This lesson explores modal interchange AKA modal mixture between Dorian and Minor. Specifically with the tonal center of E. The four chords we are working with are Em - G - A and C, and these do not fit conveniently into a single mode of major. Therefore switching between scales is a valid and helpful approach to writing melodies or leads over these chords.
We explore several different varieties of scale-blending, arpeggios, and voice leading to discover new ways to solo over a set of chords without just repeating the same licks over and over.

Jake, I have to say that your channel is really one of the most informative, organized, easy to use and well produced collection of guitar instruction videos anywhere, on CZcams or elsewhere.
very kind of you to say that, thank you!
Signals Music Studio 👍 Thank you!
I couldn't agree more.
I thought only patrons got replies from Jake? ;-)
Indeed it is!
I’m surprised Jake doesn’t teach at the most prestigious music universities... wait w minute, actually I’m not. Those universities don’t deserve him hahaha he’s too good. And the fact that he makes it so quick and it’s free Is incredible
Pentatonic minor is the guitarist answer to most life problems.
It's like duct tape or super glue. It fixes just about everything.
There r other possibilities, even if u can’t see them
@@phucyu8428no. It ain’t. We’re talking about art, here
E-Kinda-Dorian is my new favorite mode.
My first thought was "There is a house in New Orleans..." 😁
So I wasn't far off?!
same
You mean For Your Love!
The same
And when he started soloing in Dorian it sounded like every Ghost solo
This is the kind of stuff I’ve been looking for! People often say “you don’t need theory, just play with feel” which I agree with. However.....knowing why and where ideas work is interesting and helps you reach that “feel” faster. Thank you!
As a guitar player who mostly uses feel to get me through making my own music, there are times when I get stuck on where to go next and having some theory knowledge helps me get unstuck, but I always go with feel
This needs to be a series
1:33 you know a solo is gonna be fire when it starts like that
Also that Dorian pentatonic and the very specific one in E,was used in a Radiohead song,I think lucky
Boy, his lessons are always a treat! Whenever he uploads anything, I almost always apply it immediately to something I'm doing.
Pianist here. You are by far one of the best teachers I've found on the tube. Thank you for doing these.
Holy shit, this video is a wealth of knowledge for lead players.
My G arpeggio suddenly shrunk up at 7:25, how embarassing
Sudden shrinkage happens to everyone, don't worry! Jk, keep on rockin' Jake, awesome lesson
Not to worry. This video is very useful. I am going to compose using this chord progression. Thank you.
Gosh, I'm always embarassed when my arpeggios shrink too, don't worry.
I've already called the police. People like you should go to jail forever
It's ok, it's just the cold water.
This is brilliant. This video is brilliant, omg, I can't stress this enough...
I, as a hobby musician without formal prior education, found so many answers and new links between topics with this video. This material is gold, I've watched this a couple of times already, and even the way you shed light on these solutions is satisfying to watch and listen to.
Thank you so much for these videos, you explain topics in a wonderfully clear way! I dare to say that you are one of the best music teachers on CZcams, and definitely >the< best music theory teacher for guitarists.
I used to think musical ability was some kind of magical gift 🎁 . Thank you sir for showing me some great stuff
Jake always be talking like you know exactly what he's talking about
I just can't believe how I never thought of method #4. Such a simple thought, such a bright, kinda sour sound, softened up by that C chord.
Im glad I found this channel, couldn't believe I've produced my first song.Thanks a lot Jake 😁😁
Just found this channel. Learned more watching this than 5 years of noodling on my own. Thank you.
As always, great video Jake!!
Bravo!!! Excelent video Jake!!!

This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. I had been working with my guitar instructor (Pre-Covid) about these exact things.
Excellent, as always, thank you 😊
Great lesson, I am allways learning new approaches with you
That descending arpeggio really made sense to me in terms of something I have heard countless times in solos but never really knew the mechanics of it. It finally made sense thanks to you simple explanation!! Thanks
What a great lesson!
Do the same thing with Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant!
One note makes all the difference
Jake always comes up with great ideas to look at common passages differently.
Solid information - nice posting. Super useful.
Outstanding bro....lots of thanks
6.1 and 6.2 were solid gold, awesome tonal ideas there!
Clear, complete, detailed, pleasant - Thank you Jake.
Always awesome! Thanks to Jake and the Patreons!
I really don't understand why you don't have a lot more subscribers! Been subscribed a long time, and it's incredible how you are able to explain music theory in such a comprehensive way! So thank you, I learn alot from your channel!
As somebody with no formal music theory education at all, I have to tip my hat at your ability to convey this knowledge in a way that is accessible and easy to understand.
One of your best videos yet. All the individual lessons you’ve taught about modes etc are stacking up to super practical application

Your channel is on my top five list.

This is an excellent lesson. Watching your channel, things I’ve never quite understood about music theory make total sense now, and you seem to have an endless supply of tricks/techniques as well as the ability to explain why they sound good.

Another outstanding lesson - You are a great teacher sir! Everything is easy and accessible and logical. Yet you don‘t oversimplify and you don‘t ramble - well done! The recorded tracks sounded excellent too.
Another great post! Thanks!
Probably the most important lesson in solo making. Excellent breakdown. I just wonder how come this lesson has been posted so late. Thanks Jake.
One of the best lessons of 2k20... Making this year a bit good. Thanks man ♥️... Love your lessons
I have watched a lot of CZcams instructional guitar videos from a plethora of CZcamsrs. I have subscribed to a number of them as well, but you, you teach, then you give actual examples that are extremely useful. And you do all of this in plain language that can be easily understood. You, my new friend, are awesome! 🎸
Thanks My Man You are the Best teaching for guitar playing.
