This lesson explores modal interchange AKA modal mixture between Dorian and Minor. Specifically with the tonal center of E. The four chords we are working with are Em - G - A and C, and these do not fit conveniently into a single mode of major. Therefore switching between scales is a valid and helpful approach to writing melodies or leads over these chords.
We explore several different varieties of scale-blending, arpeggios, and voice leading to discover new ways to solo over a set of chords without just repeating the same licks over and over.

Jake, I have to say that your channel is really one of the most informative, organized, easy to use and well produced collection of guitar instruction videos anywhere, on TH-cam or elsewhere.
very kind of you to say that, thank you!
Signals Music Studio 👍 Thank you!
I couldn't agree more.
I thought only patrons got replies from Jake? ;-)
Indeed it is!
My first thought was "There is a house in New Orleans..." 😁
So I wasn't far off?!
same
You mean For Your Love!
The same
And when he started soloing in Dorian it sounded like every Ghost solo
I’m surprised Jake doesn’t teach at the most prestigious music universities... wait w minute, actually I’m not. Those universities don’t deserve him hahaha he’s too good. And the fact that he makes it so quick and it’s free Is incredible
Pentatonic minor is the guitarist answer to most life problems.
It's like duct tape or super glue. It fixes just about everything.
There r other possibilities, even if u can’t see them
@@phucyu8428no. It ain’t. We’re talking about art, here
@@Shayne_Mushin Learning scales is not art. That comes when you apply what you've learned.
E-Kinda-Dorian is my new favorite mode.
This is the kind of stuff I’ve been looking for! People often say “you don’t need theory, just play with feel” which I agree with. However.....knowing why and where ideas work is interesting and helps you reach that “feel” faster. Thank you!
As a guitar player who mostly uses feel to get me through making my own music, there are times when I get stuck on where to go next and having some theory knowledge helps me get unstuck, but I always go with feel
This needs to be a series
1:33 you know a solo is gonna be fire when it starts like that
Also that Dorian pentatonic and the very specific one in E,was used in a Radiohead song,I think lucky
Boy, his lessons are always a treat! Whenever he uploads anything, I almost always apply it immediately to something I'm doing.
Pianist here. You are by far one of the best teachers I've found on the tube. Thank you for doing these.
My G arpeggio suddenly shrunk up at 7:25, how embarassing
Sudden shrinkage happens to everyone, don't worry! Jk, keep on rockin' Jake, awesome lesson
Not to worry. This video is very useful. I am going to compose using this chord progression. Thank you.
Gosh, I'm always embarassed when my arpeggios shrink too, don't worry.
I've already called the police. People like you should go to jail forever
It's ok, it's just the cold water.
Holy shit, this video is a wealth of knowledge for lead players.
This is brilliant. This video is brilliant, omg, I can't stress this enough...
I, as a hobby musician without formal prior education, found so many answers and new links between topics with this video. This material is gold, I've watched this a couple of times already, and even the way you shed light on these solutions is satisfying to watch and listen to.
Thank you so much for these videos, you explain topics in a wonderfully clear way! I dare to say that you are one of the best music teachers on TH-cam, and definitely >the< best music theory teacher for guitarists.
Just found this channel. Learned more watching this than 5 years of noodling on my own. Thank you.
Ever since I started watching your channel, Ive realised my mistake for not taking music theory seriously for years. Thank you Jake. Love from India. You are the best. 😊😊
I used to think musical ability was some kind of magical gift 🎁 . Thank you sir for showing me some great stuff
I like his teaching style... on point and gets to the meat as soon as possible without fuss. Unlike other tutorials that spend 7 min explaining what major scale is in a 10 min tutorial that is supposed to teach something cool lol.
Another great lesson, you’re up there Jake with the best on the channel. I’ve got loads out of you lessons cheers 👍🎸
You have the gift of being a good educator
Excellent, as always, thank you 😊
I love this channel. So much information, so clearly explained, no filler.
This is just a gold mine! So clear and well demonstrated. Your are amazing ! Thanks.
Thank you Patreon peeps! This was AWESOME! Great video!
One of your best videos yet. All the individual lessons you’ve taught about modes etc are stacking up to super practical application
Brilliant as usual ! Thanks so much Jake ;-)
Jake, you rock, amigo! Always excelent and really useful content. Gracias!
I get such a lot from these videos. Thank you.
Love it, it´s simple, and yet, beatiful.

I keep forgetting how much I love your lessons and the way you break down your theory in a clear but also very detailed way. You really are an amazing teacher and I have to watch more of your stuff. Thanks man 👌
Thanks Jake, you are a great master!!
Now I can see all the resources I have when I play a guitar solo over that chords progression!!

Must admit to these being my favourite guitar tutorials. Thank you.
You know what man I really love you and your videos
Love this video and love this channel. Gives me loads of ideas and it’s helping me improve so much. Thanks for all your work.
Im glad I found this channel, couldn't believe I've produced my first song.Thanks a lot Jake 😁😁
This is an excellent lesson. Watching your channel, things I’ve never quite understood about music theory make total sense now, and you seem to have an endless supply of tricks/techniques as well as the ability to explain why they sound good.
This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. I had been working with my guitar instructor (Pre-Covid) about these exact things.
this video reallyy helps me alot. as always, thanks jake !
Thanks for this wonderful lesson. Very useful!
Fantastic lesson. I had intuited some of this myself, but it is very useful to hear you put everything together in a systematic and well-organized music theory framework.
Your channel is on my top five list.
great lesson. it feels like a step up from where i am now with my guitar so its perfect. thanks. look forward to jamming along with you some more
6.1 and 6.2 were solid gold, awesome tonal ideas there!
Thankyou Jake. Top work as usual.
Great as always! "For Your Love" by The Yardbirds immediately sprang to mind.
Jake, you're such an astute musician. Dig it!
fantastic lesson, thank you
You are great at what you do! Thank You!!
Mind blowing, Jake!! Absolutely amazing job!! Long time viewer here, it's incredible how you consistently put out the most informative and fun videos on guitar playing and even music in general, for that matter. Keep up the great work. Greetings from India!
One of the best lessons of 2k20... Making this year a bit good. Thanks man ♥️... Love your lessons
very good lesson。Thank you so much
Great Video. Thank you for the insights
Great musicianship! Soloing over chords is an excellent video topic! You Rock 👊
As always, great video Jake!!
Great lesson, I am allways learning new approaches with you
Solid information - nice posting. Super useful.
BRILLIANT!!! Thank you VERY much for this!!!
Been watching many of your videos.. The content and presentation are awesome. You're an amazing teacher.
Another kick ass lesson, thanks Jake
Great video! I'd love to see a lesson on neoclassical metal, I love its distinct sound
Outstanding bro....lots of thanks
Great & helpful information !! Thank you !!
Man, your channel is a beast! And you explain everything in a perfect way! Bravo!
Excellent lesson as always! Thanks!
Jake!
You're the man
Incredible way to teach
Love your videos
Very helpful lesson!
i have been playing with a similiar idea but different chords. your video gives me plenty new ideas!
I'll be back to watch this again! thanks for sharing.
I really don't understand why you don't have a lot more subscribers! Been subscribed a long time, and it's incredible how you are able to explain music theory in such a comprehensive way! So thank you, I learn alot from your channel!
Really great teaching here, Jake!
If there is any channel on TH-cam that really provides good music ideas then it's your channel. I'm proud to be your subscriber, sooner I'll be a patreon too.
Keep the good work Jake sir.
Great, mind-opening lesson. THANKS!!!
thanks for your lessons Jake.
Another outstanding lesson - You are a great teacher sir! Everything is easy and accessible and logical. Yet you don‘t oversimplify and you don‘t ramble - well done! The recorded tracks sounded excellent too.
Dude your channel has been a revelation for my guitar theory. I realised while watching this that I've already been doing some of the modal interchange stuff over certain chord progressions, but didn't know the theory behind it to really expand and build upon those ideas as you did in this video. Fantastic stuff, one of the best music education channels on this site. Keep it up!
Probably the most important lesson in solo making. Excellent breakdown. I just wonder how come this lesson has been posted so late. Thanks Jake.
WoW this is definitely a "Masterclass" Thank you so much. And that backing track is Awesome very Professional & Sounds great. All the lead bits are "Gems"
Mind absolutely blown, I have so many more ideas now.
Thank you Jake!
One of the best lessons...
That descending arpeggio really made sense to me in terms of something I have heard countless times in solos but never really knew the mechanics of it. It finally made sense thanks to you simple explanation!! Thanks
thx you for your videos, you're a really good composer
I have watched a lot of TH-cam instructional guitar videos from a plethora of TH-camrs. I have subscribed to a number of them as well, but you, you teach, then you give actual examples that are extremely useful. And you do all of this in plain language that can be easily understood. You, my new friend, are awesome! 🎸
Hi Jack, thanks for this video, it is very usefull
This channel is very informative and inspirational, and overall attitude is quite positive and friendly. So I find the whole material as a great encouragement to start making one's own music. This is not a small accomplishment. Thanks
Once again a very helpfull lesson, Jake! You are a great teacher of music theory. Please get on with it. By the way, I ordered your poster, it's really great. I can highly recommend it!
Bravo!!! Excelent video Jake!!!
Always awesome! Thanks to Jake and the Patreons!
Hey, that's cool, Jake. Great lesson. You make this stuff so simple!
Thanks. You’ve opened worlds of ideas
I LOOVE your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Very informative and useful stuff sir
Awesome lesson!! There is so much to think about and try out in practice! I was really hoping for a mashup at the end where all of these techniques were used back to back, would have been an epic solo!!
