Modes Have Triads Inside Them?!

- Learn the modes the easy way, by hearing them. Once you hear the modes you can use them, and that's when they become valuable.
This lesson exposes a way to play through all the modes and see the chords that they generate. This goes far beyond just "playing the dots" and get's your ear connected to the sound of each scale.

Now I see why Marty is so good! Thank you Chris! Love your style and your knowledge!
Thank you, and you’re welcome!
You are most definitely NOT adding confusion! Your explanations and demonstrations are so beneficial. Thank you for your excellent teaching! 👍🎸
You're very welcome, Kirk. Glad this is insightful!
This was the most clear explanation of the modes I’ve seen yet. Thanks!
Of course, Wayne! Glad this landed well for you!
BTW your visual of 8 notes R to R and making adjustments is a HUGE help in your videos. The best tutorials on these subjects on You Tube! Thanks Chris
Wow, thanks Dan! That’s what I see on the fretboard and it’s eventually what we all need to be able to control to really be in charge of what we’re doing. The few that can hear these relationships confidently, without having to “name” or “number” them are exceptions…but I am not one of them :)
Love the triads, because of your videos, triads have become my friend....
Great to hear!
i found this way much more informative than the other way i learned about modes
The subject of modes is a tricky one, as there are multiple (and correct) ways to look at them. My best advice is to find the method that resonates best, then deep dive using THAT method for a week or two. Then, take a peek at something you saw before that might have been confusing and see if it's more clear with your new context.
Glad this was helpful!
This lesson is GREAT! Breaking it down makes it so much more visible for the player to see! Thank You! Chris!
Thanks, Tone! And thanks for your support and trust in me :)
Mr Sherland you're one of the absolute best teachers on CZcams (guitar or otherwise), at least from my perspective.. Thank you!
Wow, thanks. I really am so glad to be helpful! Thanks for being here~
I like the idea of going back to the 7th on the G string... sounds excellent. Thanks Chris.
You bet!
Another way for all of us to get the modes in our ears, is if you, Chris, could suggest songs to listen to. I think we are familiar with Mixolydian (Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead etc.) and Dorian/Aeolian (Santana etc.). I guess that would just leave Lydian and Phrygian and we can probably ignore Locrian. However, this was another great lesson. Thank you once again!! Surfs Up 😀
Thanks Chris..!👍🏼❤️
You bet! And than you for your support!
Playing a scale where the 7 is played lower than the original root really adds "musicality" and is far more interesting to play. I wish my ol' piano teacher back in the day would have done that.
Thank Chris!
You bet! Glad you enjoyed this one.
One of the drills I give my students is to put the root in the middle of the scale...play up above it, return but PASS it descending, then rise up again and stop at the root.

Super! I discovered your Channel with Marty. Your explanation are so useful. Guitar is as difficult as english, for me! Greetings from France
Bienvenu!
Great, thank you Chris! 👍
Glad you liked it!
I might suggest starting not with Lydian, but Mixolydian. It too has one alteration, but is far more friendly to Rock and Blues. The flat 7 generates a dominant 7 chord, which is WAY more common compared to the Maj7 created in Lydian (and others).
Players almost certainly know songs using Mixolydian without even realizing it. Thunderstruck, Sweet Child 'O Mine, Sweet Home Alabama. Heck....Shake It Off by Taylor Swift uses Mixolydian.
Truth!
The reason I prefer Lydian is that is IS more exotic…mix is everywhere, but that #4 really makes you hear something new!!
Great lesson Chris, as ever!
Ta! Glad you liked it!
Cracking lesson always ...many thanks
Many thanks!
Really fantastic lesson Chris. Understandable but more importantly accessible to students. Thank you.
Thanks, Craig. And of course you’re welcome.
Triads and modes in one lesson,awesome. Thanks Chris 👍👍👍
Thanks for all your support Bubba!
Great lesson!
Thanks Jake! Glad you enjoyed it.
Yay! I think that this way of parsing modes will, help a lot. Thanks Chris! 😊
I hope so, they can be so confusing...as soon as you can grab any understanding of these slippery things, hold on, the rest will follow once you've got a good footing.
Another great lesson man!
Rock on!
This is gold. Sonic dental floss yes!
haha, yeah I like that one too :)
Well done. Thanks Chris. Very clear presentation.
Good stuff
I had to rewind, was looking at my guitar and heard the BEEP! DYING😅
BEEEP!
Really helpful. have been learning the major scale up the neck and learning the intervals and wanted to know more about the modes. Only thing i struggle is remembering the names and the notes that associate with the mode. i understand it starts on one of the notes in it but how some are flat or sharp or etc.
Yeah that stuff is a bit of a cognitive load. But spend 15 minutes each day for a week just memorizing it and you’ll move right past that.
Let me know if you need a hand with anything specific

Excellent Chris! The Yoda of the inter web guitar teachers.
Thanks!
@@curiousguitaristshould have replied with ‘Help you I will…’ 😂
Nicee thank you 🙏👌💯
Great video and coincidentally along the same lines that I have been studying. I think (is it true?) that you can improvise/solo over a particular chord in a particular mode if that chord matches the chord scale degree. For example, in A major when the progression goes to the II chord (B minor) you can solo over it with the dorian mode from B. Or solo over the V chord (E major) with E mixolydian. The benefit is to enhance chord changes, but also to be able to play "outside" the key, since some music has progressions where the chords are not all in the same key. For example, blues, where the I, IV and V chords are all dominant and thus you can solo over all of them with mixolydian (flatted 7th)
That, sir, is exactly correct!
If there is such a thing as a simple example of what you're suggesting here, it would be mind-blowing.
This is super super helpful. Here’s my question: how do the scales we learn (major, minor, pentatonic) intersect with modes? When us intermediate players take a crack at Crossroads or Heartbreaker solos, don’t we just say I’m going to rip in A and find both A major and minor and blues scale notes to make it sound cool, or do we say, I’m going to make this sound myxolydian? Or does that decision depend on the song? (Blues rock in A or cool song based on myxolydian).
Great question!
Once you really connect with any specific mode and really hear it, you’ll be better equipped to know when to use it.
Like the Stairway To Heaven solo for example. It really leverages minor pentatonic in that first phrase, but the end of that lick is pure Aeolian :)
@@curiousguitarist thanks Chris
CHRIS, you forget to show all the triads combinations that are inside each MODES. Is there going to be a part#2 and part#3 lesson about the other triad combinations inside each mode? Neil Schon will play a modal motif which will repeat over and over while the rhythm chord will keep changing to different chords. Example if Neil Schon is playing an Ionian Motif but the next following chord will change the Ionian Motif into a Dorian Motif then the next following chord will change that original Ionian Motif into a Lydian Motif. I'm not sure what the correct musical term this is called when doing this because its not melodic sequencing its repeating a motif and the motif melody line will change its modal based on the chords. Try to make a YT lesson about Neil Schons way of using modes.
Yes, great context there!
But this is an introduction to the idea wayne, not a comprehensive report of the possibilities. I want to INTRODUCE guitarists to this view, not complete their knowledge in the subject(s).
Thanks for the comment!
Wow. 🤯
Nice! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Great lesson on Modes.

Is it possible that you made a mistake here? It looks to me like you played a b2 in the minor scale. I am just confused, as I know you are a great teacher and I'm just learning modes. In other words, if it is a mistake, it's all good, but if it's not, I'm lost, LOL.
Vincent
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
@@curiousguitarist There was a question in my previous post that remains unanswered. Yes, I did enjoy the lesson.
@@lesacadiens-natachavincent6986 Phrygian is a minor mode built off of the 3rd degree and has a b2. Is that the one you are referring to?
@@curiousguitarist czcams.com/video/nPAzKm2PKLE/video.html
At 5:13 into the video, you talk about the minor scale, and on the video we see R 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 R. It looks to me like you play R b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 R (Phrygian), but we see the natural minor scale on the video. I just want to make sure I don't have this all wrong. Thank you for the replies.
