Thanks for watching this video. How do you use modes for improvising? Post in the comments. Also, if you have a question, post below.
Even when using the pentatonics, the major problem with practicing is they always start on the root note. That creates a hell of a ingrained habit. Practice should be alternated with pickup notes to assimilate practical applications. So in a sense starting on different notes of the Pentatonic is still essentially modes.
Straight to the point and super simple. Perfect!!! Thanks for sharing 🔥✊🏿☮️
Thanks...that's what I try to do. :)
This so sweet am growing on guitar each time I learn from you man
Boi this right here so nice, I tried it and had my wife looking at me like 🥶 👀!! Appreciate u bro!
Minor and Major Pentatonics are great. But modes like Dorian and Mixolydian have so much color. Most people think modes are harder than they actually are. Guitar teachers over the years have IMO taught them wrong and overcomplicated them.
I think he means just to get started improvising melody over chord progressions . But I agree with you I think they’re taught to be overcomplicated and then can be overwhelming . At least in my experience. Still trying to understand it honestly . But I do find it interesting the order in which some learn , some learn all positions of pentatonic minor/major then move on to all of the modes and positions of major and vise versa
Also this slightly might be an excuse on my end haha but some of the great melodic lines singers use are mapped out with pentatonics and I think that’s pretty useful for soul . But I also like how the pentatonics are a map in general for other notes of Ionian or aeolian so I think that can help you understand what scale degree you can target . (Sorry if I sound dumb , correct me if I’m wrong .. I’m still learning)
@@vividsilence7067If your still trying to understand and modes then forget everything you’ve been told and try this:
Learn the diatonic scale (the Major scale) and it’s seven diatonic arpeggios, that are built off each note within the scale. This will teach you how to play all the modes as a byproduct.
e.g: (Within the Key of C) If you play the C Major scale and target the arpeggio notes built off the second note in the scale, you get the D Dorian mode.
Target the 3rd note in the key and you get the E Phrygian mode. So by targeting one of the seven arpeggios within the diatonic scale actually gives you one of the seven modes in the key.
So earning the diatonic scale and it’s seven arpeggios will as the saying goes “kill two birds with one stone.” It will give you the ability to target the best notes over all seven chords within the key AND play all the modes. Give it a try and you’ll see. Play a C Major scale shape and target one of the arpeggios within that shape, using the other notes (that are not in the arpeggio) as passing tones, by always starting and ending your phrases on the chords tones (the arpeggio notes.)
This is how to learn the modes fast.
It seems like Dorian and mixolydian is common in soul like funk blues and jazz 🎺 gospel especially but the penitonic minor and major is the common voicing love them but the modes help you creat something that never been played and odd I add modes all the time
@@otisconner548 thanks that’s pretty useful and glad you said that I was just at a jam session the other night and this guy said let’s play this standard called “so what” and showed me Dorian and man I thought it sounded so soulful . And mixolydian I hear it’s good to use over the 5 or as a leading tone for a resolution. Again thanks for the info … whats some other ways you think of Dorian and mixolydian ?
Thank you for the class!
I love how I can't watch from across the room, how I have to stand by, hovering over the skip button to watch your excellent video. This is because CZcams plays ads every few minutes making it necessary to take of the guitar and walk over to the computer to press skip.
Fantastic as always
Cool stuff man! Thanks.
Anytime!
Thank you sir
Thank you, brother. I love this.
Glad you find it helpful!
I get it...on point Bro BRO
Powerful lesson Champ!
Thanks!
Definitely working on this tonight!
Let me know how it goes!
I appreciate you 🙏 my phrases, valcabuary has increased alot, just by watching your videos
That’s what I love to hear. Thanks for letting me know!
That guitar tho 😍😍
Simple and straightforward
Thanks!
Hi Kerry! Excellent approach! I do add the 6th and 9th to the minor pentatonic to give the Dorian Mode sound. I call them the "Cool Notes"
Hi Ken! Thanks for sharing! Love it!
I didnt realize i wanted to be an r&b Guitarist until i started watching you i now have a lane i didnt really know existed
That’s what it’s all about! Keep me posted on how it goes!
@@Kerry2smooth I definitely will!!!
I'm listening. learning also studying the piccolo bass. God Bless
Thanks!
Also studying and harmonizing with the piano
Can you do the same in a major cord.
Have you ever tried FACGCE tuning, 2 Smoov?
I'm Bassist studying Jazz Guitar. thank you.
You’re welcome!
The late and great Pebber Brown has a lesson on modes...search his name and modes..your welcome 😮❤
Tnx
You’re welcome!
Nice line but how does it mean we don't need to know modes which after all are just all the patterns up the neck?
True, but that can be overwhelming. Hope that answers your question.
What's the best afortable guitar, one can upgrade to get the best gospal or rnb sound?
I like the PRS 22SE model
Hii kerry I'm struggling how solo kan you please help..if you can put it in the key of G it would really help
I suggest you check out more of my content on the channel on soloing. If you still need help, check out Kerry’s Kamp. www.kerryskamp.com/
We are not teaching kids to be creative and use their imaginations. Charlie Parker did not think modal or keys. To him, the chromatic scale was all there is and show me a better improviser who DOESN’T USE PATTERNS when they are out of ideas.
Improve confuses me so bad
