What are guitar modes? I wish I could go back in time, and learn guitar modes a different way. They would have made so much more sense if back in the early days of learning uitar I had used the approach I'm sharing with you today.

I really like this idea of picking the open E and practicing the modes over top of it. Really cool exercise.
This is something I always meant to chart out for myself. I agree... the classical way to learn them is to build them from each note in a given scale.. but then they aren't using the same 'magnet' and aren't in the same key.. this is FAR better and more concise. Kudos on a great tutorial!
You are blowing my mind! 20 years Iâve tried to understand the rocket science of modes and in 12 minutes I now get it⊠thank you!
Really amazing watching you develop your course over the last few years. Thank you for creating such great & informative content!
Awesome lesson.
I went through the same thing learning modes. I would relate everything to the parent key when I was playing over the progression which allowed me familiarity with the scale pattern, but my licks didn't really sound as modal as they could/should.
I started doing what you are doing over a cello drone and it finally clicked in. Wish I had you for a teacher from the beginning.
Excellent lesson, awesome teacher!
You've become one of my favorite instructors, David. Keep up the great work!
Youâre the first teacher Iâve heard teach this right, from an emotional perspective!
THANK you! This is a really great exercise! This helps me remember what the modes SOUND like.
Wow, thanks so much! Iâve been struggling to understand and remember the formula for modes. This is a huge help!
Excellent lesson! I've never understood how modes were to be used effectively. The magnet concept is brilliant. I was noodling along with you and could detect a glimmer of light! Keep it coming!
And with this lesson, you still don't understand modes. :(
You are such great teacher ! Love your stuff and learning fast
What a great viewpoint of modes - it really opened my eyes to a different way of looking at them.
Great video! I learned a lot on this tricky subject. Thank you.
Really hypnotic playing. Loved it. You can hear the subtle differences against that droning E note.... The "magnet" as David calls it
Exactly how I teach this to my students! All about the interaction harmonically! I teach modes as shapes to begin with and bring in the harmony later once the major scale is understood!
Truly excellent. Best explanation of this I've ever seen.
Super useful! Really makes sense now. I love the different feeling one can create using modes.
Best CZcams Guitar Lesson in a long time! Not only can you see the subtle differences between each mode, they are fun to play around with.
THANK YOU for making modes easier to understand! This is one of your BEST lessons yet!
This is a cool approach, the way that I was taught to understand modes is to think of the underlying chord progression, since that's really where the difference comes in, when you shift the root the scale degrees change and the thus the chord progressions that work with the mode are different. That's pretty much what you're doing just with the roots, so you can easily expand on this.
This is fantastic. Helped immensely
I have learn this approach not long ago after years of confusion, thank you for fortifying this idea.
Although I have learned more theory later in life, I started playing guitar just by ear. In pre-internet days, the only way to learn was to listen to records. I had put together both major and minor pentatonic scales (of course, without knowing what they were called - I just remembered shapes on the neck relative to where I played the root chord) and understood their voice and where to use them fairly easily and was content with that for years. And then Passion and Warfare came out. In particular, The RIddle was the first time I was hearing sounds I didn't know how to reproduce. At first I just thought they were magical Steve Vai scales, but after listening a lot and learning to copy, I came up with the realization that they were all just different major scales played over a different root. So you could play a D major scale over E, or an A major scale over E or a B major scale over E, and get these unique colorings. I never learned them as different intervals within a single key - I just thought of them as different major scales. Even now that I know what modes are, this mental model still seems simpler to me. Instead of memorizing 7 different scale shapes, I memorize 1 and learn to play it in every key. Then all I have to know is which major scale over a given root, gives me the sound I want.
Wow that's how I think of them as well. Using different major scales over certain chords or particular keys to achieve the sound of a particular mode. For example if I want to play a Dorian mode over Am I will play a G major scale or Em scale since they are both the same notes. That was always easier for me than thinking in terms of having to play a sharp or flat note in that scale
Me too. it's a much simpler concept to grasp.
@@guitello100 Of course? as long as your bass note (the magnet) is A, every G major mode you play over that A will sound dorian.
This is also how Iâve approached it and the only way my pea brain can comprehend đ€Ł
This is pretty much nail on the head just remember to accent your root by ending and starting on it. If you play e min scale for example over a minor chord you would want to still end on that a to stay in the a dorian mode since a Dorian begins and ends on a.
Bro, this is awesome. This really help me get more melody focus on my songwriting
Thanks David, all your videos are very helpful and you explain superb !
Fantastic lesson! I"m a new fan!
This is a great video. Very inspiring content. Thanks man. Definitely subscribed!
Thanks David for this lesson! Subscribed!
Thank you so much. This is a great lesson. I hope you'll make more many this one clip.
This has to be one of the best lessons which has furthered my understanding about modes.
The explanation is beautiful and flows from one concept to another leading to âthe characteristic noteâ
Fascinating how movement of one note completely changed the sound and mood - just one note !
Thank u David ! Iâm going to play with this using root notes on different strings next - this is going to be just hours if not days of non stop fun
đđœ
My gosh, this is THE best lesson I have ever seen on modes.
David, that was a great video. Thanks!
Very clear explanation, you have amazing teaching skills. You have a new subscriber from today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great lesson! Thank you.
C'est génial et pourtant simple, merci !
Awesome yet simple, thank you !
James Scott Nicholson, Ontario, Canada! I am so glad to see someone breaking down the modes, into 7 note Patterns. They are confusing enough as they are, especially when theyâre transcribed into14 to 20 note patterns... in the process of learning my scales I have always had no problem figuring out the rest of the notes all over the fretboard, Hence as you say simply mastering all the notes on the fretboard. For example through this Covid period,I have taught myself theory. In the last month I started taking my major and minor scales in seven note forms, and transcribing them all over the neck. It makes it so much easier just looking at the seven notes you need. PS I had a lot of fun doing it, so now I have a model template??? I can start transcribing them all over the neck. Thanks a lot this makes so much more sense and Iâve been on modes For six months now. Top left
Amazing breakdown David, loved it!! It was extremely helpful, you have gained a new subscriber thank you!! đŻ
Thank you so much!
This was awesome thank you!
Super Leçon David. Thanks a lot
Absolutely brilliant lesson.
Woooow your teachings is pure. Thank you! I Wish i have known this 10 years ago! Playing catch up now..
thanks! you make anything seem so natural.
plus that guitar is beautiful
Thank you!
By far the best video on the topic, thanks!
Well explained, thank you so much đ
That's cool !!! Sensational explanation!!! Things like this are excited!!!
Great lesson and sound demo for the Church modes. Handy PDF chart also. Thanks.
Great lesson! Frankly speaking, I've come to right that conclusion (modes are the strong auxillary guitar players' tool for emotional embellishment of guitar melodies; there are 3 major and 4 minor modes etc.) long ago and this David's lesson said nothing new to me exept the confirmation of what I already know. BUT! I listened this lesson with great pleasure: to present information succinctly, maximal informatively and comprehensive way - one must have the respective teacher's talent. You have this talent, David! Thank You very much and please, keep on moving!
Great moods in your little stories!
Great way to learn the feel of the different modes. I found playing chord triads on the 5,4,3 strings using notes from the modal scales and then soloing over those also helped pick up the feel
There's even a better way to get into modes. When you play a minor pentatonic scale, you leave out the 2nd and 6th degree of a mode. By filling these holes you create the dorian (2 & #6), aoelian (2 & & 6) and the phrygian (b2 & 6) modes. Then you take a major pentatonic and do something similar, and complete the scale with a 4th and a 7th. Ionian (4 & 7), lydian (#4 & 7) and mixolydian (4 & b7). I've taught it like thar for decades,.Anyway. This method has a least 2 big advantages over every other approach I'm familiar with. 1st: you build modes on something you already know, and 2nd: the notes you add, are actually the ones that give you the characteristic sound of the scale
PS: Long live Reverend guitars :-)!
PPS: For locrian you obviously need a b2 and a b5, so you would have to alter the 5th of your minor pentatonic, but - honestly - the last time I could have used locrian (must have been in the early 90ies), I probably played a half-diminished arpeggio ;-).
You deserve shit for going on the man's channel and being that one-upping-know-it-all, but, I gotta give you credit. That's good information.
I understood his video, but don't understand your comment. Making your own video of this would help a lot more than your comment.
You obviously don't know how to play jazz.
@@stuntdouble777 Shit, I didn't think it was that obvious :-( ... ;-)
@@robn.7426 I prefer making music to making videos, but if you have a specific question, just ask. It's easier than it sounds. Here's my email: vikbeck@gmx.at
This is great. I've been trying to gradually learn some modes and this is very helpful for me, because I already love playing that open E string and messing around an octave up while letting it ring out. So essentially I think I've already been playing around with the modes in the way you did here, just without knowing why those notes sounded so good together. Now I know.
Thank you sir for the lessonđđ
Outstanding lesson.
So good, I know all the mode on 6 strings but now I do understand that we have to reference to the note that makes the modes depending on the key we play.
Very helpful, thanks.
Thank you David đđ» I love the sounds of the different modes đž only wish I could get my head around them đđ»đŹđ§đž
Thanks so much Dave!
Great lesson!
One of the best approaches to learning and digesting the intention of modes I've seen to date. I often wonder why instruction on modes is typically or intentionally perplex. Sinisterly, I can't help but think that ego can get in the way...as if to keep the "secret" a "secret". Out of the endless tutorials, how many get to the real point? It's disheartening to think that there exists such a lack of teaching ability out there. Or, that the intention is to not really convey. In any case, this lesson is all you need, in the beginning, and to build from there. Excellent job!
As a drummer moving to guitar and bass recently, this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
me too! :)
yes, i amđđ
Great lessons...thanks so much...
I learned ( which was my straight forward book way) every mode in A .All 5 mode scale positions up the neck.After I learned those..the book said "Now u know all the modes" Which is true,after you memorize the mode scales in Key of A or learn starting with any key..the fingering never changes it - just depends what fret your playing those shapes on changes the mode name.Example: If you learn key A- Aeolian scale at fifth fret but slide up to 7th fret and play same exact scale now your just playing B Aeolian.. So instead of doing that ,go to 7th fret n play 2nd interval of A aeolian, then to 9th fret n play proper interval n so on till you've completed all 5 scale patterns.Aeolian just means natural minor scale.So now u know(after u study what those 5 patterns are the minor scale all the way up the neck in key of A but you can Use any Key u want now that u know the minor scale in any key you choose..That just 1 mode of 7, each with a diff name n sound but you know all the patterns if you know just the one.Mine I first learned was in A so figured I'd tell u guys how I learned "The Modes"
Just brilliant!!!
Best lesson I've seen on Modes !
Mind blowing!!!! Thanks!!!!!
This explanation is helpful, seeing each mode as itâs own scale as opposed to relating everything to the major scale. Because each scale still sounds like E, in this case instead of starting each mode on each note of the major scale which completely changes the tonal quality of each scale.
I normally couldn't care less about online lessons. Buy really waiting for your course. Please tell me there will be one đ
Good stuff - thank you
it enlightens me....thank you thank you đđ
Probably the best explanation and use of modes so far
This is helpful, thank you.
Thank you.....Good explanation. I see many on CZcams using the methed of the major scale and say this is not going to mean a thing to a great many people. This is also much faster and makes it easier to improvise when you just want to get to it and jam. IMO
Interesting...thx. I learned the modes like you first described.....this may train my ear better.

Dude since years ago i've tried to understand modes untill i check that vidéo ... Thé best WAY for me thank you so much
Intervals are the best in transitioning tone oyeah glad you repeat stuff
Thank you David
Man... That's so much easier to understand... Thank you... This has been bugging me for a while. Thank you for playing from the same position! Now I can see how they relate to each other. Not just the same notes in a different place on the neck.. I paid $500 for a class and you showed me more in 12 minutes than that place has...
now it make sense, thanks great Video
when I'm practicing these modal improves i like to think of other songs i know that use that mode ..if i can. just helps me recognize it and distinguish the differences
Thank you for sharing this with us
This is just amazing
It is very helpful thanks
finally got my head around pentatonic and can apply it in my playing so trying to move on to modes and I feel like it's jumping from simple addition and subtraction to calculus.
I gotta tell ya David, you sure know your way around that guitar fret board. New fan here!
Excellent lesson!
Great lesson ! A drone is a single note that carries on for a period of time. EASY Example for playing the Lydian mode. Open E as the drone. Play the A major scale over the E drone and you will be able to hear the characteristics of the Lydian mode. Simple beginner trick to satisfy the ear with instant results giving you the belief in the method and encouragement to learn more.
great, thanks
awesome lesson many thanks! .....would u please tell us how distinguish in the term of the story (conceptually) between the 3 major modes ? what degree of happiness each mode stands for ? and the same with the 3 minor modes.....thanks again!
Nice Reverend. I have 4 different models and would like to get more.
Excellent!!!
Best 12 minutes of modes in CZcams
Modes made no sense to me until I played them against a chord which actually happened by accident...I was strumming a Cmaj chord and then played the notes of Gmaj against it. My 1st thought was Flying in a Blue Dream and my second was oh Lydian so this is how modes work. Pretty simple and I don't understand why people are confused by such a simple concept. I see a few CZcamsr's talk about the confusion of modes when there is nothing confusing at all...Play the notes of Gmaj against a Gmaj chord progression Ionian, Play the notes of Gmaj against an Amin chord progression Dorian..ect ect...nothing confusing at all. target the cord tones and put some emphasis on the half steps and your ready to rock. I love theory. Was always a scary word to me but boy was I wrong...theory is awesome!
@@christof7778 Happy to help. It really is a simple concept. Modes are all about what you put emphasis on. I'm no incredible guitar player however learning theory has brought me a lot closer to being one. Happy jamming!!!
Just won a new subscriber. Very nice video! :)
Thank you so much..
Very helpful.
I have watched literally dozens of your very informative videos and only, just now, have a grasped why you always refer to the "magnet." I suspect this is a breakthrough (after some 50 years of playing guitar, by the way - often not particularly well).
Thanx.
I read somewhere that the modes were developed after people had been playing music for awhile so that they represent the various ways that the notes of a given scale are actually played.
Good stuff.
"Magnet" is really helpful!
Finnally some clean tones, now I can hear the sound of the guitar, (and not the disto sound of your gear), in this case a new cool one guitar indeed.
p.x. : why you do not play those modes in the other string? Even the tabs are missing them?
Anyway, Ciao !! đ
