Please use headphones or good speakers for this. It won't "work" if you're listening on your phone (you need bass!)
This video demonstrates all 7 relative modes of the major scale, and how simply changing the tonal center can create modal harmony. Combine this perspective with this video • Demonstrating All 7 Mo... and you'll have two different but effective ways to think about modes.

I HIGHLY recommend you use headphones or good speakers for this video. You NEED to hear the bass, and if you're listening on a mobile device this probably won't "work"
Yeah, in my phone everything sounds the same!
Really good.
Thanx.
Great video and concept, but your Bass and Chords are a little too loud and tend to drown out the 'melody' line rather than underpin it, which is a pity.
98% accurate
getting high does the trick :D
Here I am, casually learning about music theory then I am suddenly thrust into a Final Fantasy fight sequence.
Bahaha!! My thoughts went straight to Chrono Trigger
I was gonna say "that sounds like Hallowed Bastion from KH!"
@@arosonomy omg I thought the same ahahah
I went right to Secret of Mana. I guess we just need a key specific randomizer and some understanding of modes to be 16bit composers ?? : ) Great vid as usual
This is the best music theory video on modes I have ever seen.
Agreed.
Check out any of Jake's other videos on modes and music theory. They are all superb!
Wonderful lesson
Absolutely.
Most def
1:19 shiiiit i wasnt ready
Too too true!!!
I learned more music theory in 2 days with this guy's vids than I did my entire childhood music lessons.
I've been a self taught musician for 20 years. I knew how to write and play music, but after recently finding your channel, I am now beginning to UNDERSTAND music. I've never understood many concepts until I've heard you explain them. I've always written in scales, but never really knew or cared which one. I didn't think this stuff was important for what I was doing. Now I realize how much better it will make me and how much easier it will be to write and learn music. You've opened up a whole new world to me in just the couple weeks I've been watching your videos. This is perfect because I've been fascinated with Cmajor and Aminor and their relativity and have been playing around with it on the piano a lot (white keys haha). So this video reinforces what I've recently discovered. You've earned my money. I'm heading to Patreon right now. And everyone else who eats these videos up should as well!
Exact same feeling here. I've gone went through lots of advanced theory for years, but only now do I start to have an intuitive grasp on harmony. Your approach really brings a new perspective. And now I realize how classical/jazz training totally fails at making these things accessible - we are taught from the beginning to reason within a major/minor/mode paradigm, when this is all just subjective. On many songs you would have trouble finding a unique tonal center. There would be more relevant things to teach, and I love your videos for that. I hope that we will come up with a more practical model in the future. Many thanks !
Are you kings of Leon?
If only we had examples like this back when I first was learning music, we'd have been light years ahead in our progress. Learners today need to appreciate.
Great practical demonstration of a concept that is usually taught in a very abstract manner! Thanks!
one of the greatest music theory videos ive ever seen. thank you
Yes, made it very clear
I wish the drums hadn't been so loud. They kind of drowned out the effect of the lower chords, and I had trouble hearing the tonal center change.
Crayola Verde I had the same issue. Kind of scared me, in that I thought “why can’t I hear the modal change”?
me too . i thought i was tone deaf for a second
I herd it fine
Did you listen to it on headphones? Anyways as long as you hear the notes and the bass you should hear the modal change right?
It's hard for me to hear it as well. My headphones don't have the strongest bass but they're definitely not phone speakers... probably should have mixed the bass overly loud, cut the drums down a bit, used a less "busy" sound in the note sequencing and orchestral parts. I don't have any issues hearing it when I sit down with my guitar and a looper pedal and play the scales over super plain, unadorned chords. Less "Squaresoft battle music", more "Elementary school teacher demonstrating Row Row Row Your Boat" sorta vibe.
One of the best demonstrations I have seen. Simple and straight to the point and visually comprehensible. Many teachers get too technical with explaining modes but this is shown in an efficient and clear way.
This is perhaps the best explanation of tonics and modes I’ve yet found. I’ve been absorbing as much music theory as I can for the last year or so, but now I finally understand why the tonic matters, and how to use modes to affect the ‘feel’ of the music.
Maybe I’m just slow, but this really did give me a euphoric eureka moment. Thank you.
Modal Harmony is really something that is overlooked in UK educational systems such as school or college and it always amazed me why such content was never really taught. Jake nails the content perfectly.
Thanks for the release!
This is an exceptional way of describing modes. I get it...and more importantly...I hear it and feel it. Thank you.
@Signals Music Studio
I’ve commented on a couple of your videos lately but I really hope you see this one. I just want to say thank you. I have been playing guitar for well over 20 years but have never taken it seriously, just dabbling with the odd tune. I have always wanted to learn music theory after reading some guitar mags and being left to feel like a confused idiot because I just could not understand what they were talking about. At the beginning of this year, I had a massive mental breakdown as a result of the anxiety and mental health issues I suffer from. I locked myself away in my room for days and in that time, music was my go to for remaining stable and keeping calm. I started to use CZcams to ‘study’ music theory and found I started to take it in reasonably easy. I’ve watched hundreds of videos explaining modes; minor thirds; Diminished chords; dominants etc etc and for the most part, I kinda understand at least half of the videos. But there had always been a ‘but what about...?’ A nagging thought in my head (one of my traits unfortunately) that there is something I’m missing, something stopping me from truly understanding this.
As much as I enjoy and mostly understand the other videos, I have to say that honestly, you put all this complicated stuff into such a simple and effective, straight forward way. I don’t know how you do it but thank you. All the questions I have floating around my head, you seem to be answering.
Hey Phil , good for you, start with the C and Am and you can play the same lead licks and chords just remember the key you're in . Add in the mixolydian and your on your way. You Understand those three and the others fall in right under your hands.
I’ve played around trying to learn the modes and you just made it crystal clear in less than 10 minutes...
I believe before providing this kind of pleasure, a price should be agreed on. I owe you some money, sir.
AWESOME!!! 90% of my style is exactly this approach. It's so easy, but I have ANTI-SCALE friends (who know 50 chords and NO scales) who refuse to learn this super powerful bit of easiness, because they mistakenly believe it's too hard to learn a scale (wrong) and scales reduce musicality (WRONG!!!!)...
Maybe this video will change their minds! Excellent!!!!
Really? It is really that simple? Anyone that ever tried to explain it just confused it to the point of my giving up. Thank you for this.
for the first time in my life i understand modes so clearly and only for 5 minutes. You sir are a God of teaching !! goin to the patron , i gotta support this

Thanks
This is honestly the most awe-inspiring music theory video I've ever seen. Fantastic job man!
Amazing video. This should be lesson one for any musician learning modes
This is far the best introductory video for modes, and their usage. FAR FAR the best!
I have seen soooo many videos on modes. It took me a long time to grasp the big deal. Nobody ever showcased it as clearly and concise as this. Everyone learning about modes should see this first! Been following your channel for a while - time to upgrade a youtube subscription to a Patreon subscription
As always, very clear and pedagogic. Love that new format too !
I loved it, and even more because this morning I was watching again the basics for to work with the modes, and analysing old compositions of mine in which I've used them a lot to change colors/feelings according to the lyrics of each fragment of the music.
Fantastic demonstration, Jake!
It's amazing how much info you put in short and easy to follow videos. really awesome.
This is now one of my favorite ways to learn the “colors” of the modes of the major scale.
Outstanding! This is one of the best explanations of the modes I have seen!
Awesome!! This is the best way of explaining modes and tonal center!! More power Jake!!
Hi, I have discovered your CZcams channel this week.
One of the best I have seen so far (if not the best).
Clear explanations and video editing very well done.
Thank you.
Ever since I started with music, I have been trying to wrap my head around modes. This was a revelation and I would like to thank you for finally making it possible for me to understand it. What a brilliant and easy video. This has been one of the best music theory videos I have ever seen.
Just discovered your channel today. I've learned more in just a few of your videos than I have any other video on CZcams! Subbed and diving down the rabbit hole. Thank you so much!
Jake. I want you to know that your videos are very much appreciated. I look for new ones everyday. Please keep up the good work. You are helping the community immensely. Thank you!
Such a smart way of demonstrating this elusive concept.. Thank you for this!
I really needed this! I love your approach to teaching so much.
Loved that! Great way to demonstrate the modes!
Jake, this is a major breakthrough in learning for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this excellent demonstration.
Absolutely wonderful video on this ! Thank you for all your great work … you are one of THE best out there !
Thank you so much. Of all your videos, this is the one that finally "did it" as far as comprehending how tonal center implies each mode.
Jake, I just have to say you have done an awesome job showing how modes and tonal centers sound and feel.
You sir spike my creative musical juices xD Impossible to just watch without wanting to immediately pickup my guitar and learn along with the best CZcams teacher around. Love your content. Thanks !
Super neat, I love your videos. Keep it up! Haha I like in your comment that you NEED to hear the bass. As a bass player subscribed to your channel it made me smile.
Wow. What a unique and inspired way to explain this information! I love it!
What a great video! This is the best I've seen on modes!
Love not just this but all your videos Jake!
The best music teacher out there thank you. Concise clear and straight to the point.
This opened somekind of block / black spot about my understanding of theory.
Really enlightening examples in this one. Highly recommended!
Lately I have had a habit to create melody at first, right after choosing the scale.. and I have normally picked the scale based to what I have practiced most at that time.
It causes a lot of the songs being in the same key, because then I just finish the track by those same settings, one scale and one mode.
After watching theory videos about modes for a while and especially after this lecture, it all started to get so clear.
Got some ideas - production wise - how to compose in DAW. If I make simple beat and melody at first, I still don't have to choose mode yet.
For now on, at this phase I'm just gonna test all the modes first, by adding those long bass notes and some chords, to lock tonal centre to some angle, then trying another.. and finally choosing the one which inspires most and emphasizes that melody.
After choosing the mode (phrygian is my new fav.) I guess I'll just add more notes to the basslines, chords where they fit well and so on.
Melody propably can and will be altered afterwards too, but this might be a good way to get things going faster than before.
I can't wait until I have learned basic skills to high enough level so that I can start doing more advanced stuff with perhaps multiple scales and modes in the same song. ATM it would still be just a big mess. :D
Thank you for extra motivation and inspiration, I'm starting to believe that I really am going to be real musician in this life time here on planet earth!
You are my absolute favourite music lesson channel!
Ah superb man.Really great stuff.So simple but so effective.No idea how i stumbled across your channel, but i always watch the vids instantly.You should do one on modulation.Id love to see your explanation on that.Great work,keep it up.
Totally the coolest example of making a melody sound modal.. great job !!!
Another excellent explanation and demonstration. Keep up the great work!
You nailed it. This is THE video on understanding modes. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you.
Consistently you take seemingly impenetrable theory concepts and create accessible and inspiring learning tools with them. This is by far the simplest and most effective demonstration of modes and their unique effect I’ve ever seen. Brilliant work
I never saw someone explain music theory that clear, its just perfect, I love all of your videos!
Great video, Jake!
Awesome video and explanation, Jake! This video was getting passed around my Music Production Club Discord. Thanks!
Wow dude the last few weeks I asked myself that question like everyday, thank you for wxplaining this in such a straight up understandable way!
Nice Jake, very well presented. The tonal center is the birthing ground of all modes. Understanding this results in an awesome presentation like this. Well done. Thanks
I have been teaching theory for years, this is one of the best demonstrations of modes Ive seen. Great job
One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen. You explained this so well!
I've been wondering about this for so long! Thanks for the help :)
Amazing. I'm so glad I discovered your channel
Love your music theory videos man... excellent work.
A mind blowing way of explaining what modes are and how you separate them within a particular scale.
If the subject was a person it would be like taking an x-ray of the body. At first we can only see flesh but under the x-ray we then see the skeletal bone structure . Brilliant video.
I've struggled with modes for a long time. This is by far the best video and examples I've seen! Thanks!
Brilliant idea to demonstrate the modes moods. It worked perfectly to improve my perception on modal harmony moods.
This video blew my mind on modes, fantastic job
I can't believe I am just now coming across this video after watching so many of your other great videos! Great stuff as always.
Thank U! This is helping me with the tonal centre topic!
Super video!! Good job!
I will find it in my budget to support your page because these lessons are simple to understand and simply the best!
By far the best!!!!!!!
Wow just wow. I've always knew C major and A minor different based on the tonic note but your examples really proved it to me that they are in fact different based on context.
If I could like this video every time I stumble upon it!! Its a brilliant video, the easiest and creative way to demonstrate tonal center. Thanks a lot!!
This might be the most important music lesson I've ever had! Thanks Jake!
without a doubt, the best teacher on the internet. THANKS!!!
True. A particular score could certainly be 'written' (encoded) in ANY 'key'. For the key of C major and the key of A minor, there are no differences between those particular 'keys'. The feel and mood aspect comes from the 'substance' that we add - the structuring - the platform from which we build or develop a piece of music - which includes those concepts such as starting chord and ending chord, and what chord patterns are used. That's where the nice music theory that has been developed over the centuries comes in handy. Nice video! The x-men, superman, battle march type moods are energising.
Wow! This made more sense to me than anything else I've learned on my own. I got to experience the modes in a more visceral way. This video packs in 3 months of lessons on modes and I think it sticks a little better, too.
Recently found your channel. You are, without a doubt, the best music CZcamsr to ever exist. Absolutely fantastic videos.
Thank you, this is something I have to explore deeper thanks to your video!!
Fantastic video!
Before I found your channel I had not heard of different modes. I only knew of major and minor. It’s like looking into the Tardis - it’s so much bigger on the inside! Thank you for revealing a whole new world to me.
The best demonstration ever! Thank you!
Thank you for that resolution at the end!!!
Great video, Jake! I've seen lots & lots of people try their best to explain modes to the masses. Most of those explanations fall a bit flat. This video is the best explanation/demonstration I've seen thus far.
Great video, thanks!
Lots and lots of respect! Right on point, and tons of useful info without any bs!
This was brilliant! Thank you! 🙏🏻
That was now a demonstration of the profound power of the major modes. I thank you sir. You succeeded in conveying its unimaginable beauty. This video must have been an incredible amount of work.
Great demonstration
Jake. I don't understand the "us" in signal music studios. But I must comment. I have for years and years studied music on my own. Read books watched videos and sat under teachers at conservatories. But the lessons here have the perfect amount of time and just the right information to unlock and understanding of the principals each video presents. Well done. Well done!
Awesome video!
Incredible tutorial! Thank you!
Man this is amazingly helpful!! This might be the best guitar music theory stuff on CZcams
Dude. I love your content. Keep it up!
This is a fantastic explanation of tonal centres and modes. Not sure about the others comments but I think you get the complete feel with all of the examples. Fantastic explanation on something that drives guitar (or music) newbies nuts looking for a good explanation.
I first listened to this a couple years ago and found it amazing and enlightening. Since then, whenever someone asks me "What are modes and why should I care?" this is my first response.
I follow this up with your "Riffing with Modes" videos.
I'm 2 minutes into this video and already have a more practical / intuitive understanding of "why and how modes". You sir, are amazing.
This is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen!
