For years, I was intimidated by modes. Those fancy names just made me assume that they were complicated and beyond my understanding. But if you know just a little bit of music theory, they're ridiculously easy to grasp. In this video, we'll talk about relative keys, parallel keys, the seven modes, and even modal scales. We'll dig into musical examples of Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. By the end of this guitar lesson, you will have a complete understanding of what modes are and how to use them in your guitar playing.
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

An intersing thing is that when I stumbled into modal theory, it was described something like lowering or rising one or a few notes of a given major scale. It is definitely easier to sense th unique flavors of modes this way, but this video made a great job of simply connecting basic major scale knowledge to the complex topic of modes. It's quite hard to find such a grounded and straight-to-the-point kind of explanation. Big thanks!
@andrewclarkeguitar
@andrewclarkeguitar Год назад
Yes! That's an important way of looking at modes for sure. I just find it's easier to grasp the basics by looking at them as relative keys/scales first, then once you grasp the basic concept, you can look at them as parallel keys/scales so you can really hear the distinct sounds. Thank you very much for the kind words. :)

I would love to see one on what to think about while soloing over changes (ie switching scales as the chords change, staying in the primary key/scale only, soloing in one key but hitting core tones as the keys pass, etc) I think you would have really good thoughts on that…

What about soloing? Do you use the mode scale that the chord progression is based on, or do you play the mode based on the chord - 1 chord ionian, 4 chord Lydian, 5 chord mixolydian…… or do you simply choose a any mode you want to play over any chord progression based on the feel/sound you want?

Also, the term diatonic gets thrown around a lot here, might be nice to add a definition in there somewhere. Just a cursory Google search turned up: Diatonic - A diatonic scale is a type of music scale with seven notes. Diatonic scales has two semitone intervals (half steps) and five tone intervals (whole steps) within one octave. Diatonic scales use all seven pitch letter names (A, B, C, D etc.) in sequence without skipping any. -- For someone who has learned guitar mostly by ear, the relation to shifts in "pitches" in this definition clicked for me.

@paulpo999
@paulpo999 Год назад
great video. for modal scales scales you show a diagram of a C major shape and play from the second degree for dorian or the fifth degree for mixolydian etc, - i get that. but when playing, do you mentally rename the mode's tonic as "1", or do you keep seeing it as the "5" of the major key scale (for mixolydian)? I keep getting confused because if i play from the "5" in the Cmaj shape (G), I'm in mixolydian. but if i don''t want to use the full seven note scale, i think G major pentatonic - and presto, the fifth degree of C major mentally becomes my 1 in the pentatonic box shape. Going back an forth between these two ways of thinking about the notes is mentally fatiguing. The only option i can think of is to learn 5 new seven note shapes for each mode where the mode's tonic is seen as the 1.That way i could go back and forth between the 7 note modal scale and pentatonic scale with the tonic staying as the 1 in my brain. But that seems like a waste since the modes all live in the 5 seven note major scale boxes i know so well.

Haha, I know right? There is definitely a more advanced application of modes that you can get into from here. Namely, using parallel modes instead of just viewing them as relative scales. Thanks for checking out the video :)

Mind blown a bit.. Oct but really known about chord's being in different modes.. I've heard it more in scales.. only thing is videos I've watched on this, they modify the major scale or pentatonic b by flattering and sharpening notes.. that's different to what you showed at the end? Bit confused
@andrewclarkeguitar
@andrewclarkeguitar Год назад
What you're describing is using parallel scales rather than relative scales. Two ways to arrive at the same conclusion. For example, changing the notes in a D major scale so that it becomes D Mixolydian would be finding a parallel scale. Both scales would start on a D note, but the remaining notes would be different. In this video, we're finding relative scales. So starting a D major scale on the 5th note (A) would give us A Mixolydian. These scales would start on different notes, but every single note from the scales would be the same. I hope that helps a bit. It can get pretty confusing pretty fast.
@jasond626
@jasond626 Год назад
@@andrewclarkeguitar still bit confused.. I understand the starting note more about the key. The modes in scales that I've seen is different to what you showed. Other videos I've seen show the variation in the major or pentatonic.. if you could do a more on depth video on scales that would be good. Plus scales you can move diagonally across the neck and not just in boxes. Would be good to see a video also on the different positions of the scales (major and pentatonic a good start). Would be helpful to refer back to. The g major scales I know starts on the 3rd fret but I've noticed you use a different scale shape for the major roadmap where you finished on the e (12 thb fret). You finished on that note..

Help! My brain is breaking trying to understand this... I've watched a lot of video trying to explain modes, and I feel like every single explanation is missing some fundamental piece of info that makes the last 70% of the vid sound like gibberish to me... Here is where I keep getting tripped up: I get the basic idea that Dorian mode is taking the C-Major scale only using the 2nd degree, in this case D, as the tonic. Phrygian is using the 3rd degree as the tonic, etc all the way up the scale to Locrian. You can go through this process with any scale. This all makes sense. AND YET... this logically leads me to assume that if you say you're in the E Dorian scale, that means I should go to the E Major scale, and start playing it from the 2nd Degree! If you say C Dorian scale, I would assume that means go to the C-Major scale, and start playing it from the 2nd degree! BUT THEN the video will show me what they are calling the C Dorian scale, only it has 2 flats in it! Which it should not have if it's just playing from the 2nd degree of the C-Major scale! So clearly the thing that is labeled as "C Dorian" is NOT just playing from the 2nd Degree of C-Major. What am I missing? I think the answer lies in the difference between relative and parallel modes, but I cannot decipher it. Mostly I want to know why it doesn't work in the way I would assume. Saying, "hey, play this scale you already know starting on the X degree" seems way more straight-forward than whatever weird numeric alchemy gets me to a C Dorian with 2 flats.
@justinbryancaro409
@justinbryancaro409 5 дней назад
I think you are confused with the difference between dorian and major scale. From what i understand, Dorian is different from the major scale. The tonic of dorian is the second note of the scale. Which means that If i say that im in E dorian, im using D major scale. Because E is the second note of the D major scale. That is why it is called dorian. If i say that im in C dorian, im using B major scale because the second note of B major scale is C. For example, if someone said, "hey, play A dorian scale." That means i will be playing in the key of G major. But i will use A dorian scale shape because is the second note of G major scale. Hope it helps 😅
