    Theres no one better at teaching melodic soloing than Robbie Calvo. His courses on truefire completely changed by approach to soloing. Total gamechanger if you're stuck playing scales and you really want to play over the chords with complete control. Awesome lesson here too!!! Thanks.

    Holy Cow!! 60% of that material (maybe more if I'm honest) was over my head but I feel inspired to dive into this video again and again until I get it. Brett, man, you are really hitting some home runs with these videos lately; Trapp, Congilio, and now Calvo are dishing out some real pearls. I know I sound like a broken record lately in the comment section but you really are doing a great job man! I've already bought your Caged Unleashed course (slowly making my way through it) and it's super helpful! Thanks for all you do!! God bless!!

      That "fancy chord for instance was just a minute seventh in root D (or root 4) position. If you don't know your arpeggios that is a must as they are diatonic to the chord (contain all the notes of the chord)

      Jon Lewis instructing is what Robbie does. Guthrie is a working musician who’s just now getting into teaching.

    I think one of the most important topics you guys touched on is so many of us “know” our abc’s. Few of us know how to write a good “musical sentence” on to paragraphs and chapters. I love Robbie’s playing and teaching. Thanks for elevating this Bret! Lately my practice has been exactly what Robbie suggests. I like using the EHX Freeze pedal to practice modes against the chords. Well done guys!

    Man! I have to agree with some of these other guys! You have really been bringing the heat with some of the players you've shown us. Guthrie Trapp, Robbie Calvo, etc. Wow. This one is great because Robbie really does bring order out of the chaos that is modal playing. This has really opened some doors for me! Thanks!

    Brett, you're definitely on the right track with these videos digging deep into playing over the chords and weaving everything together. I don't know how you do it, but you make it pulling us into the theory very educational and a ton of fun with all the different talent and perspectives. Best from Texas!

    @periloustemple8290 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this - and I love this guy. Brett, you are already our boy and all, but you go bringing your killer-chop friends around and our minds are blown - wide open! He's delightful and this view is so very helpful. There are some, like Rick Beato, who point out that there might be better ways to contain and use the information we think of as CAGED. Rick's perspective is much closer to this modal view. He has a great exercise he got from a teacher early on: practice that position 1 of the major scale, then, follow with that major penta position. Wash. Rinse.Repeat. Do that for each position. So, in A, as above, when you go to 2nd position of the major scale, you are starting on B, so there's your minor ii chord (your Dorian). On and on, just as Robbie is describing. I think Rick goes on to say it, but if he doesn't he says it plenty: now, go focus on the arpeggios in those positions. Again, paying attention to the major scale position AND the corresponding penta. Learn those roots, 3rds, 5ths. Now, in CAGE system's defense, you will still "see" those open chord shapes. All of it together becomes more visual as the comfort level begins. And it really does help you hear the sound of the modes.

    @Troy1g 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Robbie love your courses on TF a little off topic but with regards to the Helix and the whole subject of Amp and effect modeling, Where I get stumped is what to play through, What do you play through, When you perform do you plug Directly into the PA? Do you use the looping device on the Helix or do you use a seperate looper. I was fortunate to have modes introduced to me early on, to me it makes everything easier Thank you!

    A question, why does harmonizing the major scale create A major 7, and not just A major?

    • @michaeldematteis3409
      @michaeldematteis3409 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Major 7,is just an extension of the triad.1-3-5-the 7 is major because it’s a major scale of course.you can keep building major 9,major 11,major 13.you can extend every chord in the key

      You don’t have to make it a seven,it’s totally up to you,just a way to get different sounds.spice it up

      Hi Tim, It creates both...when you harmonize the major scale you can build 3 note chords called triads Root, 3rd, 5th) or 4 note chords, which are called 7th chords (because you've added the 7th (Root, 3rd , 5th 7th).

      Hi Dean, Thanks for the Question...when I solo over blues I use a combination of Dominant arpeggios mixed with chromatics, the Blues scale and double-stop ideas...

    Hey Bret. Here's a suggestion: I see a lot of videos and the one thing that I notice is not many really get the camera angle above the players first knuckle so you can actually see where the finger tips are all that well. It leaves a lot to guesswork and for those who don't already know all the modes etc, and perhaps don't have their ears tuned up yet, this would be a valuable improvement. You just need to raise the height of the camera so the line of sight to the tips of the players fingers is clearly visible.
    Anyway, thanks again for a great video, you're a huge asset to the guitar community (and as an aside, I'd love to hear some of the music you may have done in bands past or present).

    I was taught to change modes for each chord, when playing A chord use Ioian, when playing C#m play Phrygian, etc. and when playing over each chord and within each mode your in you should Target chord tones.

    Regarding that "fancy chord" which is a MIn 7 in root d or root 4 position , while it's bread and butter for us jazz players i find most rock player have never learnt root 4 chords or different chord voicings around the neck.

    Robbie or Papastache, as someone well versed in modes, but limited in practice time Playing and practicing over progressions, I know there could be an infinite number of progressions and grooves, but could you suggest some progressions for example I IV V for sure with a swing feel, but how could one cover all the bases in General, Is there a " most common" group of progressions and grooves to consistently practice, Thank you again.

    • @G_String
      @G_String 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Troy Garrity check out any Dead song or southern rock tunes, mixolydian is a very common progression, which is starting on the 5th of the tonic. So if the key is A, a simple progression would be a V, IV, I or E, D,A. If you resolve to E and target the the E in your soloing it become mixolydian, all while playing A major.

      @Troy1g 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@G_String Yes I understand that as well as the other six modes of the diatonic major scale, but THANKS for the reply, I was looking for say some the most common chord progressions (songs) and grooves to go to for practice. The Dead for sure, I actually found a nice group in Robbies new course about songwriting,

      @@Troy1g Thank you for working on the Songwriting course. Modal Expose or Chord Moves and Grooves on Truefire would give you a lot...plus I did a course called 30 Modal Progressions as well. If you analyze most popular songs over the ages you'll find they all have a tonal center. The video on TH-cam by Axis Of Awesome is a good example of this.

    What?! Where's the Revstar?!... Then again, Robbie could make any guitar sing... His TF stuff is amazing, excellent instructional content... I think the course he's talking about @ 21:00 in is called 'The Power of Five' and I definitely recommend that one... Another course I recommend is 'Lick Logic' for melodic development in your playing...
