Songwriting is fun when you can actually see what you're doing. I use the familiar patterns of color to explain music theory so you can write songs.

"Each mode has it's own unique sound." What my brain hears for every mode: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

@Phaseish 5 месяцев назад

idk if you are joking or not, but the reason why you prob can't hear it , and I couldn't hear it either, is because you have to listen to music that is using that tonal center, and not just borrowing chords from the modes aka modal mixture. so either with a drone playing the root and than you play the scale. or something like modal jazz , and Flamenco, and looking up songs that are in the tonal center, like lydian, sarais forrst from zelda, there are many videos that show the tonal center, that you can start using relative pitch for. Phyrgiain, and Phyirgian dominaant is by the far the easier, because it sounds foreign and exotic from the start. I think Dorian is probably the hardest unless you have listneed to a ton of jazz and its very close to minor beides one note.

@sirnatanielson 4 месяца назад

I've been playing for 18 years, mostly a rhythm player. Those visual graphics REALLY helped clarify and make sense of basic scales. Instead of just camera showing the scales by playing them backwards and upside down, it made it more sense explaining the modes to the scales. Awesome

It’s ok. Don’t give up. 10 minutes doing the WTF stuff and 20+ minutes enjoying your instrument and you’ll get there. But you still have to do the not so fun stuff to grow.

@fruitykrueger 7 месяцев назад

This will be easier to understand if you have some knowledge on major scale, intervals and the circle of 5ths. A few days ealier I would’ve watched this with the same WTF as I don’t know shit about music theory except for the shapes of scales and some CAGED stuff. But then yesterday I decided to binge watch some music theory (samjamguitars and gracie terzian) videos. Now I have fallen into a rabbit hole and can understand what he was taking about in this video lol. It’s crazy how much knowledge you can cram in only a few hours.

@googleaccount2397 4 месяца назад

I thoroughly enjoy your order of operation teaching style. There are no frills, no filler, no introduction with channel advertisement. You just give information that is important and explain why it is important. When you did the robot voice and impression of every other music teacher in the world, I laughed. Its funny because its true.

@tetragem1887 Год назад

i’ve been playing music for years and this video opened my head. i’ve been to school and still learned probably more in this about theory than anything else. the single info bit about how all modes are just derived from ionian make music and understanding it much easier.

@jonchristianmanuel5508 Год назад

This seems like a really informative video, but still lost in some concepts, when is it the approiate time to re-watch this? Because I am completely lost as as beginner

@iDigsGiantRobots Год назад

Man! I figured these diatonic scale/mode "patterns" out years ago but couldn't really analyse them in any useful way. I am a drummer and only play guitar occasionally but I can see that your videos will be so much help in internalising the guitar. You've inspired me to revisit the fretboard! 🎉😅😊

@jaybaird05 Год назад

THANK YOU. Seriously. I can't tell how much this has helped me. I have been trying to get an understanding of these concepts for some time now, but for some reason, none of the material I was studying made sense to me. It just wouldn't click.... with these videos, your teaching style, and the visual breakdown you give, basically fit perfectly with they way I learn. THANK YOU.

I’m truly blown away at the level it took to do this. I just wished you would have played the scale as you where going through each one that we could see it. But my goodness. No complaints

@AaronAnsuini 5 месяцев назад

I’ve spent YEARS trying to learn this. No one EVER explained how anything was connected, so I’ve never been able to confidently incorporate any theory into my playing-I just learn songs and separately learn random bits of “theory”. The way that you explain everything not as separate things, but as parts of a whole that follow a logic… it FINALLY makes sense. I can see it in the songs that I play. Holy shit, thank you.

@twilightriptide 10 месяцев назад

I've recently pulled out my old guitar and started learning. I've been using RU-vid tutorials and playing a little bit each day for only about a week. I found this video because every video I watched told me to learn about scales and music theory. The idea of all the scales being permutations of each other makes a lot of sense to me, but being so new to this I had some trouble following all the information haha. Should I be learning some scales first just for their patterns and then coming back to this information maybe?

@Sumguyinavan_ 5 месяцев назад

It was easy for me to learn piano because all of the notes are 1 after the other, you can look at it and understand how the notes progress. But it isn't that way for my brain on the guitar, I never was taught what frets on what strings correspond to what notes. This FINALLY makes it all make sense to me. And I'm sure as I progress learning there will be alterations to these patterns, but the pattern finally lets me understand what "button" to push to make the note I am trying to produce.
