      @empiremanagement1015 Před 5 měsíci

      Hi I’m really horrible at this because I try to really analyse and build off of that but at 7:00 you show a major scale but the A is missing in the scale but you have B there in place of it ? Typo ? Because it’s things like that that really make it a struggle to truly embrace the knowledge . Also I wish you didn’t deviate from the formula of playing the scales slowly and with individual notes like you did in the beginning. Your English is superb but at times I could not hear clearly and yet again got stuck in a whirlpool of confusion . Hope you can clarify is that was a typo Ty

      Agreed,between this video and also Zombie guitar "Brian Kelly" has a very simplified explanation as well, For "my" brain, Brian explains things a little slower but between the 2 guys, you can learn everything you need to know about the fretboard and its applications.

    dude, you're a wizard. before watching this video i only knew how to play the d minor scale, but after watching it, i magically was able to jam in G dorian, A phrygian, Bb lydian, C mixolydian and A locrian.

  • @delinquense
    @delinquense Před 2 lety +5

    One of the best things about this explanation is the fact that no new patterns were introduced. So, if you know your patterns well, you can modify which pattern you play where depending on the particular mode you are in. That's HUGE!

  • @tr762
    @tr762 Před 2 lety +2

    1. Conocer el número de grado de cada modo.
    2. Saber que del 3er. al 4to. grado y del 7mo. a la siguiente octava de la escala mayor hay un semitono.
    3. Asignarle a la nota a utilizar el número de grado del modo deseado y avanzar progresivamente hasta la siguiente octava tomando en cuenta los semitonos del punto 2.
    No se necesitan diagramas solo practicarlo hasta automatizarlo.
    Por supuesto que es la mejor lección sobre el tema! Excelente material!
