Chain modes for SUPER moody solos – You never used modes like this!
For modal chains you will use modes of the major scale like you never did before! Modal chaining makes use of the common tone modulation. In stead of using a random note, we’ll use the characteristic note of the mode for a real special sound.
Like this we’ll chain a couple of the same modes but with a different tonic. For instance, C Lydian - B Lydian - A Lydian - Eb Lydian. Anything goes. We can do this with all the modes of the major scale like the Dorian mode, the Phrygian mode, the Lydian mode, the Mixolydian mode, and the Aeolian mode.
I’ll explain the concept and something about common note modulation. I give you two examples in the Lydian and Dorian mode. The last one sounds a tiny bit like Soil Festivities by Vangelis.
If you’re note familiar with modes or the characteristic note of a mode (the modal trigger note) the I’ll suggest you watch this video:

Amazing video! Thank you!

Very inspirational ! Now it would have been nice to see an example of a chain between different modes. For example, to say whatever, from Dorian to Phrygian.
Ive just noticed, after thoroughly examining a lot of videos of modes.... that Ive always used them, and never realized how I was using them. I still don't know how I am using them, but at least I know that I don't know how I use something I didn't know I knew! Keep practicing, studying more, which one should I focus on
gem of a lesson... thank you so much
Hi Rob, yours is one of the bets music instructional on CZcams. Thanks a lot. I learn a lot with your lessons and your backing tracks
Great Music teacher 👍
I have watched so many people with different kinds of explaination but I believe this is the easiest illustration to learn by heart. Thank you very much !
Hi Rob, thanks for your clear explanation on that tricky notions & concepts. If I'm not wrong, I think there is a mistake on your screen at 16:12 / 21:53 when mentioning Bm7b5 as a possible chord in negative harmony for G7 chord. It should be more Dm7b5, what do you think? Thanks again for your work.
my brain : you not ready for this me : shut up let me eat it
Excellent. Well illustrated and explained. Thanks.
Sounds like some Pat Metheny shit.
You have, by far, made the most informative and clear videos with absolutely helpful examples. You understand it's not just explaining a concept, it's also how can this concept be used. And that is equally as important as knowing a concept.
Thanks!
Great examples! However I still dont get how do we decide on the last note of the phrase? Like in lydian we end the phrase on major7 but in dorian we end on a root? How do I choose the last note of the other modes?
It's not important what the function of the end note is in the active key or mode. Just make sure the end note is the characteristic note of the mode in the next bar.
Thank you so much sir ❤️❤❤❤
@QJamTracks, is it still considered negative harmony if every note is reflected over another axis, say through C so C maps to C, B maps to Db, Bb maps to D, etc?
No... because then the essence of NH is not present anymore and that is that the gravity to the tonic of chord negative harmony should be the same as the original chord. G7 to C has the same strong resolution as Fm6 to C in NH.
Your explanation made things easy! Thank you!! Great playing, by the way!
Thanks!
For the Love of God... go on producing such enlightening videos.
Whoa whoa whoa how did we get from power chords to finger spaghetti
i guess locrian mode is just having an existential crisis then 😂
Excellent 😊
I THINK the diagram where you have all 9 minor triads on strings 2, 3 and 4 root position is incorrect. Please let me know.
The diagrams at 8:40 are indeed shifted on position to low.
@@QJamTracks TY for responding; much appreciated
Amazing video, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the diminished diagrams at 11:22 are completely wrong for the last (bottom) fretboard.
Yes, that is a mistake...
Good stuff but during the 11:00 section the Lydian Augmented isn’t correct. You need to sharp the 5th. Also the altered is incorrect. You need to flat the 4th.
This was exactly what I needed in a jazz blues lesson. Dutch Master! 😀
I enjoyed the Monty Python references throughout this mini series. 🦶
:)
Uno de los mejores maestros de guitarra, muy buenos tutoriales de lo mejor, thanks QJamTracks for Share
Thank you!
He is such a GOOD GUITAR TEACHER and the video presentation is fantastic. I can say he knows everything about music theory, and I feel like he stuffing my head with music theory, and sometimes, l feel like my head gonna explode, and I love it. Thank you so much for all the knowledge, and I can truly say I understand music theory much, much better. Thank you again and have an awesome day.
Thank you!
How do you figure out trigger notes for other scales like for example Phrygian Dominant and Hungarian minor?
Always compare the scale to a either a minor or major scale depending on the quality of the scale itself. Sometimes a scale has more than one characteristic note. The double harmonic minor (Hungarian minor) for instance is obvious a minor scale. The major 7th is a characteristic note, but not unique. Think of the harmonic minor scale and melodic minor scale for instance. Both are minor scales and have a major 7th. But the combination of the augmented 4th and major 7th is unique. So, both notes are characteristic for this scale and especially the combination.
Lydian modal chain definitely screams "Steve vai" !
Yes, I love that sound :)
Really good.
Really interesting and beautiful!
Two things at this time at this age are fantastic for me : CZcams and You
Thank you !
Really appreciate for this deep and meaningful tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
I have heard this sound many times without understanding the theory behind it. Now I see how simple, musical and logical it is. Thank you my teacher. You are a blessing to us that subscribe.
This video is definitely one of my favorites of yours. I will try this method this weekend.
Awesome idea, thanks! I’m keen to test out some variations on this. Great way to get a song moving in a different direction or breakout of a pattern, I think.
Thank you Tim!!
Extremely well laid out! Your explanation was masterful!
Best explanation I've run across. Multiple thanks.
Lydian modal chain was gorgeous sounding. The trick then is play the Lydian "scale" for each named chord getting your tones in so you can be on the next chords' root tone, which is shared with the Lydian scale of the previous chord.
You should end your line on the characteristic note of the mode of the next chord...
@@QJamTracks Thank you!
I love this and also The Fast Show
Really novel (to me) and interesting
How did you learn all this, did you have to get the infinity stones or aomething cause I swear your knowledge is endless.
This is not something you would learn on a music academy, but maybe more by experimenting and of course listen to others and try to get the same effect :)
What an amazing idea!
THANK YOU FOR THIS LESSON
very good.
Great way to change to mood of a song using Music Theory math. oGreat way to change to mood of a song using Music Theory math. Like your series in Negative Harmony
Lydian, my favourite of all the (major) modes.
Not sure how much i followed, but is this a more advanced form of pitch axis theory ?
Yes, it is connected with no doubt, but pitch axis means that you evolve modes around one and the same note. This is different, because you'll use target notes for the modes that are all different. In pitch axis the modes change and the pivot note stays the same, while in modal chaining the mode stays the same and the pivot notes change...
oro puro !!! muchas gracias ! espectacular canal
Gracias!
