Modes Part II: • USING MODES - Part 2
Learn how to apply your knowledge of modes into your playing.
For years I understood theory behind building modes but never understood how that knowledge could be applied to my playing.
Hopefully this video helps explain how I try implement mode theory into my playing in a practical way.
Music Riyaaz on instagram: / musicriyaaz
I've now released a 'Part II' follow up video to this subject of modes that hopefully clears up some of the bits I didn't explain well or skipped over in this video.
Check it out here: • USING MODES - Part 2

6:31 - I was just thinking the other day how it seems as though a not insubstantial number of traditional Indian songs make use of their analog to Lydian (ie Raga Yaman). This example, here, would perfectly reinforce my observation. To me, it makes sense - there's just something so very divine, airy, transcendent, sublime - even jarringly sacred - about a starkly placed #4/#11 - and the Hindu and Buddhist religious cultures would tend to process the world through those lenses. Nice video, btw. Cheers!

You had 999 subscribers when i watched this. My seeing that, after really appreciating this video very much, and knowing "I" would be sub #1000 was enough for me to know I've discovered a place I'm supposed to be! Thank you for your work here, Michael! I've played all my life, and "professionally" on some big stages over the past 20 years. But I've always known my jazz chops are very lacking (although somewhat aware of the theory/mechanics). Realizing jazz is (besides classical) the "brainy" side of music, I think I'm finally beginning to step into that higher musical awareness, like I've always WANTED to do, but just haven't. That changes... now! You'll be part of that, Michael, through your videos and I thank you for sharing your heart's talent! It effects lives.. in real ways. May ad revenue pour your way! 😄 Blessings from across the pond!

The RU-vid algorithm kindly put this video into my feed. I love finding other music theory teachers on YT. Interesting take on using modes. I tend to think, 'I'm going to write a song in Dorian' and that's it. Or, how can I make this sound different, I know, I'll stick a Lydian tritone here. I've been trying to find songs IN Mixolydian, and having a hard time because a lot of them just have a portion in that mode. That should have been my clue. Entire songs don't have to be in the same mode. It's ok, to mix and match for the sake of the song. Keep up the good work!

In guitar, modes are used as connectors after melody with tension notes to a resolving melody, usually going to the end chord of a stanza. In improvisation solos, modes form the licks joined in between melodies.

Its always about the root note. The root of the scale. Everything you're hearing and making sense of in music, you're always aware of where that tonal centre is. (Leaving out modulation for the moment) Mis-training modes starts with the teacher saying something like "C major (Ionian) is exactly the same scale as C- minor (Aolian)." Or they say something like Im afraid "if you start with the second note that is a dorian mode" without mentioning that in-fact it's E dorian not D Dorian. So yes it's a dorian scale. But it's a completely different scale, with a different root. The fact it uses the same notes is incidental, and has no musical impact. All the relationships within that scale are different to our ears. To explain them as being the same scale is what leads people off on the wrong path and leads to much confusion, Each mode has different intervals and different chords, and we are always aware of where the root note is when we are listening (and hopefully playing). The history of where these diatonic modal scales come from is as ancient as their names, they are firmly set within us.

@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69 10 месяцев назад
The Ionians were the Greeks. I think you meant C Major and A minor. Those are the same. If you're in Major it'll always be the 6th note in the scale or 3 semi tones down. C Major and C minor are parallels of each other.
@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69

So like how do you stay within the tonal center for say a melody? Makes sense because even when you know music theory if you're not applying functional harmony then it sounds incomplete.

Fantastic explanation, I've been trying to grasp this for so long and until now hearing you explaining the verticality of the scales and how you applied them with 7th chords everything made much more sense. It's crazy to see how fast you can draw from a seemingly unrelated scale (compared to the root ionian) so fast. Lots of practice :)

I was completely lost on modes for years. They all seemed to be saying nothing in a complicated way. You are EXACTLY correct about finding the relationships of the position of the starting note not very helpful - and it is better to think about the accidentals. Just today my piano teacher straightened me out on the modes and said almost exactly the same thing you said. But I LOVE your horizontal / vertical analogy. You saying that - along with my lesson today - opened up brand new vistas for me. Horizontal and Vertical... That is almost poetic. And then to think about the modes relating to each other horizontally like a string... Now THAT is how a fine fabric is woven, and I believe that is what I hear (and was confused why I couldn't do) what someone like McCoy Tyner does (or, did 😢). Thanks for this. I forwarded it to my teacher.

Hello, the part of the video where you suggest people practice the modes with the same tonic beginning -around 2:03 in the video - is just brilliant. No one has ever pointed that out, nor have they instructed that a musician know a particular mode by constructing the mode individually, I.e., knowing where the flats are in the scale. Thank you for a different perspective…now, I gotta go practice! =] oh, and I play the harp, but also have access to a piano as well…

You addressed the very question that I've been wanting to resolve - how to actually use modes, rather than merely understanding them in isolation (much, as you say, like knowing scales: how to use the information in playing). And you've done so clearly, in a way that even if I wasn't familiar with some of the terms, I could follow your line (the annotations are also very timely and clear.. thanks for those!) You tread a very good line, crediting the viewer with intelligence but with a desire (and need) for explanation and examples. I was very pleased to be able to understand exactly why a Lydian relates to maj7 sharp 11, so your examples affirmed learning as well. I think one of the mistakes I've made is trying to assign the modes from the tonic to each chord, rather than working from the tonic of each chord (for example, if a piece is in the key of D, then using a mode of D for every chord that follows). But that's me, running before I can walk. In any event, I'll watch this video many times, I predict, to absorb and gradually internalise, what you're saying so well. Thank you!

This is really helpful. I especially like that you didn't choose C major to demonstrate the modes and that you started each mode on the same root note. So may explanations of modes use C and then move up the scale for each successive mode so that they just feel like different scales. This video, especially the section with the demonstration over a pedal drone, makes much more sense and the sound of the modes was immediately apparent. Thank you.

It took me a long time and a deeper understanding of theory to appreciate how modes can be used in passages here and there.

Great knowledge here as everyone said. Also your concise editing is a nice treat, the subtle zoom-ins when you make an important point is really cool. I didnt realize that the first play. Cant wait for part 2 😊 im a bass player btw but trying to learn composition outside of diatonic boring stuff!

It makes a big difference to my ears when you play all the modes starting on the same note. I find it a lot harder to differentiate their sound if all the modes of a scale are played one after the other using the scale tones. And yes, I learned them, but never really tried to figure out how to use them. I'm on a long term haitus from playing but when I go back this is one of the areas that I'd like to get familiar with. The demonstration you did from halfway through minute four was really useful; actually it reminded me of something Chic Corea would play... Thanks for the demo
@michaelkeithson
@michaelkeithson 11 месяцев назад
Yeah, I agree. I never felt like there was much difference between the modes when I played them consecutively going up the major key, they all just sound like their parent major key, displaced, but take them out of that context and play then all from the same root note and they come alive! Hope the video was helpful!

I really enjoyed the Video, I had a LIGHT BULB moment the other month. If you look the circle of 5ths. And you look at ever key that has a C natural in. One choice is obviously C major. Other choices are G F Bb Eb Ab Db/C#. Moving on position to the right you get G lydian going left you have Bb dorian F mixolydian Eb aeolian you can work the rest out. So if you just picture the circle of 5th. You know if you play a G scale over a C drone you get Lydian. Or you can just explore up and down and remember you only have one sharp the F# which is the lydian note the #4.

@ParaBellum2024

@@michaelkeithson This is more or less how I think of modes. I play guitar, and I know scale shapes, but I don't read music or tab. By noodling over the "wrong" scale position, whatever I'm playing instantly evokes whichever mode corresponds with the difference in the position. Since I usually improvise, then sometimes it sounds great. Often, it sounds like someone practising arpeggios, though!
@TheStarlitfuse
@TheStarlitfuse 10 месяцев назад
​@@ParaBellum2024have you noticed that the first four notes of the ionian mode has the same finger pattern as the first four notes of the mixolydian mode regardless of key? The same is true for the dorian-aeolian and the phrygian-locrian modes. (Assuming you start each with the first finger)
