Very informative and easy to comprehend! Thank you!
Wow. Love the idea of using Bm pentatonic over A Dorian. Fantastic little modal hack.
Banging bro, thanks for your time and knowledge!
i can't stop being amaze by the easy way you teached
Thank you Adonis. Keep on playing!
Perhaps one of the best videos to understand modal playing.
Thanks Craig!
Awesome lesson!
Wow awesome 👌
Excellent done
Thank you! :)
It helped me a lot ,thank you for your useful lesson..
Thanks! Nice to see that the video worked for you :)
This is definetly the best way to get the sounds of modes. Once again Qjam is pure gold!!!
Thank you Matheus! Real motivator 👍
Great Lesson
Thanks Hilmar!
Wish I had this presentation and demo of application years ago. Got out of the blocks wrong on modes - along with most of the populace I suppose....Thank you!
You're very welcome Doug. I'm glad it's useful for you!
InstaBlaster...
Great ..keep making this kinda videos
this was the only video I needed this whole time, so simple, straight to the point, thanks!
Keep makeing that kind of videos. It really helps to get the sound! Best regards!
Glad to hear that it's useful for you👍
Thank u - leant the borrowing scale today - so obvious but never occurred to me -
There's a first time for everything Nadeem
Awesome, nice video !
Thank you Gabriel!
Great concept on your lesson today, will use it, just want to say that I am blind, visually impaired, and I do like the way you teach, always try to remember that you might have people that have low vision, so you want maybe to let us know Certain fingering on certain skills, but in this case, I know all the inner Pentatonix, major Pentatonix, and all those so it’s fairly easy for me to understand. Thank you.
By the way, I just subscribed. Thank you.
You’re amazing!
That hexatonic also fits the second position of the Melodic minor.
best explanation ever
Very short but informative video, just the video I need. Please cover other modes in pentatonic concept, thank you!
You're welcome! I will do some tuts about other modes and pentatonioc concepts.
@@QJamTracks Nice! Thanks!
Fact: the video itself is a good piece of music
QJam might be the best free service in the world.
Thanks!! Nice to hear that :)
Very interesting 👍
Thanks Jordan!
Interesting!
Thanks!
Great video! Myxolidian or lydian next?
Thanks Yoni! I will do all the modes. I just need the make time for it :)
Well explained. Quite advanced music theory for a lot of beginner or intermediate guitarists. Shame no backing track to try it out over.
Hi KC. Try this: czcams.com/video/BdNqEIWgXRg/video.html
Thank You!
wish i'd found this a few years ago.
So this should work for phrygian as well, if I add a b2 to the pentatonic, right?
I just thought of this today and then thought to see if anyone had noticed as well. Then found your video. So could you properly call this new scale the Dorian pentatonic if you remove one of the other notes from the minor pentatonic?
It's true that this concept is a six note scale, which makes it impossible to call this a pentatonic scale. Therefor I call it a concept instead of a scale. But you're right I guess. If you would omit one note from the pentatonic scale and add a raised 6th, it would be a proper pentatonic scale. Is that what you mean?
I am excited to be in the comments section
is this concept applicable only to dorian mode or there are similar "tricks" for playing pentatonic on different modes? Amazing video!
Yes, it can be applied to other modes too. Example: The scale for the A Dorian pentatonic concept (Am pent. + major 6th F#) can also be played over C Lydian. Or: if you lower the fifth in a minor pentatonic scale it could sound Locrian. Or: If you add the minor 2nd to the minor pentatonic scale it sounds Phrygian.
Really great, succinct lesson- thank you very much! Really useful information for the developing guitar soloist
great explanation! got a sub from me! have a great day :)
Thanks Chris and welcome to the club :)
I love your work.
But this seems a lot of explanation for a simple concept that a Dorian mode plus the typical minor pentatonic scale can be used in the right context. Overlayed.
There are two simple concepts here:
minor pentatonic as the 6th degree minor (aeolian) of the root. C maj + A min pent.
Or the same minor pentatonic as the the 2nd degree minor (Dorian) of the root. G maj + Am min pent.
But as I aid I do love you work. Very insightful and educational.
might be simple for you man
not easy for everyone
If the pentatonic is for keeping the notes with at least a whole step to each note, then adding the F# would make me quit the G automatically. That's how I thought. And it matched with the 2nd degree thing that is in the video. Cool.
Yes, that would be the Dorian pentatonic. Does anyone here know of any songs that actually use it?
Love your lessons unllike famous channels fille with bs
So play the Bm pentatonic instead of Am pentatonic?
Don't forget Dorian pentatonic.
1 b3 4 5 6
Minor pentatonic is
1 b3 4 5 b7
So just change b7 to 6
IT'S a mode of the dominant pentatonic. (The other pentatonic NO one uses aka
Dom 9 )
1 2 3 5 b7
Hi. Correct me if im wrong. So if a particular song is written on a A Dorian its key is Em?
Not quite. The dorian mode is the 2nd mode of a major scale. So G major is the scale of which A dorian is extracted. However, as you probably know, G major and E minor share the same notes.
@@QJamTracks thanks. I was just wondering on how to use a dorian mode on a particular chord progression.
what if the note is already sharp? should I sharp it again ? example: F# already there should I turn it to G ?
Hi. If the note you have to raise is already a sharpened note than it becomes a so called double sharpened note. F# becomes F##. Theoretically you should not call this note a G, but in fact you're playing the note G (enharmonically the same note).
@@QJamTracks yeah I know its enharmonic I was just confused thanks man. I was just sort a new to this music theory thing..
wouldnt that be a dorian hexatonic scale since its 6 notes
Thanks for lesson. Just want to mention that you can't JUST make a dorian sounding guitar solo using the notes from the 2nd scale degree pentatonic. Bmin pentatonic is missing the C and the G, both of which are essential for the giving the A dorian mode its characteristic minor sound. I'm not criticising the video, just adding my advice
At that point just add II as well
A Dorian is the second mode of the G major scale, not B minor
Nowhere in the video is said that A Dorian is the second mode of B minor. Bm has two sharps, far away from the A Dorian mode which has only one sharp and is indeed the second mode of G major. What I tried to make clear is that you can borrow the minor pentatonic scale of the second degree to play over the Dorian mode, which is a common thing to do. Bm pentatonic over A Dorian. In this scale you got the root 'A', the fifth 'E', and the raised sixth 'F#'. There's no 'C#'. So this scale will do the job and creates diversity.
@@QJamTracks Gotcha. But what about A Durian?
Very informative,but this ain’t Joe 😑
This is technically a hexatonic scale
You are absolutely right. That's why I don't call it a pentatonic scale, but a concept build on the minor pentatonic scale.
E minor SHAEAVEN
:) Must be my Dutch mixing with English
Shseven
Background music is super annoying
