thank you Debra, have a great day...

the basic pattern is in E minor 12/13/15 B string 12/14/15 E string then I do examples in dorian, Phrygian, lydian Aeolian /E MINOR

@ronwilliams36 once you know the modes all the way through all 6 strings from G to G you will clearly see all the little phrases I am doing and you will be able to identify the mode it is in. I move around a lot but they are all in the same key G major / Eminor.

yes I’ve been learning the modes for a couple of months- I can go through them slow - needy to do more metronome work- I’m having trouble with the ones with the big stretch - I like to use my ring finger for the big stretch but my teacher says it would be better to use my middle finger- thanks for the info.

Depends on hand size and what is more comfortable I use my ring finger so index 3 ring 5 pinky 7 When you are ripping around 17/19/20/21/22/23/24 frets you may change it up bc frets are closer

sure, I put up so much stuff that people need to learn. I will put out another soon. thanks for watching !

I would say at least 15 minutes a day with a metronome, the hardest part is knowing where to play and what Key you are in.these examples are mostly G major with the relative minor being e G MAJOR/ e minor

So it is the last six notes in each mode Starting in locrian Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian , mixolydian, aeolian then your back to locrian at 15/17/19 in the key of Gmajor e minor It may seem confusing because I’m starting with the 1/2 diminished locrian mode Please subscribe, music has no rules Mr. Williams that’s why you can try different things if it sounds good it is good @ronwilliams36

Usually the modes are in this order Ionian, dorian, Phrygian, lydian , mixolydian, aeolian, then locrian, hopefully I answered your question.

@@SK43853 yes it did - my guitar teacher was having me switch between modes on the bottom string kinda like you were doing. Good info - thanks

IMO it's best to learn the modes from G to G on the low E String, because you can see all the notes visually other keys will have open strings. take a look at a few other videos and you'll see what I mean thanks..

Most if my learning has come from years of playing but if I could suggest 1 player to follow and even join his academy it would be KIKO LOUREIRO, I did an 9 hour workshop with him, he’s that good😊

Thank you, I have more content but I don’t want to put out so much that people don’t listen. A lot of these lessons are based off of my struggle’s 🤘🏻🤘🏻😊😊

I agree I have bigger and stronger hands genetics… have a good day, please subscribe

Hey Vic thanks a lot, if you do it on your PRS most likely the notes will ring out better, my action is super low which leads to less sustain. That exercise will really help your hand strength, you most likely heard me play it super loud when I was living next door. 😊

in the key of Gmajor/ E minor you would think that all the modes would sound great but sometimes the chord doesn't sound very good when playing all 7 notes , thank you for sharing your knowledge, every shape has the same 7 notes G/A/B/C/D/E/F#. are the notes in Gmaj/e minor, thank you I appreciate it, Have great day. I added you thanks again!!

your channel is great, videos all are good. you play very well with lots of melody!!! have a great day, thank you for sharing your knowledge I appreciate it.

@@SK43853 thanks man! Have a great day as well and keep shredding! I appreciate the kind words!

thank you for watching. have a good day please subscribe !!

thanks have a good weekend!!

Im going to buy some video equipment soon..

I watch a lot of guitar content and one thing I like about yours is they aren't long winded. You get right to teaching. Anything over 10 minutes loses me, I'm a get to the point person. I like that you called out the frets on this one, it's tough to sometimes see what frets people are playing. I'm Ted by the way. I live in Ohio. Good luck with the video equipment!

@@mazzetti8667 hi Ted nice to meet you, check out the one I did tonight I edited done to 6/7 minutes but it’s good for soloing over Diads and triads. it's 6 :47 minutes its pretty good. thanks. again.

Thanks I added you too, , it will sound really good on a telecaster. Have a good night !!

thank you!!!

thank you, my style is from years of playing and watching other players with some lessons here and there, have great day.

thank you I need to find out what to buy never have done this before. thanks again

@@SK43853 I recommend getting a better DSLR or mirrorless camera like the canon EOS series and using the usb mode to use that as a webcam, and a stienberg UR22 audio interface. Your guitar tone sounds killer so I’m sure you know how to get that in tone, then for the voiceover mic use a random condenser mic like the ones Mackie makes

@@fenixlolnope361 thank you I’ll look into this stuff the fact I’m 53 and have never done this I appreciate your input😊🤘🏻

Just so you know when I played the example I played F diminished not F# my mistake so at the end of the video I show how I go from locrian/Ionian/Dorian and then play E minor chord. I’m a rocker but try doing a 2/3 peddle tone and then bring in the minor chord followed by Diminished chord So in the example I play 6 minor scale notes 6 major scale notes and 6 diminished scale notes it’s very important to never land on a note that isn’t the 3/5 because the they both really highlights the chord the 5 reinforces the Tonic ..

I’m Steve too Steve Kennedy please subscribe and thank you for the feedback I appreciate it. Have great day. so as I say often if it sounds good it is good like ingwie malmsteen says! So if you play a chord that may not be in that chord progression that’s ok as long as it fits and sounds good

If you don’t understand the modes try to watch these videos I break them down pretty good for players at any level.

@@SK43853 Thank you! I have subscribed! I will watch the video on ear training with the key of D major later today!

You’ll like that video I break down how to find the key of a song And that every major key has a minor key associated with it hence G major/ E minor G/A/B/C/D/E at the 6 th degree

thank you , have a good day. I added you !!

Thank you please subscribe, hopefully the material I’m putting on my channel helps people who are trying just not succeeding Just practice and you’ll get there !!! I just moved back from California I lived there for a long time. I’m glad it helped you out..

You will like the harmonic minor scale , to me it sounds more ear pleasing in they key of E

It plays very good !!

I have a friend named Bradford delaura that sold me the 2014 I had. The one I’m playing in this video is a 2010 I have the COA and you can see videos of Gus G playing ESP guitars like this one it has all FLAME inlays The newer ones had the GUS G FIREWIND logo as inlays

thank you, have a good day!!

I use EMG 81 only 18 v power to it. neck p/u unhooked/ I use a VHT 2/90/2 TUBE POWER AMP AXE FX III RED MODERN ...MESA BOOGIE channel monster 2500 surge protector 2- 4x12 1960 a marshall cabinets I think most likely you’re hearing the fact I have 2- 4x12 cabinets going Gives a very full sound. the acoustics I get from running 2 cabs is amazing.

That's a lot of speakers! Surprised your aren't deaf, haha. I have an AXE FX III, I like that Mesa setting a lot too. The 5153 Red FX is my favorite setting.

check out the end of my last video I show all my equipment.

great run thru, maybe I need a 4x12. just using a 1x12 now but have been happy with it...

@@mazzetti8667 that’s fine, I just like the full surround sound effects. like I said in the video I’m fortunate that I have all the equipment I like. The main reason why I use the 4x12 cabs is because I have the 2 channel power amp the has an A and B so each side of power amp runs I cab But if you only have 20/35 amp gear It doesn’t make much sense to have a 4x 12 cab

you're welcome, have a good night!

thanks have a great day..

I edited the one I just did on mixolydian. Thank you for watching it! yes they do evoke moods darker LOCRIAN or lighter LYDIAN. the major modes have major chords happier the minor modes have minor chords sadder. I did get to see a little bit of it .

Hey @dufusbug I uploaded the original Try to watch all of it because I show examples of how the mode matches the chord And I also play in a minor mode and you can hear examples of why it’s best to not solo over a major chord with a minor mode vise versus a major chord over minor mode…enjoy I really hope this helps you guys out

thank you , please subscribe, have a good day!!!

that sounds correct as long as all the other chords fall in line with W/W/H/W/W/W/H. hope that helps usually the 7th is the only diminished chord in a Major chord progression.that would be a very sad sounding chord progression. So here’s the deal you could just change that one chord only and see if you like the diminished chord better. It may not be correct theory wise but if you like it than keep it. if any of my subscribers know different please share your knowledge. thanks Steve

you're welcome.. I will be adding the rest of the modes soon, so they will all be laid out in the key of G major/E minor.. please subscribe.

The second one I was off the whole time that’s why I stopped and restarted I was going to fast …😊

@@SK43853 keep at it bro, camera adds stress i am sure. Just kicking a little flack.

thanks have a good weekend

I edited it out the best I could, have a good weekend!!

its pretty hard to do and I messed up a bit. Thank you , have a good day..I did the main part that satchel from steel panther does look up satchel solo 2009 and you can see how good he is, he graduated from GIT and is in the top 10 guitarist IMO. he played with Paul Gilbert. if you look up the solo he is playing an orange Kramer.

@SK43853 satchel is a fenominal guitarist. You did great. GOD bless you sir. Go HOGS!!

@@bestelectricalservices7495 if you watch him real close you will see that I do some of the stuff he does bc I have watched him a lot

thank you , have a good day!!

please subscribe, thanks again

More to come! have a good night

good stuff @jevinday keep up the good work. happy to hear you're getting something out of these short lessons.

keep using your fingers that's a great ability to have.just try to alternate pick too !!

thank you @thesabbath483, this guitar is built to play fast, with that said I can understand how Gus G played it so well. Not putting LTD down but this ESP is a face melter...lol

@@SK43853 Yeah, looks like a nice comfy guitar indeed. I should consider getting one in the future.

It is very easy to play very comfortable neck.

right on please subscribe , have a great day !!

@@SK43853 already did. 😉

thank you very much, keep practicing and have fun !!

thank you very much, have a great day !!

@@SK43853 You too 🤘

This video didn’t turn out that good IMO. I may redo it but it’s all facts and there is no rules about modes or music so record yourself and see how you sound . My ears are kind of messed so I try to play at lower volumes.

@@SK43853 I'm actually really focused on rythm as guitar player, that's my main thing and that's what I want to master first, but I also love lead playing, and I want to be able to solo and improvise and shred the way you show it.

I try to put information out that musicians of all levels can understand. There are still some things I even have questions about. Thank you for the compliment @thesabbath483

You are so welcome! just go slow and practice as much as possible. Thank s for subscribing, have a great day.

right on thank your subscribing, in all honesty most of those guys or gals are upset about something different. Have a great day, I'll try to get more info out this week. thanks again

and about being stuck at intermediate level that can change easily with chord knowledge, but its hard bc most rock is in Gmaj/ Eminor or C maj/ A /minor. some in D or B. so its easy to get locked into the first two keys I mentioned. take a stab an E harmonic minor has the raised 7th. sounds very Egyptian style. have a good night.

thank you, have a good weekend!!!

Thank you have a good weekend.

Did some other examples too!!😊

I've never understood how to get that sound like I hear Zakk Wylde get until I saw you doing the intermittent speed picking. Already applied it to the guitar so many thanks for demonstrating

@@vintagemxiron8390 right on , you can also get harmonics by picking a certain way, a lot of older guitar players do it when they bend 1/2 or full step. It adds to a feel to a solo Sometimes you may do it by accident.😊

thanks for watching, and subscribing, have a goo day bro!!

most likely you're hearing some buzz from action set so low on guitar, my rig is all rack gear, have a great day. VHT 2/90/2 POWER AMP AXE FX III / 2 MARSHALL 1960 A CABINETS WITH 75 WATT CELESTIONS monster 2500 surge protector.
