I gave up on modes a long time ago

Best way to finally make me understand modes.
I never thought I would understand it.

That’s it man!!
This video made me understand modes in an easier way. I saw it as layering the characteristics of a mode onto the scale with it's flats. Great video, you are an excellent teacher and player!

Man!!! This confirms everything I discovered with modes a few nights ago. I sat down, worked out and made sense of all this, having never studied modes before.

We really appreciate ❤
Appreciate it man!!
Thanks I was having trouble understanding mode you made it very simple and very understanding thank you
Thanks so much!
Awesome awesome
Modes took me a long time to grasp, but when I got it, it just makes sense to me.
Yeah, i only heard of them a year before i started my channel. People made it way more complicated than necessary tho
I can honestly say this has been very helpful in putting things together in my head. I understood the basic concept of modes but something clicked during this session/video. Essentially if you know what the sharps or flats are on that note’s major scale you flatten or sharpen them to get the mode. So D major scale has two sharps, F&C sharp so to get D Dorian mode I flatten the F&C (3rd and 7th) notes.
This help a lot
Glad it was helpful!
I feel my help coming on
Thanks!
Wow, just seeing this!! 🤦🏾♂️ Appreciate you!
I get it, thanks!
Pls would like you to do a part 2 of this video tutorial on modes there’s a lot I need to learn and understand thanx
Ditto! 😊
pls can you do more examples to make it really sink in as every mode.........call it part 2......thanks l have spent almost 3yrs trying to make sense about the mode
Wow thanks for the knowledge shared 🎹👌 best Teacher now I found you 🕺 I already SUBSCRIBED
Appreciate it man, thanks for watching!
Sean Wilson Piano thanks Again, I have a small request WILL YOU TEACH US PLAYING A SONG IN STAGES,from beginner level to Advanced/alternatives of chords you can use on a melody sang. Thanks I hope you will attend to this 🙂🎹
I’ve done that already... search “give thanks” on my channel
Sean, can you do a video on grace notes and grace note placement
That would be more of a "feel" video, but i can check
Great video and acronym bro! Lol
thanks man!!!
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire!
Yooooooooo. You so clever 😁
Thanks so much for the support!!
Great...modes as dad jokes 🤣 😂 😆
just be glad I don't Pack Lemon Muffins At Lunch, cough
Can I steal your ears sean? They are too good 😆
Welldone sir
From the Cmin7b 5 I can see a F#major6b5 chord which is one of my best chords thanks a lot that means I can also u this same mode when I am on any major6b5 chord
Nice man!!
Presenting the modes in the context of a chord progression is helpful- "alone together" or "Yesterdays" both have a tonic, 2 to 5 chord progression in a minor key. The locrian mode is audible- it is unavoidable to the listener or player. If playing these in A minor, the aolian mode also clearly heard in the 1st chord. The dominant, then needs a few required notes (e7th )
💪🏼
Appreciate the support!!
🔥 sub
Oh man Sean !! Very informative and Thanks. Curious on one thing. Do you change modes, or can you change modes in a song once you’ve started using a mode in that song? Does that make sense ? LOL!! I’m sure I’ll understand it more as I start using modes. I mean, I’ve been playing now for 60 years, it’s time to teach this old dog ... ya know 😃
Yes not only can you change modes multiple times In a song. It’s based on what I play in left hand
Sound far better. Massive difference
This video is especially for me lol🤣🤣
It didn’t get too exhausting with all the details?
@@SeanWilsonPiano No, it’s not exhausting at all. I understand modes now!
