Hey guys, really hope you enjoy this lesson all about the modes, coming up is a big lesson on how to apply them as well so hopefully everything you would need :-)
That's a great way to get your head around modes and how to find them easily really had a penny dripping moment in a quick way to find alternative scales ! Awesome thank you!
Thank you so, so much for this. I love the way you teach and break things down in a friendly but also uncluttered manner, if that makes sense! It's nice to get the information required, laid out simply and presented so well to help digest it - thank you and I look forward to future lessons!
Definitely one of the more orderly and easy to digest explanations I've seen of this. Some teachers tend to overcomplicate it to no end. This was good. Thanks! Looking forward to the next installment as my application of it all leaves something be desired. I hope you'll go further into how the chord choices form the basis of the modes. When it goes beyond ionian and aeolian I'm still a bit confused with how to approach that when making a progression.
Thanks Rob, it has explained a lot of mysterious words and phrases i keep hearing! I will be going over it again as i got a bit lost toward the end!
Thanks Chappers. Will have to watch this one over and over and over.
When I was a kid, there was no internet, I taught myself guitar. My bible was an old, skinny, coverless book called The Rudiments of Music.
On the very last page was an example of modal scales. Nothing on how to apply them. Oh what fun I had.
Thanks for the video Rob.
What an explanation! Might have to watch it a hundred times but I’ll get there
Been playing over a decade mindlessly, almost no theory at all, knew only 2 scales. Started learning the basic pentatonic scales, and then added one scale that i always loved (D major starting on 12th fret), and that made me realize how everything connects and made things so much easier to understand, and made me really excited about finally understanding why some things work and some dont. This video also helped a bit, however a lot of things were definitely flew over my head. I guess i need more basics until i can fully appreciate these lessons
This video really helped a lot. And the presentation was superb. Must be that lovely Malta sunshine.
I am taught buy the two Roberts: Chapman and Baker.
Even with formal education with guitar and music in general, these are still areas I've struggled to fully grasp and apply. This helped A LOT! Thanks for making me better, Rob!🤘🏼
Loving these videos, Rob
After 40 years self taught, I am goingn to learn some theory. Thank you Chappers I'm a big fan xx
Rob you are an excellent teacher. Frightfully well explained and so useful!!!!
Agreed, self-teaching is challenging!! I started to learn last November during the lockdown, good a time as any right! watched a bunch of videos, of yours and others, and went off to Andertons to buy the Ibanez I had decided on. Couldn't play a note, nothing, but full of major determination. Fast forward to now, I can play dozens of chords, barre, open, etc, all 5 pentatonic scales, 5 major scales, happily connected all over the fretboard, can jam away with backing tracks, sounds alright actually!! However!!! ......with no teacher I am missing bits, probably loads of bad habits, if someone asks me to play a tune they know, I don't have a clue!! lol. This and other videos of yours really really help!! you have a tremendous eloquent way of getting the points across, imo, many thanks dude, much appreciated :):)
Great video Rob and beautiful location aswell thanks
Well said in the intro!! Awesome as always
I watched this about a year ago when I bought this series. Finally made sense of modes for me. Thanked you then, and I thank you again! 👍🏼🎸
Best I've seen for understanding modes.
I just love this series. You really can explain and teach.
Thank you sir, I appreciate that :-)
Great video, thanks mate. I've learned so much from it in just a few minutes!
Wow! Been trying for a long time on my own and you just opened my eyes!! Thank you Rob! 👍👍
I know it's a HUGE time commitment and you're a busy man, but I would LOVE to see a series of videos where you use each last mode and create some sort song (doesn't have to be a full thing). Would be a great teaching opportunity, AND a cool challenge for yourself! Maybe you can look at it as trying to write an EP, aiming to make the music feel connected all while using the 7 modes of the major scale!
Just a thought, it'd be incredible! Thanks for entertaining and educating me through the years! I'm glad to see a stronger Chapman presence on CZcams.
This is actually a quality guitar lesson thank you
I always love seeing your 10th Anniversary Pro X nicely presented in these great videos, as I'm a lucky owner of one too 😉

Love the teachings of the wizard Rob! Using the power of the internet for the good of music!
Thanks dude, I am open and receptive to all good :-)
@@RobChappers 🤘🏼I feel this is blocking my creativity a bit and have to push my self to learn the modes effectively and efficiently then make music.
Cool 👍
You're a natural at teaching Rob! BTW, looking at those beautiful Maltese back roads, can't help thinking how cool would it be to have a Chappers Guitar Camp in Malta at some point (??). Get some of your pals down there (Bea, the Andertons gang, Gus G, some Chapman artists, your band of course, etc...) That could be an awesome guitar event!! Anyway, a guitar nerd can only dream...
Definitely something that will happen, thanks for watching dude :-)
Amazing, this was a light bulb turning on moment for me! I thought the modes were the changing of the pentatonic shapes not the relationship of the root note.
@Rob Chapman, great video and teaching style. Where can I go to purchase a DVD or lessons from you?
Rob !!!!!!!!!!…. This was amazing I eat up every nugget u throw us and this by far was one of the best and you know How I love the style of music that you play and are currently producing and I would give anything to be one of your students you keep saying that you have students how do I become one and I have tried every way in the world to order or acquire one of your telecasters because there’s no other sound that mimics the sound of your telecaster so please help me I think I have fought longer trying to find your telecaster than I did fighting for my country lol
Hi butch, thank you so much man. I was a full-time guitar teacher about 10 years ago taught for many many years but then stopped when bands and guitar company picked up. I still occasionally teach online or at clinics on tour though
@@RobChappers i’d binge watch your videos all the time actually I am watching your 10 chord video right now I just learned from you so easily I was a decent guitar player before I was in the Marine Corps and I was in an IED And I’m having to learn Difference technique and ways to adapt and remembering is one of my main hurdles also I’ve have a few of my buddies brag about your telecaster and that’s one reason why I want it is because of the ergonomics And I can’t find one nowhere I have a prosthetic left shoulder now and the neck is one of the main components that makes me able to play or not to play depending how it’s made
Rob you just added the missing piece regarding the 6 th degree being minor
Thanks Mr C sir!
Malta looks gorgeous
Hi Mr. Chapman. Thanks for this comprehensive content. If I have 30 min to practice. Should I do 1 mode in multiple octave (blocks on the fretboard) or multiple modes on the same key and octave? Which approach do you think is better to be good with modes?
As said below - jam over a backing track, much more important to focus on the music once you know the shapes
Ironically I've been reteaching myself all this over the past week. I've been pulling some major notes into pentatonic riffs to remind me that breaking out of the box is a fun thing...
Good lesson Sir Chappers
Cheers Jesse :-)
Being a great teacher is a totally different talent than being a great musician. Which alot of musicians don't have the patience for it and some people really just don't like helping others or want to see others do well. I have all these posters on my wall with this stuff but I don't study it like I should so this is definitely a lesson the self taught musician in me needed to see so Danke
Rob, wish some of your merchandise for Clockwork Wolf & Co. came in larger sizes than XL for us big boys in the states. 2XL and 3XL would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John I’ll pass that info back to the guys :-)
@@RobChappers Rob, if these shirt sizes become available, let me know? I will purchase them if so. Also, is the new release of your music going to be available on cd??
That was great Rob but I’m even more confused after learning ‘isn’t she lovely’ which has an E9 ? Is this the flat 2nd example you started this video with? This is why learning theory is like learning Greek! Greetings from Scotland anywho ... I hope my question doesn’t make me sound as thick as I feel! Long time fan.
Hi Tony, a Ninth is basically a Second (not flattened) but played an octave higher up; it should be the highest note in the chord. (It will sound very different from adding a Second into the chord, which would sound nastier, recommend you try that anyway so you can hear the difference...) Happy playing!
The only thing I will say that might be confusing about this lesson to a beginner is that you explain harmonizing a major scale but then teach parallel modes (everything originating from the same root) instead of starting with derivative modes (everything originating from a subsequent scale degree)
Arguably it is more useful in the long run (on the guitar) to understand parallel modes, but if the basis of this lesson is the major scale followed by harmonizing the major scale, I think the logical next step would be to start with derivative modes to show how the chords formed from each scale degree can correspond to a particular mode (and also just understanding where modes actually come from) and then follow with parallel to help people understand how these modes are formed intervalically.
Application of the modes comes in a following video. I find it easier for students to visualise the parallel method at the offset, but I appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching :-)
I'm not about to watch this, but I'm gonna explain how I learned the modes.
I learned a ton of metal, mainly melodeath, by ear. I realized they were all using the same fretting but different tunings. Come to find out, they almost all just play in e minor. Transpose that to whatever the 'E' string is tuned to.
So I unwittingly learned the minor scale by heart in high school.
Then I just learned all the finger positions of that, and that is the modes. Open e root note? Minor scale. F#, second fret root note? That's another mode of f#. Third fret, g, root note? That's another mode of g. Etc...
Idk which mode is which, but I know them all, completely by accident.
I've then just practiced not thinking by what fret I'm playing, but what the spaces between notes are. I'm still not as proficient as a jazz guy, by far, or even just someone who memorized this crap. But if someone says this is is f# Dorian, I can ask what the relative minor is and be fine.
As Skwisgar said, I have music dyslexkia. Written theory makes me want to go get a degree in physics and actually get paid for the work. Let's jam.
Oh yeah, I also learned harmonic minor, Hungarian minor and a few other lesser used scales to spice things up. I'm just trying to help out the bedroom metal guys who don't need a jazz degree to shred.
The double harmonic major is my favorite I've been working on. I plan to write something dreary with that once I can improvise with it.
I feel many guitarists feel they don't need to know the major scale/modes. That just limits the possibilities...
I want to play by ear. Is it ok? Just for fun. Still love your videos :D
Of course, 100% - there are many highly successful guitar players who play without theory, most important thing of all is to have fun :-)
These lessons are absolutely game changing. I’m 3 weeks into my guitar journey and am unbelievably excited about my future as a songwriter and guitarist because of you Rob! You have completely demystified the fretboard and music theory in this series of lessons. Thank you so much and keep them coming 🙌🏻
Regardless of what people have said about "Chappers" on this platform. Theres no denying hes a bloody good teacher.
@@Neil-Aspinall im having no part of it lol. CZcams keeps floating the videos about 18 months later lol
This is all black magic. Do I have to be a math genius to be even a mediocre guitar player? I'll do my best. Thanks!
Great info. Thank you
BTW
THIS IS M A G A COUNTRY!🇺🇸
