Came here to get my brain shredded with modes. Was not disappointed. Thank you! 🙏

[@mikoajflis3185]

What a time to shred!

[@jsblack02]

What a time to be alive

[@RobChappers]

Hey guys, for all the people asking about my T-shirt, my wife purchased it from a store in Malta called “Kiabi”

[@D.Miller]

I really wish I had a KZbin and Rob Chapman around when I was a teen to learn all of this kind of thing

[@jonbradbury3843]

This is the best description of mixolydian on KZbin. I’ve tried to understand it for a while and now I do. Thanks Rob.

[@RobChappers]

That really means a lot to me Jon, thank you so much man 🤘🏽

[@untappedreality]

Thank you so much, Rob! I love when you post videos like this! So informative and it's just such a joy to hear your licks and riffs! You've been my teacher for 8 years now! Haha.

[@claytondouglasmusic]

You’ve been a huge inspiration to me for many years now, Rob! I’m so glad I found you on the Anderton’s channel, and I’m very thankful for your teachings, seriously. I appreciate you!

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Every day with one of my 4 guitars is..."me time!" Great video Rob....I love how it don't matter how many years I've been playing...I still after 30 years, learn and find new approaches. Thanks 🙏

[@mmiller6873]

Excited to watch this and try out the lessons. I previously watched a vid of yours about scales and being a novice player, practice them every day. You totally inspire me to keep playing and practice, practice, practice.

[@walterppk1989]

yo I'm digging that yellow. So sick

[@MauiBoyTrav]

I appreciate that monumental dump .... of information. Cheers Rob!

[@ThePaJomaster]

Great vid! My first time experimenting with modes was simply adding a major 3rd to my pentatonic minor, never knew that fitted the mixolydian mode! The intro to 'Catalyst' (Dorje) always comes to mind

[@Foghornish]

I'm familiar with the modal scales already but interesting to learn from another perspective and still useful. Especially hearing how Rob phrases mixolydian. However the part about chord progression was amazing. One of the best lessons I've had. Many thanks Rob.

[@philfyphil]

Lovely yellow guitar Rob. :-) Free training folks, let’s be grateful.

[@iaing2030]

You're such a great teacher Rob! I follow your lessons like these very easily and learn so much from them. Please do more of these they are just brilliant.

[@jordandangelo180]

Great lesson! Super important mode…probably the most important mode to learn along with Dorian in order to play proper modern guitar individualistically.

[@zmaninpgh]

Cleared up so much confusion. Excellent, excellent video. I’m a subscriber now.!

[@snapfinger1]

The Paul Gilbert exercise at 22:05 is the plateau buster. As we say in the USA. You da man.

Thanks for explaining this in a down-to-earth way.

[@stephanfuchs7891]

Oh boy...I have a lot to learn...I'd like a teacher like you, Rob! 😊

[@JPAcuna3]

Thanks Rob! really enjoyed this lesson. I'll try to practice the licks for a while so i don't forget them.

[@jamesduncan1201]

Great stuff! Finally a bit of music theory to help it all make sense!

[@Death.Co.]

Yeah I never realized it was that close to being a major scale. Thanks for the great lesson , I feel kind of stupid, I play music for a living and never practiced this scale, lol.

[@pirimusic]

fantastic, thanks Rob !

[@simontemplar3359]

Rob!!!!GRRREEEEEEETINGS!!! This is so useful and super cool that you take the time to share this. I've been a fan since before y'all relocated. Btw I hope Mediterranean life is a delight!

[@RobChappers]

Greetings and thanks for the support to 🤘🏽

[@odditeemusic6016]

Eb tuning yes! Been tuning that way for thirty years. Helps with singing as well..and E Mixolydian=F# Min ..just play a whole step up..same scale fingerings.E Lydian=Ab Minor..I hear it from a minor perspective..It works that way for all modes..different intervals but same fingerings..Your way is great and well explained too..I love how we all see the fretboard in different ways!

[@ShadeHope1969]

Thx chap! This helped tremendously. Im kinda stuck on the 5 pent positions but now this adds some flavor.

[@Point50Paul]

This was awesome, thank you so much Rob. I felt like I was in the room having a lesson.

[@reefertonpuff1]

WILL WORK FOR GHOST FRET!!! Chappers! You have been a major influence on my guitar life! From a video about beginner metal scales to haters bashing you on your charity donations to showing off the ghost fret pro in the 2023 namm videos... I need a purple ghost fret!!!! I am in AZ USA and will shamelessly promote Chapman guitars across the pond if I could simply play a purple ghost fret for a few days!!! Keep it real, brother!!!

Nice video buddy! These videos help me to help my students, it saves me a lot of time. That part of the use of these videos doesn't get mentioned much, but I really do appreciate them. I tell my guys to save them in their 'guitar lessons' playlist so the can easily recall them. Thanks again!

🔥🔥🔥

[@alexc2680]

Loved this video and you've helped me grow so much as a guitar player and musician!! That Blue guitar with the maple neck looks Awesome!! I was looking at the ML1 hybrid and was curious if the neck is like a strat modern c or thicker? With left hand issues, I find thicker necks cause some pain but a thinner neck is better. Keep it up brother😎

[@RobChappers]

That really means a lot dude thank you so much, by the way the neck on most of our Guitars is a modern C-shaped, we do have a few exceptions like Pete’s new signature 🤘🏽

[@Spiritbro77]

Thanks for the lesson! I got some of it lol Sad that I used to know a lot of this for piano when I was a kid but forgot it all. I wanted to play guitar and did not dig the piano. NOW I wish I remembered lol Knowing how to read music would be nice. Hope you are well man! If I had been allowed to take guitar instead of piano(the deal was 4 years of piano equals an electric guitar) I might have been a moderately good player. Oh, and instead of getting me the electric he got me an archtop acoustic lol. He ended my rock dreams for sure :)

[@RobChappers]

Acoustic guitars are still awesome, all of this can absolutely be applied to any instrument really, thanks for watching dude. :-)

[@Spiritbro77]

@@RobChappers True, but when I was 10 back in 1972 I wanted an electric not an acoustic with strings that felt like ropes lol

[@stoneysdead689]

Really cool scale and you're right- it seems so close to a major scale that it wouldn't really make much difference- until you play it over the right root. Then you hear the difference- this scale has a very uplifting, driven, soaring feel to it. Does Satriani use this a lot? Because it reminds me of his vibe. Also reminds me of Steve Stevens and his Top Gun theme. Great video Rob- well done.

[@gavendelrio9193]

Well shit! Thank you sir!

[@makinganoise6028]

When the dusty end is your amp! A good follow up would be showing da people snatches of solos that mix pentatonics and mixolydian, thinking wee Angus for a start, for straight rock playing, probably the most useful mode.

[@MrDalegray]

Thank you for the lesson Rob. I was wondering if you could share the setting on your Boss Katana. It sounds awesome. I just added the KATANA MK2 50 to my amp collection after hearing how much you love it and you was right. Its an awesome amplifier. Now to practice your scales.

[@RobChappers]

Hey dude, actually the video before is exactly about the settings of my Katana, so feel free to check that out. :-)

Hello friend!!! NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!! I CAN'T WAIT TO BINGE-WATCH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS! YOU MADE THINGS THAT I'VE STRUGGLED WITH FOR DECADES MAKE TOTAL SENSE IN MERE MINUTES!

Yes! Finally! Whoo.

[@D.Miller]

You've managed to quite clearly explain a particularly complicated named thing. Off topic I'd love to know- As the leader of a brand known for innovation and making advancements in guitar available for the masses. If you had to pick a desert island situation guitar, would it be a completely customised to your specification straight from the workshop or a vintage beast?

[@RobChappers]

Thanks man, for me it would be a Ghost Fret - Possibly with a P90 in the neck ❤️

[@D.Miller]

[@Cipscool]

Ever thought about making a high production guitar teaching course? Definitely had an “ah-ha!” Moment during this

[@RobChappers]

Hey buddy, actually I did that but it wasn’t particularly well received - people prefer the relaxed vibe I think also I’d rather enjoy writing music and performing than focus on teaching all the time that’s why I give it away for free on KZbin

[@j.t.cooper2963]

[@newhampshirenate]

An electronic drone note or repeating note pattern would've help explain this much better

Rob, what is that blue guitar in the background?

[@metalmick]

So, does the 5th note become the root?

[@adamscottv]

I've never seen that model of Yamaha before. What is it?

[@goatyachty1762]

So if you're in the key of C you can only play G mixolydian if it ends with a G? But if the song resolves on a G wouldn't that make it in the key of G. But then you play an A E G instead then play a g mixolydian lick? If you're in the key of A wouldn't you have to play E mixolydian? I wish if the song was in any key I could use any mode like if I'm in the key of B I wish I could just play f# mixolydian. It seems like modes only limit you more, if you can only use it in that Key and ending on that V chord

@@mckenu as far as I'm aware no. I've had about 10 different rgxs. All were 14 inch radius due to the tremelo

Maybe you should have played some mixolydian over a major backing track first, then over a drone backing track to show the difference.
