Hmmm... The e-book is out of stock? Is there a new link? Thank you.
what about the key?? does the key change? if im playing g major scale and use c lydian, what key am i in? still G or now C??
Hi I’m really horrible at this because I try to really analyse and build off of that but at 7:00 you show a major scale but the A is missing in the scale but you have B there in place of it ? Typo ? Because it’s things like that that really make it a struggle to truly embrace the knowledge . Also I wish you didn’t deviate from the formula of playing the scales slowly and with individual notes like you did in the beginning. Your English is superb but at times I could not hear clearly and yet again got stuck in a whirlpool of confusion . Hope you can clarify is that was a typo Ty
Jesus Christ, i watched so many explanations about modes and finally after this one, i did understand, Thx!
Me Too thanks very much
At last something I understand thanks a million
Is cheese and rice
Likewise my brother!
Exactly! Same here
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Only 7 minutes in and finally I get modes. Watched countless video explanations but always gave up in frustration. What a relief.
I understood it in the first 5 minutes. I’ve failed to understand this for years now. This was the perfect explanation of something so simple everyone else complicates so much
Agreed,between this video and also Zombie guitar "Brian Kelly" has a very simplified explanation as well, For "my" brain, Brian explains things a little slower but between the 2 guys, you can learn everything you need to know about the fretboard and its applications.
Sorry, he explains it all wrong in the first 5 minutes. Thereafter this is pretty much useless.
What is wrong? Please let me know. I do not want to be led astray. He seems pretty knowledgeable.
The visuals, the things you choose to repeat and emphasize, your concise wording, and the overall structure of this video... It's all so perfectly done to help me understand this. Thanks so much man!
God finally, someone who explain modes without overcomplicate it. All this times.
dude, you're a wizard. before watching this video i only knew how to play the d minor scale, but after watching it, i magically was able to jam in G dorian, A phrygian, Bb lydian, C mixolydian and A locrian.
FINALLY, SOMEONE MAKES SENSE OF THIS WHOLE MODE THING.... THANK YOU
Holy shit!!!! I am beyond myself with excitement. Finally!!!! I have watched hours of modes videos and been lost. This video unlocked it for me. You can’t possibly know how much I appreciate this/you.
Thanks Bobby!
its easy to understand. its also easy for a teacher to utterly confuse and hinder a stundent when tryng to teach modes.
One of the best things about this explanation is the fact that no new patterns were introduced. So, if you know your patterns well, you can modify which pattern you play where depending on the particular mode you are in. That's HUGE!
wdym by patterns
You did it! This is the best modes explanation I've ever watched. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the compliment François! :)
Yes, indeed!
Same! Best I've watched. Thanks!
Im happy this pandemic has given me so much time to study more music topics and techniques, especially related to the guitar.
I feel very sorry for you ❗️🙄
Pandemic. Pandemic...... Must of missed that ......
@@stephenclarke3990I feel sorry for you. Watching a music lesson on TH-cam then slagging someone off for learning from the music lesson.
Get a life pal 👍
Wow...watched so many videos in TH-cam but understood nothing...now from this video i feel like m gonna mastering the modes..u explained it very easily..Thanks so much..❤❤❤
Man, this is so good. It wrapped up and pieced together different lessons and videos I've watched. You're great at making this understandable. Thanks man.
i still have some questions. If there's a backing track that plays D major scale chord :
D - Bm - A - G. Simple progression. Which modes can i use? Thank you so much.
@@diabetespotato5388 .
Thank you so much. After so many attempts, the Greek modes FINALLY made logical sense to me…
Dude... My guitar teacher teached me dorian mode last week and i didnt understand anything...i searched yt videos but still nothing... With you i not only understood dorian, but every mode, positions and shapes, thank you!!
That's so nice to hear :)
Amazing video! I’ve watched way too many videos about modes and scales than I would like to admit, and this is the only one that has made it understandable and approachable. Thanks!
Watching this video for the fourth time, finally got everything down. This video is so well made, I just wasn't ready for it. If someone's struggling like I did, I'd suggest to take the time and first learn the major scales and their notes all accross the fretboard. When you can recognize notes from a scale and play it without thinking then modes truly start making sense. They're simply differents ways of exploring the major scale. Good luck and thanks for this wonderful video !
I'm not a guitarist but this must be the best and clearest explanation I've got so far on modes, thank you so much sir!
Excellent video. I have gone through a gazillion videos and tabs trying to understand the modes. This is the first one that makes sense to me. Danke wel.
FINALLY all clicked!!
Got it!! Totally understand how to apply the modes!!
Wow!!! That was a very clear and concise explanation! Also, you repeat yourself a lot which is extremely effective!!
Finally some one made me clear my head of all the confusion on modes. Thanks
This tutorial is truly crystal clear. I now understand the modes unlike before when I tried memorising them because other video tutorials just over complicated it.
This is the only video on youtube that explains it properly. Amazing job.10/10
I get here two years after this vid was posted, but I'm just moved to say that this is the FIRST time that I've been able to follow an instructor explaining music theory of modes. I'm so grateful and happy - I feel excited enough to actually pick-up the guitar that I had put down and will also be shopping for a keyboard/piano next year based on this excitement.
Perhaps the best video I’ve seen yet about modes. Thanks 🙏👍🏼
Excellent video. THE best Modes video out there. Love the visual and the simple manner of explanation. Thank you!!
The best explanation of modes "with good examples of the tonal qualities" I've ever listened to.
🥺🥺🥺🥺😭finally someone explained the scales in a simple way 😫😫😫🤩🤩🤩thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Absolutely Gold explanation of the modes! Best coverage and straight forward explanation of the modes I have ever seen! YOU THE MAN!
Best explanation of this I have found. Very logical and concise. Well worth watching.
Far out! This is the best MODES tutorial so far. I can understand it so clearly. Presentation is nice. voice is mellow. pace is alright. Please do more! Thanks in adv.
The best explanation I’ve seen. Many thanks 👌
I just want to let you know that I subscribed in less than 30 seconds as soon as I saw the content.
I wish I found this 2 years ago when I started exploring modes. For me it went back to the basics and my journey is further along, but you have brilliantly explained this. I will be refering this lesson to people who are starting out and want to know about learning the modes.
Thanks man for you're nice comment. Glad to see this video helps you out :) And thanks for sharing.
i still have some questions. If there's a backing track that plays D major scale chord :
D - Bm - A - G. Simple progression. Which modes can i use? Thank you so much.
@@diabetespotato5388 The mode is driven by the chords in the track and what the tonic / home chord is.
In your jam track, given the tonic / home chord is the D and the other chords in this track belong diatonically (i.e. in strict music theory) to the key of D-major (chords being D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm, C#dim), your mode would be D-major (also called Ionian).
But say the same chords in your jam track were re-arranged in the order of Bm-D-A-G, the song would be different and have a different flavour (given the minor start/end). The mode of this track would now be B minor (Aeolian) given the home chord / tonic is the Bm chord, despite all the chords still coming from the parent D-major key.
Again, if the same chords in the jam track were rearranged to be A-G-Bm-D, the sound would be different again. A song starting on the 5th note of the scale (A) using the D major scale would make the mode A-Mixoldydian with its own sound / flavour. It again uses the exact same chords as those in D-major, but having the A chord as home / tonic and its own flavour (mixolydian is used often by AC/DC and rock songs).
Summary: each of these re-arranged progressions in the jam track use the same chords, but mixed u create a different music style / flavour.
When soloing, you can use those exact same notes from the parent key, but the tonic is the focus. You are soloing in the key of D in any of the modes taken from the D major parent scale (e.g. B minor, A mixolydian, G lydian, E dorian, F# phrygian, etc).
Once you get this, then you can then explore how to mix modes together, and how music is sometimes constructed using different modes of the same parent key, and sometimes to parallel keys, or that breaking the laws of music can be used to create new music (blues does this playing the minor scale over its parallel major).
Or that you could jam over a drone note usings several modes to create different flavours. For example drone note of say C played continuously, with no other chord changes, and you start to play a C mixolydian progression, then move to Ionian, but then change to a minor flavour mid-song e.g. c dorian and then aeolian).
Lots of movie scores mix modes even across bar changes. Look for David Bennett Piano channel in Star Wars and how they create feelings: th-cam.com/video/RD6bY7WZVxg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DavidBennettPiano. A bit complex, but you will get some of it, and why modes can be used to make us feel a certain way.
Overall, the chords drive the key, and the home note drives the mode. The less specific the chords, the more you can experiment across modal flavours to create music to suit the musical story.
@@xwinglover sir, thank you so much for explaining things to a random amateur like me. Really. Thank you so much, i get it now!
@@diabetespotato5388 I tried to keep it simple. It took me years for it to click. Videos like this and a simple explanation is all I wished for too 😂. Rewatch the video with the context of my explanation and it will make even more sense. Have a great day.
It’s by far the best explanation and demonstration I’ve ever seen. I’ve had to play it over quite a few times, but practicing using a looper has helped me a whole bunch.
Can only echo what others have said in the comments. This is by country mile the best explanation of the modes I've come across on YT. Very well done.
Amazing information, I have been struggling for years to wrap my head around this stuff, and I think for the first time in my life I may have understood what I have been so desperately hard trying to learn.
Thank you.
This is the easiest explanation to comprehend when it comes to modes. You are a life saver brother. Thank you for this.
I must've watched at least 20 videos on modes, and this is the one that really made modes click for me. Thanks for making this video!
After more than a decade being self taught and countless of videos about modes...I finally understand modes thanks to you! Your lesson takes every other material out there to shame. BRAVO!
Extremely well laid out! Your explanation was masterful!
This video is the best ever for explaining modes. Thank you very much
definitly you´re the best teacher on net....I decided to choose you like my personel mentor---.really you explain so clear. Thanks a lot!
A real eye opening tutorial!
Thanks QJamTracks! 😉
Thank you my Man… finally on how to apply these modes..!!!
Millions of videos teaching modes but fail to teach the practical part of what mode to use in a particular key.
Thank you again.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!
This is definitely the best modes video I've watched
Thank you for this video. I was able to understand how mode works and answered the questions from some of the videos I've watched.
💡 💡 💡 I can’t believe how in depth your explanation is. That was fantastic. You are truly the best teacher I have ever come across when it comes to this subject. Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. At last I think I have cracked this one.
Excellent !!!
Clearest tuition in this topic EVER !!!
15 years of guitar playing and I finally got the confusion regarding modes all out of the way. Kudos to you. Thankyou
Thanks Rajeev. You're welcome :)
you are an absolute legend! youve done the one and only understanable and good video on the topic that ive seen, thank u so much for that.
I have just started trying to learn modes and have watched a few videos beore this, but your use of visuals is exactly what I needed. Thank you SO much for your creativity and teaching prowess!
Nope, he starts off way off. I don’t care if he gets to the real point later, his first statement of what modes are is way off.
This is by far the best modal tutorial I have watched. I will be using it a lot to learn. Thank you for laying it out so simply and consisely!
Nope. It’s wrong in his basic definition.
Mindblowingly clear and detailed explanation. Thank you very much!
Beautifully explained.......straight forward and simple.. .....
This is the sort of explanation, i was looking for. Clarity and content.
Thanks!
1. Conocer el número de grado de cada modo.
2. Saber que del 3er. al 4to. grado y del 7mo. a la siguiente octava de la escala mayor hay un semitono.
3. Asignarle a la nota a utilizar el número de grado del modo deseado y avanzar progresivamente hasta la siguiente octava tomando en cuenta los semitonos del punto 2.
No se necesitan diagramas solo practicarlo hasta automatizarlo.
Por supuesto que es la mejor lección sobre el tema! Excelente material!
I’ve been studying modes for so long. I memorised them, I could play them and noticed the difference among them but I couldn’t use them because I didn’t know WHEN. In about half an hour you turned on the light 💡. Thanks 🙏, this by far the best explanation about modes.
Holy hell, this is such a good, crisp explanation! Wow! I've been trying to wrap my head around the modes for years, and I think this might end up doing it! THANK YOU!
THANK YOU! Best guitar tutorial ever!
This marks the day ill never get lost in the fretboard. No more second guessing. Thank you so much for this.
I’m only at 9 minutes 55 seconds and I’m so excited I couldn’t wait to leave a comment. Thank you!!
Found this video last night and have already shared it with four other players today. I have a list of “light bulb moment” videos that I frequently share with other players - thank you for adding another video to the list! Excellent explanation and truly appreciated!
Slick, professional, comprehensive. One of the very best.
Note….once you “get” modes, you’ll say yeah they’re easy to understand.
But the video requires a little time and attention. And the modes themselves will require practice
Fantastic lesson, one of the best I've ever seen on the topic of modes.
Wow, this is making things so clear. You are The Mode Man on TH-cam. Thank you so much!
this is by far the best explanation about modes I've seen so far, thank you sir.
Thank you Oughchim!
Great video. Great way to look and think about things.
Thank you so much for this!❤ It’s opened my eyes! After so many hours of useless stuff… You rock!! 🤘😍🎸
Thank you for this ... most helpful lesson i found on modes.
Best explanation I've run across. Multiple thanks.
God bless you, dude. Finally I clearly understand how to use modes.
This is the only music theory channel that I can comprehend, what a gem of a channel for people trying to get to grips with this stuff! Thank you!
Hands-down the best tutorial on modes - very clear and very helpful. The slide at 10:30 is really just about about you need to understand how to play modes.
Thanks!
This is so enlightening, thank you. I finally understand how it all works.
YOU ROCK !!! I'm telling everyone I know to come check out your channel, keep up the AWESOME work my friend !

Thanks Dr. Greg!
probably the best explanation of modes on the web! great job..
Hello, the best video on this subject I've never seen... Thank
Thank you , thank you - it took me a while to find such a comprehensive explanation. A lot of head scratching until now. Cheers.
I agree with the others. The best modes explanation ever! I have watched and read about the modes for quite some time, but your explanation pieced it all together in a clear and cohesive way. It all makes sense now. I can't wait to practice all the modes. THANK YOU!
Great video. Clear and concise.
