The Major Scale and the 7 Modes Guitar Lesson Part 2/2 - The Modes

@unchaineddrag8n Awesome. I'm making the web page for this vid right now. I know rewinding and pausing can be a pain. Thanks for my first comment. 8-)

am i the only one who thought of scrubs when i heard "dorian"? either way thanks for the video lesson! =D

@soratms71 That's cool. When I hear the Aeolian mode I think of inspector gadget. 8-) Really those first 5 notes must be spot on.

mmm what is the purpose of that I haven't heard that before ? I don't think that I have to learn them !

@realjuvelive No, you could easily get away with not learning the modes. It's a way of being able to play the same scale at different locations on the guitar. That's the greatest advantage for me. I like to solo in the Ionian Lydian and Mixolydian modes. All the modes I've shown have the same 7 notes. But when you play those same 7 notes at different locations on the guitar you can discover some inspiring fingering patterns. But yeah it's not something you HAVE to know to write a song.

Overall you mean they are for practicing solo riff or something like that right ? what should I know to right a song then ?

@realjuvelive I think at a minimum you could write songs just by knowing some chord progressions. For instance you could write a song with a chord progression like C major F major G major then F major. But if you knew what chords were in a major key you'd have more understanding and it would be easier for you to write. I will make a lesson on the Chords that are in a major key. For instance C major has C Dmin (min means minor) Emin F G Amin. These chords are a good starting point

Thanks for this video. It's a very interesting video. I do an exercise like this every day but with this lessons I am sure I will improve my speedy on the guitar.

you are awesome man! really helpful but one question. how important would it be for me to know this if i am learning finger style without a teacher?

@fogertyfans Cool, thanks for checking it out.

@trishaj73240 This stuff is more for people who are ready to write their own stuff or who are looking for some more understanding. You may want to come back to this at a later date. 8-)

@SuperDC45 Sweet, I'm glad to hear it. 8-)

dude, idk why you don't have a shit tone of views. your videos are amazing and extremly helpful for all skill levels. i just finished learning your tabed fur elise (advanced one) and it impressed me how quick i picked it up. im giving all of my music buddies a shout to check out your videos! have a band you're in that i can check out ?

@jwalsh8 I like this way of playing 3 notes per string. You could play the same scale with the exact same notes many different ways.

@NewJerseyTony Thank you for the kind words. It seems like most guitar players are into learning other peoples songs. I think that's why this video gets fewer views than my tab videos. This video is more for intermediate players you might say.

I really appreciate your great lessons. I am a little below the intermediate but I'm learning and having fun doing it!

no dis likes tis a great video btw

Thanks for the video. I haven't learned much theory. This helps a lot. Thanks again.

You're a God.

u should get a job as a guitar teacher

Thank you so much for the first clear explanation of 'what a mode is' that I have ever seen. Very much appreciated. Now I feel like I have learning difficulties because it took so long for the penny to drop, but thanks anyway :)

Can I respectfully disagree? I've spent years playing on blues scales to the exclusion of all else, and now it's really hard to get my fingers and brain to accept this, I'm having to practice a lot more than I should have to, and this is basic stuff. Just another perspective.

Rockin out with my homies lol, you're awesome dude. Great vid (b'-')b

How do you create your videos?

well i like to use mixolydian mode when i rock out with my homies

so glad i found this video..thank you:)

thank u so much, this helps me alot :)

Do you move the modes like the Pentatonic Boxes? or are they solid set in stone? like C is always Ionian and D is always Dorian? and so on?

you will have everlasting life !!!!
thank you thank you thank you !!!!

Excellent lesson!

Try playing with a metronome and increase the tempo a little bit each week to improve your speed.
