Chris is one of the guys I found a few years ago when I got serious about guitar and he’s a gem. It’s criminal that’s he doesn’t have a 1MM plus subscribers. What an amazing teacher !
This lesson was made directly for me, just blindly running up and down scales, wondering how I can make sense of it all. Then I think, play G mixolydian from here and am struggling to jump to the next string thinking "is it 3 frets up or just 2?" Thank you Chris.
You are SO welcome. Once you take the time to engage your brain like this, recognition accelerates, and you are less and less likely to "un-see" the architecture.
Wow! This video lesson, along with your Golden Warmup, provides a whole new context to making music (the heck with scales). And combining this 2nps with a pure single-string exploration (7nps?) is mind-blowing. Thanks!
Just yesterday I was checking if you had uploaded new staff eventhough there are some videos here I haven't taken the time to practice for a couple of weeks, because I'm working on other subjects. But this is how we are curious!... Thank you for the knowledge!...
@@curiousguitaristSo glad to see you posting again. I was wondering where you were. Always a pleasure to watch, and ALWAYS informative. Thank you so much!😊
Great video! Do you think looking at patterns (with the evil dots) is necessary for folks to try to memorize them, fail, then learn it's all about the intervals, not rote memorization of different patterns?
Patterns have their power, and yes, it's EARLY on in the process. But once you can shift your cognitive attention to the relationships, THAT'S when it begins to come together.
I get what you're doing with the modes and will give it a try, Chis. But it seems like still a lot of mental math to adjust for the flats and I'm not getting how it's the same pattern all along the scale (yeah, I know B Dorian is A maj scale pattern starting on B as root but now it looks like the 2-string pattern is all different). I must have missed something will keep at it a while.
@@uhklem stick with it, the pattern is indeed different and that reflects the modal changes to the scale. While you can track sharps and flats, this is really meant to show the alterations to through the pattern changes. Let me know if you need more info!!
@@adrianjones520 sounds good, you’ll miss the major and minor second dyad opportunities a lot more, but if that’s not something that you like, then it’s all good. That said, ANY constraint deployed in Melodic soloing brings about HUGE creative returns. Thanks for the views and comment.
