ALL ABOUT MUSICAL SCALES - A COMPLETE GUIDE!!! 

Excellent, interesting, and very insightful video!

NewJazz for all you show we all never even seen the mistake.

was curious for a second lol

Just call it a test to see if the students were attentive 😉

Turns out I wasn't confused at all. Great video regardless.

Agreeee!!

I feel the same. It is a wonderful guide to come back and continue learning. Absolutely amazing.

Facts

I agree

What he said ☝️☝️ 100% clear, simple and useful. All options/choices of scales laid out, and "when" to use each scale for that specific chord function. Brilliant! Thank you!👌🙏🙏

Hahaha - Great - and thanks :)

i know i was like WWHAT - you rock new jazz

Yeah, but the street was too bright and too loud and crowded and I ran back straight into my cozy safe little room. :)

Your a Top waffler 😮😲😯✨🤣🤣🤣✨🌼🌿🌞🌿🌼✨

@@uhuebner I know the feeling 😂😂

I think you mean harmonies, as opposed to harmonics.

Frank Gambale: "Modes, no more Mysteries"

I need to watch this many times over

I felt exactly the same way when I bought 'The Guitar Grimoire (Scales and Modes)"after having played guitar for 30 yrs (by ear: I knew chord families and pentatonic major and minor scales, plus Major/Ionian modes, and the steps between the intervals of said intervals, but didn't realize I was playing these different modes. Simple example: when playing lead over the D or D7 chords in the key of G, while starting and ending on the D note (or at least highlighting that note) while playing G Major scale/ Ionian Mode, I was playing Mixolydian Mode. It just took one illustration for me to see and understand scales and modes. Chords are derived from scales and modes. It's quite simple, really. The Guitar Grimoire changed EVERYTHING in the 1990s-- everyone started playing guitar scales diagonally up the neck, rather than in blocks, and no one I know knows who wrote that series of books, as the author used the pseudonym Adam Kadmon (as in Adam & Eve in Judaic mysticism); and wore a mask in the (sub par) video series. It's amazing how someone who *thoroughly* understands theory can convey that info so clearly, like the gentleman playing and teaching in this video. Bravo!!

Agreed

Thank you so much!!! Cheers from Oliver

What would be the best way to go about learning this on guitar?

@@ihateyou3836 The instrument you are playing is secondary to understanding the theory presented here. Here is my specific recommendation for guitar: 1. Learn ONE major scale inside-out up and down the neck. Let's say C major scale. Google C major guitar positions for specific fingerings, or find a good RU-vid video. This one scale is inclusive of all the seven modes: C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (natural minor), and B Locrian. Then by simple fret movement you will be able to play all 12 major scales anywhere on the neck. For example, move everything up 2 frets from C major, and it's a D major scale and all of the associated modes of D major. 2. The next thing is to learn ONE harmonic minor scale up and down the neck. Then apply the same chromatic shifting up and down the neck to have it in all keys. 3. Learn ONE jazz melodic minor scale and apply the same process. The main thing here is to wrap your head around the idea that ALL of the modes are included in these three scales: Major, harmonic minor, and melodic minor. Instructors get wrapped up in separating the modes and learning them individually, and the student quickly becomes overwhelmed. So here is the secret: Rather than learning all 21 modes of the 3 scales, it's easier to learn 3 scales inside-out, and KNOW in your head what modes are derived from them. I know this might sound insanely complicated, but people devote their lives to this topic. It's a lifelong endeavor. If you aspire to creating great music, be deliberate in your search to find good instructors. Best of luck to you!

@@bpmac123 thank you for the awesome response 👍🏿

@@ihateyou3836 You bet!

I totally agree, great explanations

Hey man mee too. Same life 😀

I'm 38 and more focused to learn then I was when I was younger

I'm 44 and learning... Although this lesson is too confusing too me. But I feel that if I understand and learn it - I can freely improvise whatever I want. Am I mistaken?

Me at 39 ...

@@WojciechKobus even if you don't learn scales you can improvised by just learning so many songs and it will feel natural like your pressing notes that you don't know what your playing just hitting random keys but it sounds good. It just comes naturally so don't worry about it too much. I tried to learn many songs that i like to keep myself motivated and improvising comes naturally

@@sirius-brawlstars2110 Thank you, I keep learning stuff!! I really love it! I see you are into animation :) I'm learning that as well, maybe getting older makes me going more into art stuff ;]

Well that’s the beauty of all of us being unique and being gifted with sound in this way where we can all share our sounds with each other and usually have it in some way sound like something different. No one person can or should be capable of naturally embodying every different aspect of sound

@@ChronoMune Totally agree, music's importance in the history of human invention has got to be in the top 5. I'd love to see a study on that.

Easy explanation ,easy understanding. Thank you.

Totally agree!!

Jazz duets is great!

Walk that bass Is also great

jens!

@@gonzalodossantos3176 ooooh, my man!

Hear! Hear! We're so lucky he's here. I love Oliver' s Pentatonic grip He's shown my jazz and Chinese music*

Thanks a lot :) Actually I have a Master in Music but I just like to do something completely different and drive the city bus to make the extra income :)

@@NewJazz you are amazing

@@khantuta Well said!

@@NewJazz Oliver, I imagine you speaking to your bus passengers in the same tone of voice. If your side job was carpentry I'd be concerned about your talented fingers. Thanks for the interesting look at scales.

@@davidcox8961 Tell me about it. I play seriously and 2 years ago put the fingers of my left hand through a tablesaw, causing some serious damage. Now, 2 1/2 years later after hundreds of hours of hard work, I'm playing again and loving it. Still enjoy my woodworking but am a little more careful these days! Cheers from Sydney - Dave

HAHA - Great!!! Thanks a lot :) :) :)

So elegant and soothing voice, very immersive into the content.

I can hear it now :-)

What are you talking about? He talks weird as fuck.

You should definitely consider making content about that man. Certainly interesting

wishing you all the best my friend

Cool

You should also learn about the rhythmic scale, poly-rhythms, etc. If you haven't done so already

What language did you build it in and can we download it?

Same!

It's certainly easy to overcomplicate

How is it going?

By the way: Don't forget to look on the construction guide (it will help a lot). It is the fourth link in the description box under the video.

Thank you so much for your contribution with the very smart and handy cardboard tool shown by the end of the video. YOU ARE JUST SO TALENTED!!! Warm regards from Oliver

@@NewJazz Thank you so much. :-)

I don't have a question really, I just wanted to say good job, and give you a bit of recognition for the wheel you made. 👍 I crafted something very similar to yours about a year ago. Made one for myself, and a couple friends got one too. The one I made is much more basic though, as far as the information it returns. With mine, rotating the disks to situate the desired root note in place reveals the notes of the scale, but only for the major scales. On the wheel I have, I later penned in an "m" and "M" in the corresponding positions to reveal key chords of the root scale as either minor or major. That's as far as my little project went though. I suppose I could have constructed a separate wheel for minor chords and scales, but there was no real demand for it. Plus, hand crafting those things was fairly time consuming. Moreover, I wanted to come up with a way to combine the different interval sequence of the major and minor scales, and incorporate them somehow into the same wheel. My pursuit of other interests meant that I never saw that realized. Actually, I _do_ have a question for you. Does your wheel use individual inserts for the different scale families, such that only one can be viewed at a time? Or have to beat me to the secret of how to construct the ultimate all-inclusive musical clockwork mechanism of awesomeness??.. 🤓

I have a question, do you have some software about modes and scales like this? so we can play and improvise within the software ?
