I always memorized the modes by „where the Half steps are“: Ionian: 3-4 and 7-8, Aeolian: 2-3 and 5-6. Etc once you know this, the rest with what you need to flatten or sharpen is only a consequence... And „where the half-steps are“ is clearly visible on the piano, if you play only the white keys and start with eg D for Dorian or E for Phrygian etc...

[@alexvienv]

Love it. I just noticed the formula is Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Lochrian for each mode. i.e. if you start with G ionian (C Lydian), then from there go along the circle of 4ths and the modes will go in that order. C Lydian (G Ionian), C Ionian (C Major), C Mixolydian (F Ionian), C Dorian (Bb Ionian), C Aeolian (Eb ionian), C Phrygian (Ab ionian) and finally C Lochrian (Db ionian). It's amazing the patterns you can find in music.

Rick, I am enrolling I "Jazz Guitar" at the local school of music next Spring. I have never had a lesson, so I am nervous I won't be able to handle the theory. This course is giving me the confidence to know that I have now seen this stuff before. I have been in a hospital or rehabilitation center for 3 years.

This is one of the most precious videos on YT for those who want to learn music. Very clear, fast, with all that really matters. I knew yet about a 70% of that, but it was so useful to understand better and put things in order, and to complete the knowledge of some topics. Greatly appreciated.

[@Destractoid]

I'm going to be honest, as someone who knows almost nothing about music theory this is kind of overwhelming. I understand that it is a lot more information than you usually consume at once, but music theory always feels like it expects you to understand other parts of music theory no matter where you actually start. I always feel the need to ask "before you continue, what do you actually mean by ___".

[@davidshepard3708]

FANTASTIC. Thanks a ton, Rick! I've heard and seen and listened to these sorts of things a ton in the last year. This is the best one for me.

[@ffggddss]

Totally awesome! You're right on target, saying that different people learn new things in different ways. A fellow amateur performer once asked me after I played & sang a fairly lengthy tune, how I memorized long, complicated lyrics. I had only thought fleetingly about it before that, and his question has had me trying to answer that for years now. Because I can do that with some songs, but just cannot do it with others that ought to be easier. Best I can come up with is, the ones I manage to memorize, I get a mental picture/movie of, as the story unfolds, and remembering those images, brings the lyrics to mind. Having been taught piano from a young age, I just learned the circle of fifths, I think by associating the steps in it with some other, now vague, mental images. So I suppose I'm a visual learner. OBTW, you might have pointed out, and I hope most of your viewers picked this up, that the order of sharps and flats, simply follows the Co5ths. Also note that the major scale can be built from the Co5ths. Example: the C-major scale. The roadmap for this is, start with the step 4 of the scale (F), then repeatedly go up a 5th, or down a 4th (which is just the inversion of an upward 5th), whichever stays within the octave spanned by the scale. So you go: Start: F -4th = C +5th = G -4th = D +5th = A -4th = E +5th = B, and you're done, because you've filled up the 7 slots needed. All you have to do then is unscramble the order. ;-) Fred

Think of the major scale as a phone number. Going up in semi-tones or frets on the guitar or keys on the piano. Starting on the root the phone number that describes the major scale is 221 2221. The minor scale phone number, starting on the root, is 212 2122. Both of which add up to 12 - which is how many chromatic notes in a scale.

In addition to memorizing the major scales (and the circle of fifths), I would recommend actually building all of them yourself from the major scale formula (WWHWWWH). This will help you memorize them and have a much deeper understanding of why they have certain notes, and why the circle of fifths is set up the way it is. Thanks, Rick!

Dr. Beato, thank you. I was kept back in the 4th grade because I could not read. Like you said, I could not remember what I read. I also, had a problem with spell; I can't spell for $h!t. Other kids and Adult would wonder, how can you know so much stuff, but can't read or spell. I can read and I can spell a little, but I can't remember how to spell some words ; or remember what I read two minute ago. I'm 64 years old as of January 9, 2021. You have explained what is wrong with me. I thought I was the only one in the world who had this problem. As a black child in Washington, DC Public School, I was classified as retarded (mentally ill). I fought though school by remembering what the teacher said as appose to reading stuff. This help me through to high school, but when I got to college I was screwed. Because, professors would say, in some of my classes read chapters 1 to 10 test on Friday and walk out of the class. I dropped out, and I'm 32 credits from a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. I am retired now; I wish someone would have explained or said what you've said in this video way back than. Instead of trying to put me in special education class or sending me to the principles office, or call my parents because I wouldn't go to the special education classes (with kids who had behavioral problems and other physical issues) or kicking me out of school. Only if someone knew about A.D.D. back then. Thank you so very much Rick (Dr. Beato).

I was really well proud of myself when it took me 39:21 to learn something new! And what a thing as well. It was the one part I wasn't sure about in what I'd read thus far of the Beato Book I just bought yesterday Love the stuff you show Rick, one day I'll either be able to afford the ear training course or have trained my ear so much on my own thanks to your advice to do so that I don't need it anymore

[@Stephen_Eee]

Rick is awesome...I listened to the first few minutes, then grabbing the 12 string out the closet...its got sh!t strings but oh well

Rick, you are an awesome music teacher! I really like all of your videos...music theory, what makes this song great, interviews with great musicians like Peter Frampton and Luke, and all your other great stuff. Thanks for all the time you spend making the greatest KZbin channel ever! :)

[@SilentMott]

60 seconds in: "for those of you who don't know your key centers"...AAAAAAAaaaaaand I'm lost...

[@nitraus666]

Exactly.

[@mentalpatient2324]

Same. No idea what a sharp or a flat is.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

I kinda figured this was more for people who have a basis in music to begin with. I've taught for nearly 40 years - so I can easily keep up - but I can definitely see places where I imagine Rick is taking for granted his listeners know certain stuff - like when he started suddenly talking about the "B diminished" chord in the scale of C major. Civilians be like: "Whaaaa----? Hang on! Where'd THAT word come from?!"

Many years ago, I remember my music theory teacher gave us a way hear some intervals by the first interval in familiar songs. For example: Perfect 4: Here Comes the Bride. Perfect 5: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Major 6: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.

[@mikegreenguitar]

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" starts with an octave. The Simpsons theme is a sharp 4th (Lydian scale)

[@partsscraps41]

I gave up after 4 mins, not for beginners

[@zamsden]

As far as the commentary on the video itself, let me just say around the 12:40 mark I learned three things in under a minute that I was pretty unconfident in knowing before, two of those within 15 seconds of each other Mad props! This is the way teaching should be done. Just stop distracting us with that perfect circle.

[@jrice135]

We beginners really need to hear the notes. You've long since forgotten what it was like to know nothing. It's one thing to know; it's a whole differnet balgame to be able to teach what you know.

[@dudleyscott6266]

This is Music Theory in 1 hour for people that already have a reasonable grasp. I was lost in the first 10 seconds.

[@55jemmz5]

Did you even watch the video?

[@76JStucki]

@@RogueReplicant Well, it's not that newbies "aren't welcome." Everyone is welcome. The video is simply "how much can he cover in this amount of time?" It isn't intended to be the only Theory lesson a beginner will ever need. A beginner will need more time and reinforcement of ideas in order to grasp things, just like they would for learning a new language, or computer coding, or basketball, or ...pretty much anything. Take what you can from it, but Rick has plenty of videos where he covers less material that's more digestible. This video is more of a novelty.

[@aholder4471]

As someone who plays both piano and guitar, my 2 cents is that both the number system and the W/H formula systems both are super useful. For the guitar, understanding how to build the scales from intervals has helped me go to the next level of understanding. Also being able to do whole/half steps verticaly to build scales without going to my memorized shapes is really unlocking stuff as well as getting use to playing those same formulas horizontally on the guitar. Next I'm trying to memorize the function of each notes, like root, thirds, fifths etc and memorize all the notes on the fretboard. I already know all the notes on strings 6, 5 and 1, but I'm trying to memorize 4,3,and 2 without having to resort to octaves on the other strings to figure out the note. But I never understood modes until I learned two things, and I'm still in my infancy of understanding them, but when I learned that it was the sound of the mode compared to the root note, and also the formulas of the mode compared to the major Scale, that's when it clicked. When I first learned the modes on the piano, I didn't understand why they were important because they were all the same notes in the major scale and they didn't sound any different, until I started playing them against the root notes, the right root notes after you figure out that Dorian is the major with a flat 3rd and flat 7th, I started playing it against the root note of the original major scale Instead of the root note of the mode itself. It gets confusing even still now. I might be wrong about that last part but at least I can hear it now.

[@robertakerman3570]

I'm Myself struggling w/ simple degrees. It's more fun to suss them out, rather than research the various notes. I can't memorize Key sigs, but the scales are all muscle memory. As far as Modes-It's fun to watch the Master @ work.

[@ishaq24722]

Thanks for the sale Rick! What I do is take Rick's videos, this one and the last one about modes, for instance, along with the Beato book and get the screenshot ap and then what I don't understand in the book 100 percent can be supplemented by the videos. It works for me.

A friend has a particular type of dyslexia. Caused by being forced in school to write Right Handed when he was naturally Left Handed. Quite barbaric and an anachronism for the era, early 60s Britain. He has major problems reading books. He Did discover that if he read out loud , that the information would make it to the part of his head that comprehended the words. His speech centre got the info from his eyes but didn't pass the data directly to the rest of his brain. Hearing himself speak was the only way he could take in the information. Fascinating huh ?

[@brucererek8764]

It is just recently that educators understand people learn in a myriad of ways. What makes reading music lost on me is like Rick's reading comprehension. But I still play with the tools that make me able to do so.

[@KozmykJ]

@@RogueReplicant It doesn't happen so much these days but it is a documented phenomenon. Not Everybody is affected in the same way. Furthermore there are a number of types/reasons for left-handedness. Brains work in many ways that are yet to be understood but the forcing cause has been established by the medical profession, it's not just me wiseacreing about it ...

If you count 7 half steps (semi tones) up from c you get g... which has 1 sharp that is 1 half step below, f#. You always count up 7 half steps to get the next letter in the circle, and the new sharp for that key is always 1 half step below... in case you forget the mnemonic

Rick, when you describe the manner in which your mind works, your mode of learning, you're speaking my language, totally. Been diagnosed as super ADHD. You likely land in the same camp. So happy to see that it hasn't held you back. 👍🏻👍🏻

Rick it might be very helpful for guitarists if you did this exact same lecture but playing the chords/scales on the guitar. Huge fan!

[@riffsandpics]

I bought the Beato Book. Highly recommended if you’re a visual learner like me - diagrams, charts, links between concepts all clear and very comprehensive, particularly for guitar. Great work Rick.
