Practical Ear Training For Guitar Players - Masterclass Session #10

Awesome! Love this. Thank you.

How can I train myself to be you?

Do what the man says people. 5 mins a day.

Thanks for sharing David! Great Lesson as always.

Really nice lesson!

Thanks David. This fits in nicely with where I am going with the Guitar Infusion course. I have the modes pretty well worked out but this is showing me how to hear them in a musical context. I see how jazz pros have got this skills down to rapid automatic. I know that the better I get at this, the better a musician I will be, no matter what my knowledge or skill level.

thanks for fixing the video I appreciate it

David Fabulous Master Class Course. I have suddenly realised what I have been doing wrong for the last 100 years. I am a software programmer and play guitar like a computer. I have lived with the fallacy that if I would learn more scales, more jazz chords, more licks, that would make me a good guitarist. It does not. My 18 year old son, plays from the heart. He hears a tune and plays it. Ok ... he played classical music in a school orchestra for 6 years, which probably helps. But still, unlike me he cares nothing for more theory. He just plays with his ears and his heart and it sounds great.

Question: Am I correct in thinking that the modes are not straight jackets. I mean, when improvising a person can play all the modes within the same song, so long as it fits. Perhaps only observing the minor or major key. So in reality, if I am correct, "the modes" are just labels we give to the chromatic scale.
