Chain modes for SUPER moody solos - You never used modes like this!

- For modal chains you will use modes of the major scale like you never did before! Modal chaining makes use of the common tone modulation. In stead of using a random note, we’ll use the characteristic note of the mode for a real special sound.
Like this we’ll chain a couple of the same modes but with a different tonic. For instance, C Lydian - B Lydian - A Lydian - Eb Lydian. Anything goes. We can do this with all the modes of the major scale like the Dorian mode, the Phrygian mode, the Lydian mode, the Mixolydian mode, and the Aeolian mode.
I’ll explain the concept and something about common note modulation. I give you two examples in the Lydian and Dorian mode. The last one sounds a tiny bit like Soil Festivities by Vangelis.
If you’re note familiar with modes or the characteristic note of a mode (the modal trigger note) the I’ll suggest you watch this video:

I have heard this sound many times without understanding the theory behind it. Now I see how simple, musical and logical it is. Thank you my teacher. You are a blessing to us that subscribe.
For the Love of God... go on producing such enlightening videos.
I still don't understand how you don't have more subscribers.
This guy should be up there with the music CZcams legends like Rick Beato and Rhett Shull.
It will surely change over time. Let the YT algorithm figure it out as well 😂
One of the best guitar channels in CZcams… can wait to see 1M subscribers!!
Just subscribed!
Def the best music theory for guitar channel that I've seen.
Excellent. Well illustrated and explained. Thanks.
ik kijk altijd uit naar een nieuwe video, jouw uitleg is ongeëvenaard
Dank je!
Such a simple concept. Yet it never dawned on me. Thanks.
Almost sounds like something Vai would do.
This video is definitely one of my favorites of yours. I will try this method this weekend.
As always, fantastic content and very inspirational!
You have, by far, made the most informative and clear videos with absolutely helpful examples. You understand it's not just explaining a concept, it's also how can this concept be used. And that is equally as important as knowing a concept.
Thanks!
gem of a lesson... thank you so much
Wow! This gives me some great material to practice for several days. Gonna learn some intervals.😊
This is why I love this channel. Just great ideas with great examples on how to implement them.
Really appreciate for this deep and meaningful tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
What an amazing idea!
THANK YOU FOR THIS LESSON
Really interesting and beautiful!
Cool idea! I'm excited to try this
Wow interesting concept
Thank you so much sir ❤️❤❤❤
Very helpful many thanks for the upload. I don't play guitar I play saxophone and this is great.
Thx a lot🤘👏 this is a gem
Excellent video.
oro puro !!! muchas gracias ! espectacular canal
Gracias!
Awesome idea, thanks! I’m keen to test out some variations on this. Great way to get a song moving in a different direction or breakout of a pattern, I think.
Thank you Tim!!
Thank you
I love this and also The Fast Show
Suits you Sir!😁
very good.
Great examples! However I still dont get how do we decide on the last note of the phrase? Like in lydian we end the phrase on major7 but in dorian we end on a root? How do I choose the last note of the other modes?
It's not important what the function of the end note is in the active key or mode. Just make sure the end note is the characteristic note of the mode in the next bar.
So taking that concept further, could you end on any chord tone and then rethink the note in the context of the characteristic note of any mode? So going from Dorian to Mixolydian to Lydian and then Aeolian for example. Or it is better just keep it at one mode?
Nice lesson...I read years ago a guitar magazine where Satriani talked about "pitch axis theory", in which the common note is the root instead of the "colour" note of the mode
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy this came up in my recommended feed! It's not often that something makes me so inspired like back when I was first learning guitar, but this did the trick! Can't wait to start using this more in my music! Thank you!
Two things at this time at this age are fantastic for me : CZcams and You
Thank you !
Yo Dutchy lol. Thanks!
Amazing video! Thank you!
How do you figure out trigger notes for other scales like for example Phrygian Dominant and Hungarian minor?
Always compare the scale to a either a minor or major scale depending on the quality of the scale itself. Sometimes a scale has more than one characteristic note. The double harmonic minor (Hungarian minor) for instance is obvious a minor scale. The major 7th is a characteristic note, but not unique. Think of the harmonic minor scale and melodic minor scale for instance. Both are minor scales and have a major 7th. But the combination of the augmented 4th and major 7th is unique. So, both notes are characteristic for this scale and especially the combination.
Not sure how much i followed, but is this a more advanced form of pitch axis theory ?
Yes, it is connected with no doubt, but pitch axis means that you evolve modes around one and the same note. This is different, because you'll use target notes for the modes that are all different. In pitch axis the modes change and the pivot note stays the same, while in modal chaining the mode stays the same and the pivot notes change...
Brilliant presentation and idea. The Lydian chain certainly did evoke Steve Vai. I am a seasoned guitarist but had never heard of this technique before. I will definitely use it in my compositions. Thank you
❤🎉
Lydian modal chain definitely screams "Steve vai" !
Yes, I love that sound :)
Lydian modal chain was gorgeous sounding.
The trick then is play the Lydian "scale" for each named chord getting your tones in so you can be on the next chords' root tone, which is shared with the Lydian scale of the previous chord.
You should end your line on the characteristic note of the mode of the next chord...
@@QJamTracks Thank you!
Awesome video as usual. A breakthrough in my understanding of "modes" and a bit over my head at the moment.
However being a long term fan of Joe Satriani I now understand where all of his music comes from.
A further study in modal interchange using Melodic and harmonic minor scales would be greatly appreciated as well.
You gave me the missing puzzle piece i was looking for
Lydian, my favourite of all the (major) modes.
Very inspirational !
Now it would have been nice to see an example of a chain between different modes. For example, to say whatever, from Dorian to Phrygian.
How did you learn all this, did you have to get the infinity stones or aomething cause I swear your knowledge is endless.
This is not something you would learn on a music academy, but maybe more by experimenting and of course listen to others and try to get the same effect :)
crystal clear
Really novel (to me) and interesting
Great way to change to mood of a song using Music Theory math.
oGreat way to change to mood of a song using Music Theory math. Like your series in Negative Harmony
Sounds like some Pat Metheny shit.
