OK, so what I just watched was what I’ve been interested in for a few years now…Modes! How you began your lesson by restricting to two notes per string forces the player to find the correct notes in other areas on the neck. Unfortunately I’m away from my guitars for a while so I can’t try your methods. Anyway long story short this lesson is Outstanding! Thanks!!! PS: where do I find the information on playing each mode? “I Do Prefer Lydia Mix Ales Locally” is my Nemonic Device for remembering the names and order of the modes!

Solid gold, thank you! I recently have been playing with starting the modes on their corresponding scale degrees in order to understand and keep the order of W and H steps. In other words, if the major scale (Ionian)is counted 1-2-34-5-6-71 does it stand to reason that the Dorian could be counted 2-34-5-6-71-2, the Phrygian 34-5-6-71-2-3…etc, just moving the starting point down the count in order to keep the W/H step formula. Crazy?

I like to keep my comments positive (so hopefully these will fall under appreciative and constructive). I really like that someone like you is out there teaching the structure of music (that is valuable). My concern is that I want so badly to enjoy these lessons due to my respect for what you are doing but each time it falls short. I was thinking this would be different from prior time and I was cruising along on the major scale from the D string and learning about how the degrees are useful rather than the static pattern But... then per normal it went from a very positive learning moment to things speeding up and adding complexity in a major quick way = feeling like a University Chemistry exam on the Grateful Dead (and I like the Dead by the way but am nowhere near that skill set). Just a feeling from one older learner who really wants to learn and practice but feels information should trickle not firehose.
@curiousguitarist4 ай бұрын
You should take what you can and know the rest is waiting down stream. The concept is the important part here. I have to demo a range of application to try and reach a large-ish number of people, but I always start out as simple as I can. Stick with the concept, reduce it to the smallest example you can really see and play. Then expand later. No need to swallow it all. Thanks for the comment and feedback! I appreciate it.

@@curiousguitaristin my experience the way to learn is to combine a new discovery, a new piece of learning with a new question, kind of like taking another step on the journey. If a lesson left you with no sense of direction for the next step it wouldn’t be as useful. I think you do this well Chris.

Yeah, take it slow. Scales are confusing, so stick with what stuck initially, and don't overreach. All that info will still be here when your brain is ready. Same EXACT thing happened to me as well. All is normal... SNAFU :D
