My head just exploded! After all of these years, Brian is finally letting me in on the secret sauce. Learning Dorian by starting on the second interval of the major scale, or mixolydian from the 5th interval, is like doing calculus while trying to jam. This greatly simplified how to move from major to mixolydian to dorian without thinking. The key.......without thinking. Great teaching method.
Brian has that effect on me too. Speaks a language I resonate with
@jharrismsu, you just blew MY mind with your comment, it was very enlightening to what Brian was explaining....
Just learn the Major Scale and from there the Key of Songs.
Best to go up to Circle Of Fifths then you won't need You Tube.
All the other stuff is just extra bits of interpreting the same thing.
It's not secret or calculus etc.
That's just You Tube fakery.
Yep. Billy Sheehan says, “If you have to think, you stink.” 🎸
This lesson was like a magician had just broken the code and given the magic away. Brian knows how to “pocket” just enough information so the guitar doesn’t seem so overwhelming. Thanks so much.
I’ve been an Active Melody subscriber for years and have not maximized its use. I’ve fallen into the TH-cam rabbit hole but now I’ve decided I’m going to focus exclusively on your active melody content for a while. I think I’ll progress faster that way.
Strongly agree
I have been a member for a couple of years. This lesson is a great eye opener, light bulb moment. The guitar neck becomes clearer with every lesson. I have been gigging for many years and lately I have been getting some really encouraging praise from band members and audience members after performances. Thank you so much Brian.
I love the guitar. It’s like a giant puzzle that slowly becomes more clear over the years. This is a very good explanation of some of the pieces coming together. Major scale all over the neck is the gateway to the modes. Combined with caged major and minor chords. Good old pentatonic and you’re well on your way. And if you think you’ve learnt it all……you haven’t !! 😊 that’s what’s great about it.
You look at a piano keyboard and it's all right there. My biggest complaint about guitar it is like a puzzle.
You have changed your instruction style and this is so so good.. definitely more attractive and effective. .. loved the lesson!! Was kind of thinking about how I was getting stuck .. there was a mind block .. now you've given me a new way....
Where has he and his videos been my whole life! Such a great way to ease in and unlock some great concepts. So transferable! Love how accessible it makes scales.
These lessons, especially the ones on improvising, I find are extremely helpful. To be a great player and an excellent teacher is a very rare thing. Thanks so much Brian and keep the lessons coming!!
Just jammed a bit with the slow major backing track - it's such a fun to slide on one string seamlessly between the two first modes, switching back and force between those.
As a progressed beginner (with 2 years of pausing) this tutorial made me improvise for the first time in my life only after a few minutes of getting the shape into my fingers - awesome!
Words cannot describe how much I love using the Dorian Mode. It helped me a lot with playing in both minor & major keys.
My mind is still blown 🤯 I'll get back to u
Wow, I'm overwhelmed!!! You really are the best guitar teacher. Playing (lead-)guitar for quite a time now I understand soloing so much better now. Why did nobody else have the idea to explain this way before? thank you so much
Your lessons are amazing Brian. Your teaching is so practical and applicable. I cannot say enough of how you have evolved me as a player. Thank you from all my heart 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow ... that was a lightbulb moment for me. Perfect blend of hands on practical and minimum theory that tied it all together. Real gem of a lesson. 🙂👍
Infinite Thank YOU! Hallelujah, now I’m starting to have FUN, after decades of struggling to understand and apply. I watched and jammed before I went to sleep, last night, and there it was, already it in my morning practice!
I’m planning on working these for awhile because they’re so much fun. I’m eighty years old but still willing to learn!
This is a gold mine channel and this was a real nugget of inspiration, thanks again, great way of thinking about modes and how to use them.
For those who also like maths: i hereby declare that Brian is the Grant Sanderson of guitars! They both turn what seems to be an abstract mystery into a perfectly logical matter, without the obstructive requirement of being smart to begin with.
@ActiveMelody, great job with this video! On another subject, you're the only person on YT that has explained how to use the Circle of 5ths so well that I actually understood and am able to apply it to my playing! Nobody has ever been able to get me to understand it before! I'll so grateful to you for that! 💯
You’re the most helpful instructor I’ve ever come across I’ve been playing since I was 14 now I’m 72 and you finally getting made a breakthrough took a while. I expect to sign up for your full license at some point soon in any event thank you again I love the way you play.
Got you beat by one year. Happy every day. I wake up on this side of the grass. Strongly, encourage you to join Bryan. His lessons are well thought out, well organized, and created with continuity
So much fun in every part of learning guitar. Keep us in the modes. Thank you for the CD you recorded.
This has been eye opening for a guy who has done this for a while...thanks
Wonderful lesson, just what I've been looking for all those years. Thank you.
Brian this lesson was amazing, Thank you for simplifying what has always overwhelmed me. Opened my eyes!
I love the way you teach.. I now understand the secrets from your videos. I played whole fretboard after watching your contents thankyou soo much
❤❤❤
This is really a great lesson Brian. I really enjoy all your insights into the fretboard.
This is absolutely GREAT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Congratulations Champ 🏆
Wow! This is with no doubt the biggest "light bulb" moment for me in my guitar journey. So many things just slid into place and connected. Boom. It's incredible. This is what should be taught.
Nobody has shown it to me this way before. Wow, again!
Thanks so much.
What a great way of explaining improvising with modes! This is motivating!
Brian, as always another light bulb moment lesson. Simple, but so much musical meat underlying this simple Cmaj scale pattern! Thank you🎯👍🏽👍🏽🎸
Love your epiphany! I see some TH-cam instructor put down learning shapes and shake my head. I find knowing shapes as well 😊as developing my ear for modes in that way works for me. I can always walk backwards theorywise and make sense of what I'm doing. Your dispensing of knowledge has been most useful for me.
This was a real eye-opener, Brian. Many thanks!
Thank you Brian wow I get it ! You are a good teacher now I can play this and at the same time understand where
I am going.
I love this approach! I’ve been on the pattern for a few weeks and have been enjoying getting into it! Thanks for sharing. Great session!!
Phenomenal. I'm always playing between the two but I never visualized it this way. It makes a big difference when you now visualize the same patterns it makes you play extra jazzy bluesy groovy. A great lesson you showed here. After 50 yrs I've learned a cool new thing that I've not seen before.
Excellent lesson as usual. My guitar playing has improved tremendously since watching your lessons. Thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent lesson--very easy to understand as usual!
Thanks Brian
Looking at the diagram I initially thought it was a locrian pattern and then, wow, it's Dorian in disguise.
Not only Dorian, but Major & Mixolydian with the same pattern - Genius!
Thank you, no looking back now!
I just want to thank you so much, I have learned so much from you as I’m trying to teach my self to play. I think you’re the best online instructor
OMG, AFTER 61 YRS, my brain just realized what my ears hv bn telling me, & you reignited my creative spirit, & passion for really, playing my 8 guitars, all over again & I can't put my guitars down at all.
Thanku,Thanku,Thankyou
Man, this is just blowing me away.
You've really, fired me up, all over again.
Thanku is hardly enough for your simple tips & sharing Spirit.Sharing,cvv ,
I'm excited & relieved how easy, yet articulate, your simple explanation & tecnial awareness & wisdom of the economics & your strengths
In ur simple explanation &
Simple instructional real

Great way to easily switch ro the scales without thinking which allows creativity.
Thank you!
This lesson has opened doors for me big time!! Thank You!
Awesome lesson. Can't wait to jam with friends using these scales!
What a great teacher!! I am learning so much with your lessons! Thanks!
That just opened-up a whole new World for me. A really great lesson for me. Thanks
Excellent way to easily switch between modes! Thank you!
Your best lesson Brian.Thanks a ton!
You're a great teacher - period.
I've seen a number of great lessons this week that take this simple approach, where you're not having to thing about the everything, but minimal patterns... Or, just a part of what we would traditionally see as a whole pattern (from low E to the high E string). It takes real self control to not get totally sucked into learning the whole fret board without taking a break with the smaller, manageable things in life to just enjoy music. You've inspired me to look at the use of the arpeggio triads patterns on strings 2 to 4, along with the your scale pattern : )
Great lesson, as usual! I'm really looking forward to experimenting with these patterns enough so that I can use them effectively at the next session. It'll be fun to bust out these dank scales.
This is really fantastic. Thank you. I've noodled for decades. Music patterns are just not that difficult, but adding musicality is. You are one of my two favorite instructors. I just need to find more time and renew my paid subscription. The freedom to sound good and interesting, well...that's an overstatement--better, makes me want to play and learn more.
Great session, thanks for posting!!!
Just wow!! Amazing stuff
Great video! Can't wait to try this for myself and with my students!
Perfectly explained, thanks a lot!
Great ideas to jazz things up a little, loved it!
Fantastic lesson!!!!!
Thanks for the A major pattern lesson,really needed to hammer down on learning this!
This old guy is learning some gems! Thank you!!!
I have had a number of old cheap beat up guitars in my life. Today fedx delivered my brand new guitar. So I played a few chords that I learned years ago. It all just made me want to cry. Have you ever had that feeling? And the best part is still ahead! Really looking forward to Brians lessons.
This is really interesting. It's going to be funny applying this technique. I don't get into my Premium side as often as I should but I am so glad I'm in the Active Melody camp.
Thank you, loved this lesson
I really like this lesson; it is so practical and sounds reaaly good.
Thanks for this. This is extremely helpful
Thanks, Brian. You've given life and clarity to my otherwise directionless (and bad!) playing!
This is the best guitar tutorial site I've seen...and I've looked at a lot over the years...Thanks Brian...I live in Australia...
❤this is how good lesson is all about!! kudos
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
One of the best tips I have ever seen. Thank you. I subscribed.
Super helpful video I have to make sure to like every video I watch of yours cuz there always super helpful thanks for the amazing lessons you give in your videos making me love my guitar more and more
Pretty nice; I saw the diagram in my preview feed, and fiddled around with it (well, guitared around, actually) and found some of the scales. Afterward, I watched the video & enjoyed it; I'd correctly nailed some of the material ahead of watching, and that was pleasant.
I've been a devout Brian fan for years now, and always get great hints, helpful monologs, and tasty compositions!
I'm a geek & retired Mechanical Engineer, so I don't find any musical topics overwhelming; the theory parts of it are great, intriguing fun, and I dig right in!
Thanks again, Brian!
yet again brian ive learnt some thing new today great teacher keep up the good work
Inspirational as always
Nice ! It adds more ways on my improvizing skill. thank you very much for this tutorial !

this has been very instructive Bryan...nice breakdown....
This lesson is great, so easy to understand, thank you 😊
Very helpful. Takes some of the mystery out of "modes" when you break them into smaller pieces. Thank you
THANKS GOOD STUFF I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT OUT 👍🤟
Very well done!!
This lesson was great!!! Thanks!

Excellent lesson!
Its goota be the best explanation for major monor and Dorian subscribed.
You are a great teacher. I don't even speak english ( as native language) and I understand everything you explained
Great, for me to get started.Thank you!
~The way you just performed on your guitar was amazing....never did I see the technique to find the key of a song.....I am a 67 y/old trying to learn this stuff & thank you for your help.😊😊😊
Brian that help me so much. I can't wait until I can get back on the second half of your lessons. I had to cancel a few months back because I didn't have the money and my internet was not working to well. I live in area where the internet not to good but they are working on that, so soon I'll have better internet and I saving up some money so I can get you back I wrote you 😊
A few months ago to let you know that I had to cancel. But I'm praying that it will work out for me so I can get back to all your lessons. Maybe you'll remember when I wrote to you telling you all that your friends forever Eddie Harris or Edwin Harris talk to you again soon I hope to let you know I'm back. Again thanks Brian.
