and all Jazz chords are normal chords upside down 😂😂😂
DUUUUUUUDE
Also, you can play a right handed mando, like a lefty guitar!
I understand all of this from a theoretical standpoint, what I would like to know from an etymological standpoint is where the term “cush” comes from. Can anyone shed light on this?
The dude at open studio made it up. It’s called modal interchange
@@marbinmusic Thanks. Kind of a weird term to pull out of thin air, don’t you think? 🤷🏻♂️
I know this is great information, I don't understand it yet...

Just recently got your channel suggested by the algorithm. Really loving the content. Great fun attitude covering tricky concepts.
