- Enough with the jibber jabber!!!! The Stich man is back to demonstrate once and for all the difference between the modes. The sacred modes are not a mere exercise in academia! You have to hear and feel them as you would any personal experience that resides within your heart! Make sure to tell us how you feel and then go show Stich some love on his channel:

A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his CZcams channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket. - Hudba
Sean is like the Deadpool of YT Guitar Teachers.
I'll take it.
Ionian Mode == Raga Bilawal
Dorian mode == Raga Kafi
Phrygian mode == Raga Bhairavi
Lydian mode == Raga Yaman
Mixo-lydian mode == Raga Khamaj
Aeolian mode == Raga Asawari
Locrian mode == Raga Todi
Western modes and their Indian counterpart :).
Well done. Thank you!
Marley mode == Raga Muffin
Man thanks so much for sharing that!
You are welcome. My cool uncle taught me this, earlier this year when I was in India :)
Those are called "thaats" on the basis of thaats there are different ragas.
Thaat bilawal
Thaat bheiravi
Thaat todi...
Two of my faves in one video! Love it! Thank you both!!
Best video i have 'heard' on modes. So many videos talk about all the modes in the key of C because it's easy to show it that way. Modes are meant to be heard and felt! Well done!
What a descriptive & informative lesson you two!!! Thank you both 👍🏾👍🏼🎶🤝🏼
Thanks for watching David!
I only heard about the modes couple of days ago. So I checked your series on them. Great explains tons I must say because I'm not confused at all. This video makes it all the better. 👌
Thank you for this series ! Always had hard time understanding Modes until came to this. The Bus metaphor is just awesome to remember the mood. Cheers from India ! :-)
This video was super helpful! And wonderfully humorous! You guys never disappoint.
Thanks Melissa!
I love your videos. Informative , and humorous at the same time. Keep up the good work. You've helped my playing a lot. Thanks.
So cool to hear Mark! I'll keep em coming!
Dude u guys are totally my friends from high school, I semi reminisce and full on learn when I watch ur vids!!
And I’m like a very beginner here just starting to get some connective tissue as far as my chord changing fluidity. Any helpful tips tricks and or drills ??? Gratzie kind sir!!
Love the video! Very informative and helped me to better understand the modes and what they are used for. Thank you for this video! Also, Bus Court should totally be the next TV show! Lol
BUS COURT IS IN SESSION!
You guys are fun! And one of the best presentations on modes I’ve seen!
Thanks so much!
3:49 I love that when Sean describes a "a little bit of darkness" Ian immediately plays a "darker" note (flatted from where it was supposed to be). That's modal music in action really!
Mind control at its finest.
I've only ever gotten good, useful information from this guy. Great videos
Thanks so much David!
This is educational AND HYSTERICAL!
Yep. It's about hearing the modes. I did a different video in the same vein ... with words like "sad", "happy", "tough" ... but without the bus! Love it!!
My man Mark! Get on the bus!
Wow... crazy... The Stich method guy and Sean... two of my favorite guitar teachers in one vid. Cool.
Finally freaking got it! Thanks!!!
That was the best demo/interpretation of modes I've ever seen. Can't wait for the next episode of "Bus Court."
Thanks so much!
Love it! Thanks guys
Thanks so much for watching!
Great lesson on modes! The bus metaphors had me in stitches. 😂
"Stitches" hahaha ha
You can tell how much planning went into this by that thumbnail graphic
Stepping it up a notch
I haven't had this much fun watching a video I don't think maybe even ever.. OMGosh.. too many hardy belly laughs.. I loved this bus ride most of the way but right there near the end? I'm think'n maybe I shoulda stayed home today.. lol.. you gize are awesome together.. too much fun.. love this video and it gives purpose to the sounds of a mode.. or maybe; a mood, yes?
This is very Tappet Brothers - see NPR show “Car Talk”. You guys are the “Click” and “Clack” of guitar world videos. Serious knowledge and skill with a side of fun. Well done.
Thanks so much!
GuiTar Talk with Pik and Yak 😁
This is actually the most important videos on Modes.
I come back to this video all the time. Tbh I still don't 100% understand the modes, but the bus analogy always puts me in a good mood :)
Wait! This is the best modes video ever made!
Greatest explanation of the minor scale (aeolian) ever. EVER.
I'm excited to be invited to the premier of this epic film. I just hope interviewers go easy on you guys while walking down the red carpet.
They had their kidgloves on.
the last one cracked me up so hard XD ..seriously the best video ever on modes, n i've not even seen all :P
Thanks so much!
Favorite video 🤣 👍 I’ve been on the stinky cheese bus ride, and brown acid buss court.
Bus court!!!
I heard an Allman Brothers sound with that Mixolydian jam that you were playing.
This is excellent! Laughing my a$$ off and learning at the same time!
You guys make guitar playing sound easy and fun 👍
Thanks so much!
Didn't realized modes made musicians so giddy and giggly. They're very happy, for sure.
❤❤ the best way to explain modes😂...great video
Thanks so much!
I still have no idea what modes are but the way you two played off of one another was well worth watching the video................. :)
Thanks Steve!
So funny guys. Love your work
funny. And informative.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant :)
This is the best explanation of modes I am ever likely to encounter. I now feel like an expert!
Not to be a downer, but It was more of a demo than an explanation.
@@HigherPlanes Man, you just ruined my night dude! LOL
@@rthib1960 If it makes you feel any better, I'm still figuring out modes.
For me the mixolydian is like being on a bus happy because you have finally gotten angry enough to leave a bad situation. The phrygian is like you're on a bus and realizing you're on the wrong one and you're lost and don't know what you're going to do.
Everyone has their own bus ride to take.
Good comedic timing. 😂 reminds me of that episode of familly where Stewie plays guitar and explains how the chords make him feel.
Thanks so much!
BIG thumbs up !
Bus ride with Lydian is a trip to the mountains.
Bus ride with Mixo is a trip to Greece seaside
Phrygian - moving to Greece countryside at dusk...
Dorian - Roman legion appears out of nowhere
Locrian - taken into slavery and resettled in Spain
damn locrian was like the bus crashed and fell into a volcano and when i died in the lava i went to hell and continued burning
For me, as soon as Phrygian kicks in, the bus is suddenly Peruvian. I'm on my way to Cusco and that shit is breaking down for sure.
Uncle metaphor cracked me up!
:)
Finally I can see!
What guitars are both of you playing. Great demonstration of the modal differences. Excellent
Thanks! Ian's got the Taylor GA3. I've got the Martin GPCPA4
Could you do the same exercise only stay with the g maj scale and resolve or stay on all the chords in the scale. In other words change the chord not the scale. Same difference right?
Cant wait :)
Hope you enjoyed!
I imagine an animated video (a companion video to this) viualizing an actual bus ride with changing moods (and modes). Where are your animation chops, Sean?! :-) Great Video!! Thanks
The animation chops are lying dormant until called upon...
Sean Daniel let’s summon the devils animation chops 😈
You BUSted it guys.
smokin' that is legal now. that looked like fun and made it alittle easier..
A bus came by and I got on; that's where it all began...
Cowboy Neil was at the wheel of the bus to never never land...
If you weren't baked when you made this, you probably should've been.
That was great.
100% clean, just check my Bus Court drug test.
My understanding of modes in this key of G example: I would play Ionian from the G on the 3rd fret of the low E string and dorian from the A at the 5th fret of the low E string and so on. In the video he is staying at the same area of the neck. Is he basically just using the G as the root note for Ionian and the A in the same area on the neck for the dorian and so forth?
Randy kahn Nope! In this video they’re sticking to the same root note and building the mode from it. This is essentially changing keys, as each mode would be derived from a different Major scale. What your talking about would be modes derived from the same key. Also very important to understand!
Dorian is best described as bittersweet IMHO.
Also one question - why were the first three modes you showed the "major" modes and the others minor modes? What makes them minor/major and what would happen if I play a "major" mode over a minor chord and vice versa?
Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian are called "major" because they have the major 3rd interval in them. Dorian, Phrygian, and Aeolian are called "minor" because they begin with a minor 3rd interval. Locrian also begins with a minor 3rd, but has a b5 also, so it is sometimes called "diminished". As to what would happen if you played a major mode over a minor chord? Well, try it! And have fun with it.
Great answer!
Thanks!
Pretty good bus ride except for the swole boyfriend waiting at the next stop...better sit near the back at the emergency door😎thanks for the invite!
Always a good time on the bus.
No Pressure! 🙂
Check your instagram messages!! :)
Hopefully we didn't disappoint.
Never!😄
What a trio you guys would make!
Nice video guys!😎
Thanks for watching.
Learn Every Mode In Less Than 8 Minutes Without Memorizing or Practicing.
It's just so easy.
Great video guys. Also, I'd totally watch Bus Court. You shoul get a hold of ABC or something
I'm trying :)
I recently heard the Simple Minds song, "Don't You Forget About Me" which has this very haunting 1985-esque sound. It's an odd "new-wave-ish" sound that's no longer used. What is that? Is it a mode thing? Or something else?
I'm gonna take a flyer on that. It's in the key of A but E is home so I'm guessing it's E Mixolydian.
That's actually a good question. It's definitely a style of mixing/reverb that dates the song, but you think with the retro-fad happening, more people would try it.
Phrygian = boldness, exuberance, passion, courage, leadership, but in excess pride, rashness, irascibility, violent anger.
Lydian = good cheer, optimism, subimity, friendliness, laughter, love and song.
Dorian = sleepiness, lethargy, laziness, slowness, mental dullness, forgetfulness, calmness, internal equanimity, well being.
Mixolydian = solidity, firmness, steadfastness, rhythm, but with a certain indolent tenaciity.
G lydian with a sharp 4th makes it the 4th degree of D ionian right?
Yup! You got it!
I’m here because of your video from today
thanks for that I really enjoyed the bus ride ... guess you threw the melodic & harmonic minor's under the bus
Hey oh!
This is arguably the most important modes video ever made. Hey, I realized only recently that Stich and I have the exact same playing position! Why did *you* choose that position Ian? For me it's simply that I can't rotate my wrist far enough to play horizontally, but I found the Classical position a little awkward, so I hybridized the two.
I'll ask him ;)
Guess it's a secret. But it looks like there wasn't enough space to hold the guitar normally, he wanted to sit close to Sean
Another way to hear the modes, and easier way I believe because you don't have to change the scale.
Use the G Major diatonic scale. Play a G major chord with it, you have major. Play a a minor chord, you have dorion, play a b minor chord with it, you have Phrydgion.....etc
Right on!
What about moving positions?
Lol the whole time I was imagining your story
A bus ride for the ages.
@@seandaniel23 lol and my ex
I'm a beginner, didn't know about Modes until today. But your video is so cool. Instead of /Modes/ they should be called /Moods/ lol
One thing I have noticed in all your mode videos you have done is that you don't ever talk about while it is a G chord, it might actually originate in a different scale (which I think would be helpful for a lot of people trying to wrap their heads around initially)... For example (and I totally get that you know all these things) G lydian you mention has a sharp 4... But it would be helpful perhaps to also mention that it stems from the D scale... Or that G mixolydian stems from the C scale, etc - and that the actual scales aren't part of the actual G scale any more... It might help them start to put all the pieces of the puzzle together...
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Is there a bar where you would jam these modes?
For sure!
I like to play in the Lee Major Bionitonic. :)
I endorse this comment.
Bump. Because funny and good - just a bus thing, guys.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
So that's your modus operandi...idiotic fantasies. I loved them all!
Always a good time!
What do you mean by diminished runs.is it just a dim arpeggio run,type thing
Yeah you can do a diminished arpeggio over an otherwise minor or major chord progression (like a B diminished run over an A minor progression)
Dminished simply means LESS...There term is use on the 4th and 5th note
of the mode ( for quick reference)
There's 9 parallel diatonic scales with 7 modes each
The MAJOR scale only has 1-ea HALF diminished.....( locrian)
It's HALF becuase from the b5 to b7 = WW = maj3 interval
It's not fully symtrical
The other scales
Harmonic min has 4-ea FULL DIMINISHED
The....II. IV. Vi. VII
You can alter these chords to diminished...if you want.
They're SYMMETRICAL.....
Picture a DIAMOND shape..with 4 equal sides.
It's just ALL b3 (WH) intervals
A Harmonic minor
B, D, F, G#
B dim..... Locrian with Maj6 .. 1, b3, b5, 6
D dor #4 dorian #4 1, b3, #4, 6
F lydian #2 1, #2, #4, 6
G# Mix#1 ( converted to Locrian loc b4, bb7 ) 1, b3, b5, bb7
NOTICE the b4 or diminished 4th.
It has the same pitch as Maj3...but there's also a b3 in the mode
You can also play it as AGMENTED....1, b4, b6
ALL WW or Maj3 interval.....G#, C, E
Augmented modes are also SYMMETRICAL..
Picture a 3 sided TRIANGLE...with 3 equal sides.
The C HARMONIC MAJOR also has 4-ea possible FULL diminished.
II, IV, vi, VII
Notice it's b6 or Ab. instead of G#
D, F, Ab, B
D dor b5.........1, b3, b5, 6
F lydiab b3 1 b3, #4, 6
Ab lydian aug #2 .... 1 ,#2, #4, 6
B loc bb7 1, b3, b5, bb7
The Hungarian MAJOR also has possible FULL diminished
FROM the I, #II, #IV, VI..or 1, #2, #4, 6
Notice the Augmented 4 tor #4
The terms just helps you....Augmented simply means ADD , more or sharp
You can also augment the 3rd.....becuase the 4th had be augmented
example...
1.........2........3..4..........5...........6...........7..8
1.............#2....#3 #4.........#5 6............7 8
Its just one of the modes from those parallel scales
The Major scale INTERVAL is the REFERENCE.
You just have to learn them...If you dont know what the INTERVALS are
HOW in the hell are you going to PLAY THEM,,to hear what they sound like?
YOu can use the diminished chord to help you shift keys or blend other scales.
Just look for modes with possible diminished....then simply modulate/substitute.
From the TONIC as dim....Lydian b3....Harmonic min b5 , Melodic min b5..
example....lets say you were in the key of D minor...
you can shift to C minor/ E bMAJOR....simply by slide DOWN 2 frets.
The D will be a locrian..ish
Or it can also be the II of C melodic minor
D dorian b2....which as a possible Min7 chord
or If you where in G MAJOR/E min...you can modulate to the key of F minon
simply be sliding down 2 frets...
or you can play the C as a minor chord...to SOUND different
or C dim....D# dim into E minor ( E Harmonic minor or G Harmonic MAJOR)
or you can even BLEND it...sort of chromatically
FRom E minor ...
A min..Bmin...C Maj ..C#dim D Maj ..D # dim....into E min
The C# dim is from the E melodic minor scale.
The VI and VII are HALF possible diminished chords.
Aeo b5
Loc b4
Ion b3 ( melodic min)
dor b2
phy b1 ...converrted to Lydian augmented or...Ion #4, #5
lyd b7
mix b6
You are insane.
Is the snark still missing? If it is, tell the truth, how many times did you check under those couch cushions?
I found it!
Is it weird that I’m getting Mario vibes from this especially the desert levels
I'm so into Mario.
Bus Court Boys featuring Los Hefe Riffes
Love it!
Wow..i hope i am not late
:)
You know I can create fill licks, i understand all the tips you have ever given about playing lead, but damned if i can play true lead. Solo guitar yes , solos no. I find myself falling in to rhythm mode even when trying to play lead .
So are modes are scales?
And the wheels on the bus go round and roun... Uh oh, LOCRIAN....!!!!
Aloha dudes and big mahaloz! :) 🤙
My guy!
lol, that was cool
Locrian--And the boyfriend's posse showed up.
Hey man, I've been watching Netflix and Hulu for "Bus Court". Whassup?
I wish I knew!
Minor 🚌 sounded like it was headed to Mexico 💃🌮🚎
Get on the bus!
Yes. I am planning to come to the December seminar. Driving down. Not taking the bus.
Accodently took some brown acid? I accidentally put that piece of litmus in my mouth. I thought I was just gonna chew some paper..... next thing k know I'm in the red cross tent at Woodstock. Every hallucinogen I have ever taken has been on accident. . Accidently chewed up that payote at the dead show, accidently ate some fungus a little later lol. Oh at the 1st groove attack rave I I accidently ingested really really good (real molly) and apparently i was fed pizza with fungus and accidently added some psylosobin in the mix. And who can forget as a kid accidently eating gels constantly lmao. So i feel Ian on the accidently tsking the brown at Woodstock hahahahaha
Who cam forget accidently smoking or sublingual dosing of Salvia extract. Oh it's been a while since I I accidently had some Salvia extract. I'm gonna have to take a look around so i can make a mistake lmao
Wish I had been in the room! Great fun...
Please do juicy bus stories
Coming soon.
How about a video on modes in movie scenes 😂😂😂😂😂
That's an interesting idea!
Explain the modes so we all get it in one take ! ...
Mission accomplished.
Mixo is Jerry! Yes?
🐒 had not even intended to watch this as 💨thought modes completely understood 🤗 however 😳eg in G, in focus of song is second degree, is this still A Dorian if A is not flattened ...or something else 🤷♂️🙏🏽😎
Thanks for watching!
Cool video. I'm in a better mode now!
Living your best mode.
