- In this lesson, I go over one of my favourite ways to play the modes on guitar. All you need to do is play the 1-2-4 fingering and slide it across in the right places & know how to line it up to get the desired mode.

i’m only 9 minutes in, yet i’m thoroughly convinced (once again) that joe is one the best guitar teachers on youtube, guitar & theory has NEVER seemed so easy to understand
Really appreciate those kind words man
True!
The easiest and most versatile way to look at it. Helped me a ton. Thank you so much!!
You're very welcome!
The best explanation on TH-cam. Thank you
Glad you think so. Thanks
The most effective tutorial on modes !
JUST AWESOME !!
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped
That unlocked a lot of music theory! I watched this late last night and didn't even pick up the guitar. I did however take photos of the TV like an old man. I woke up this morning remembering the patterns with out having to look back. Great work!!
Great to hear man, thanks for watching
Great teacher 👏👏👏👏
Hey! Thanks man
I just logged on to TH-cam and this come up I had never learnt this awesome idea and lesson I'm so happy to learn this.
Awesome to hear man. Thanks for watching
Best lesson on modes I've ever seen. Makes it all so much easier. Much appreciated!
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
One of the best lessons about modes.....and how to use them in a practical way
Hey man, glad to hear it helped
You should be able to play every mode, and every scale with a first finger start, with a pinky finger start, and with a start from one of the 2 middle fingers as the start. You should be able to do that as a one octave, two octave or a three octave scale. No limitations!
YES! I haven't even watched the video yet and I know it's gonna be a masterpiece. Thank you for another lesson
Hope so! Thanks for the kind words
Would be better to just take it a step further and rather than learning a shape and using it as a crutch, just learn the G major scale across the entire fretboard. Once you get used it just start at a different point of the scale and play each note G-> G =Ionian A->A= Dorian B-> B phrygian etc
G is a good starting point since it contains E Aeolian mode theres a ton of songs in E minor you can noodle to in order to familiarise yourself with the shapes. Once you do that you can do that for all the major keys. eventually through practice it "clicks" you will realise whatever mode youre in when improvising or thinking up of new lead lines you can basically use the shape of its parent scale to figure out new leads and phrases. your only work is emphasising the right notes to highlight the mode youre playing.
Yea, that's definitely a great option. There's a lot of different ways you can go about figuring this stuff out
Wow, this is what i needed! Thanks a lot for this great lesson. 🙏🏽

SWEEEEEEETTTTT ~~~~~ Thanks a lot!!!
No worries. Thanks for watching
Awesome. Thank you
You're welcome
Yeah, great, if you want to play scales for solos. You would still need to memorise all the frets which correspond to the "pattern" if you want to jump around on the fretboard. The other thing that needs memorising is the starting point i.e. seven start points.
It would help to actually develop an ear and transcribe other solos to understand how they work instead of thinking a scale pattern is going to make it more musical
Nothing would happen without a single affot if you want to achieve something 😊
What are the practical applications to learning all this towards making music on the guitar? Thanks for the lesson even if it’s a bit over my head
Great question! Learning all 7 modes can help you create different moods and atmospheres in your music. For example, the Dorian mode has a jazzy, bluesy feel, while the Phrygian mode can sound exotic or Spanish. Understanding and practising these modes allows you to add unique flavours to your solos, riffs, and improvisations. I would start by playing along with jam tracks on youtube. For example, search 'A dorian jam track' and practise improvising & playing the scale over that.
@@joemacedomusic Great answer! Making alot more sense now. Thanks.
What's that thing wrapped around the nut of your guitar? Does it keep your strings from buzzing?
I use it when recording demos to block any extra string noise during lead guitar parts. Forgot to take it off before this video
I don’t know modes came from a sax background so how about a video with just major and minor and blues scales. Im used to starting on the root note for scales ?? 😊
Nice one. I would suggest getting familiar with minor pentatonic scales first. Here's a video that may help th-cam.com/video/ikEI1HIesXU/w-d-xo.html
i knew if i kept looking id find a idea thats like fu#k yeghr this makes sense , excellent idea mate subbed
Thanks man, appreciate the sub
I'm a little confused, when you say "line up your Dorian note with the A note" what do you mean exactly?
I mean lining up the note within the shape that has a 'D' on it with an 'A root note' will give me an 'A Dorian' scale. If I were to line up the 'D' note with a 'B root note' I would get B Dorian. Hope that helps
I'm dense. Probably why I still can't play. After a LOT of years. How do you know what finger you start the pattern with?
You can start with any. However, starting as low on the fretboard as you can and working your way up is a good idea. For example, say I wanted to play 'D Dorian'. I would start with the blue shape by lining up the 'D/Dorian' note with the 5th fret on the A string (D root note). If I were to start with the green shape with the 'Dorian' or 'D' note on the E string, I would have to start on the 10th fret as that is where a 'D root note' is on that string. Hope that helps

Thanks
That is by far the least intimidating lesson on modes. Thanks for sharing this. It would be great if you could explain how to use this with scales so say E#m and you want to use Phrygian sound. This is what I can’t get my head around.
Thanks man. First, there is no such thing as E# as E & B do not have sharps. However, if you wanted to play E Phrygian, you would line up the dot in the shape with a 'P' in it with an E note & all the other notes will fall into place. Might be worth learning about the note names on the strings th-cam.com/video/lKvncV6cUcM/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps

So how many players are going to drop out of their pentatonic scale patterns and implement the above? I find most people will understand the message but applying it in the real world is a different story. Most guitar solos are based around the pentatonic scale pattern in pop, rock, and country. Finding the notes in the pentatonic fingerings and understanding how to respond to the harmony (that dictates the mode) is more useful. Jazz players may actually use these scales but most others will not know how to use them when improvising.
I agree that having the pentatonic as a foundation is vital for improvising/soloing. However, it is not true just jazz players who use the modes. Music from all genres utilises it. Learning when & how to use it is important too. Learning the theory behind it is great (and I will be making lessons on that) but it is also possible to do it by ear if you noodle around with this stuff enough.
So it's a G major scale but your starting f# ? Of course move around to suite key.
Yup, no reason to always start on root notes
because it is A major
I understood nothing. I don't get the line what to what?
Newbie/ My brain just exploded!
Good! I think
Who set up your guitar, especially the string action? Sue him. ☹️
