Great video. The examples really make the Dorian mode clear

More than any other patterns, for me, this is the Rosetta Stone of the guitar.

Db/Bb minor is the same key.. its not modal mixture. Modal mixture would be parallel modes with the same tonic... borrowing chords from Db mixo or Db dorian ..etc..... You dont borrow chords from the same key

Hey George, I mean Frank, no, Mike, can you address the sea change in the Beatles' songs. I'm talking about how some grade school mates went from releasing, what is it, Chuck Berry or B.B. King, my mind is failing, apologies, from releasing simple derivative songs taken from black American blues artist(s) and then in the span of a couple years (or so) to insanely rich, harmonically complex songs that is the equivalent of starting with a simple game of checkers and quickly transitioning to a Lamborghini Revuelto. You're kind of addressing this point at 27:50 , and for a couple minutes after, at least McCartney's hidden music theoretical/harmonic knowledge. But I'm speaking about the whole band's sudden transition, or relatively sudden profound upgrade in song writing abilities. Again, moving from exclusively releasing simple, derivative songs to masterful, complex, dynamic and timeless songs, in just a couple years or so. How did this happen? Is this even intellectually, artistically reasonable, possible? Oh, and 36:13, I'm listening as I crudely type out this comment, but yeah, me too, I don't really get Dylan. Big problem between me and my dad. I was down with all of his music from my childhood, sti informs me to this day, from Breakfast with the Beatles every Saturday, or was it Sunday, morning, to Crosby, Stills and Nash and that twerp Young, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan etc. really just to name a few of the greats from that time. But Dylan... oh God! I was the black sheep. And my dad had a Martin guitar that was thunderous, and he'd play and sing Dillon songs and it was painful. But, here is a lowbrow tip that I just realized this last Saturday night... in the closing shots of a movie I was watching (a film suggesting that Autists would make great assassins, really wholesome stuff) there was a cover of a Dylan song, and I was into it, and then I recalled having the same prior reaction to hearing another Dylan song, I think used in a soundtrack as well... So, the tip is just lysten to quality covers of Dylan and I swear his music opens up. There is something about his voice and his performance of his music that rubs me the wrong way... sonicly, stylistically, even... I don't know, I get an overwhelming impression that he is faking it, a profound fraud, somehow. But with a cover, the cover artist is openly faking it, but then bringing their authentic musical essence to the work, which, again, opens the music up for me, and the value of it becomes apparent. Just a tip! Was so shocked many years ago in my youth when I found out Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower was a Dylan song. It was like learning you'd just eaten and enjoyed a rotten egg... Anyway, sorry for the tangent, but I can relate, brother, but uh, get back to making that video for me explaining how a few nobodies from nowhere, childhood friends could go from "writing" simple ripoffs to releasing western pop, and beyond, masterworks, in just a few years time. It doesn't make sense, and doesn't square with my understanding of how the human mind, even a band/collective mind works. Were the drugs better back then? Did they get a download from a UAP, or the nether world, perhaps? Are the Muses, in fact and after all, real? Did they achieve enough success with their pretty boy faces and masterful marketing, that somebody dished out for deeply talented phantom songwriters to write further works, realizing the simple blues ripoffs were a dead end, and potentially too infringing? I jest a bit, but I'd really like to wrap my head around this. I mean, if such a transition is naturally possible, well then, I suppose I could have that transition in the last few months Western Civilization has left?

Had to give my brain a rest from theory for a few weeks, but this Is a good place to start picking it up again, since in my Childhood they were THE band to listen to. I would listen to their albums all the time on a little mono record player with one little speaker.

Clear as mud!

The major II is the Secondary Dominant of V , The Major VI is the Secondary Dominant of the major II , The major III is the Secondary Dominant of VI? The flat major bVI is a Tritone of the major II chord secondary dominant chord of V, which the bVI chord is from the key of Db minor.

Mike, did you figure the green for 528 Hz and the red for 740 Hz for the tritones? Brilliant.

Having trouble? Break this video down. Stop at 5:28 and figure out the tritones. Etc. There is a lot of information here. Unless you are advanced, it's going to take time and effort to get it. 😇👍🏻

A string is a chromatic scale, East and West. A fret is a segment of the circle if fifths, North & South. Wow.

Damn. I never thought of it like that.

ok, i gotta ask..where did you get that circle?

I've seen other materials where the semitones are sharps not flats... which is right then?

Sharps not flats!!

I thought it was : E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D# Then it became : E, F,Gb,G,Ab,A,Bb,B,C,Db,D Are those the same note??

Are those color tabs on the fretboard something you can buy? Is there a lesson on how to they work? I can tell that it has something to do with the Circle of Fifths.

my fave Monkees tune

These seems pretty cool. I remember the fundamental question I had when I was trying to learn guitar was “which note are in each fret ?” Nobody could answer precisely because they only knew hand positions. I still don’t play it, but this will be super useful when I decided to go back at it

Thank you thank you thank you...

Impressive.. it gave me ideas where i never knew to go

please, do this for all the other modes, i like seeing progressions, to give me ideas

SO the colors are no more than a mnemonic device for associating tones. It's super confusing when musicians talk about the color of a tone, when it's really no more than an association, and sound doesn't really have any scientific correlation to sound.

This is the best video on music Theory on CZcams. I don't know what these negative comments are on about. This is profound.

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing. I was searching for an explanation of Dorian chord patterns, and here it is! Very well explained.

I would say you’ve blown my mind but you did that already a few videos ago. So now I have no more brain cells🙄😅 Fantastic musical insights yet again! Thank you!! 👌🏾

Thanks Mike

I'm kind of surprised you list the notes as flats rather than sharps. When I think of the B string, I would read the progression down the frets as being C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A A#, B and lastly, C. Truly enough, the key signature could be in flats, but I'm more used to seeing sharps defining the key sig. What is your reasoning behind listing the the half note progression in flats?

I wish I found this 10 years ago lol! Thank you so much!!

Get 2 the point...2 much jabbering

I'm a beginner, and I've been trying to play from sheet music for a while now, and this has finally made it click for me.

OMG can I come live with you Yoda? I swear severely visual people like me NEED to learn a different way! You are on to something ! Thank you!

It is G7 not Gmaj7 right?

Listen mate… Don’t waste your time justifying what you’re doing. If people don’t resonate with you they have plenty more channels and other sources of information to choose from. Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re Fantastic and align with my way of thinking about this spectacular language …

😂😂😂 I thot I learning guitar, instead I m learning how to verbal diarrhea😂

Best way to learn the scales is by practicing them. I have progressively improved at scales by playing backing tracks at the same time that I have the scale at hand and start improvising and creating my own patterns. Then I record my self and then I listen to it. I also listen to my fav bassists and see their techniques. I do this with the bass and guitar. It has been really helpful for me at least.

doesn't work for me

I tryed to understand it 1 year ago. Came back today still cant get it today. All my i have been doing music with intuetion and sub consciously. I just cant understand it. I just can make melodies or chord just by placing my hand on piano and closing my eys. What is even the use of circles of 5th i still can understand

Thank you so much, great video. I am left handed and am learning the guitar in right handed way. Does that offer some advantage? 😄

i want my minute back

Inersection? no... Crossroads.......yes lol. I break my brain regularly.

awesome, thanks

I've always thought about this...

Excellent new direction to focus on. good rhythm technique is a mandatory music requirement, looking forward to your deep dive on this topic ✌️

Your a great teacher. . Shut up and play. L.ol.

Extremely helpful, this is so hard for me to pickup correctly.
