Nothing wrong with the Phrygian sound (b2) if used in the right place. It creates tension, has character. Like any spice it's all about the dose.

I agree with your modal system Although when adding chromatic information from the blues, relative diminished or combining scales You get sub sets and melodic patterns , they are not modes . For example if combine A Dorian b2 and A aeolian b5 you get the Jimmy page scale

Good point about tonal center how a scale is not a mode untill it is being played . The trajectory of your playing implies dorian though you started ionian . I noticed that about Skynyrd Whats your name" 2 chords A and G It starts on A major blues Then when it goes to G and g major scale is played, it creates a Dorian sound

For the beginner guitar student, I would recommend playing the Am chord with the 1st finger on the 9th fret using an “open A string” and the Em chord with the 1st finger on the 4th fret using an “open E string”. Am chord - ⑤ A(open) ④ C ③ E ② A Em chord - ⑥ E(open) ④ G ③ B ② E

[@orionvassi]

[@danhalen1967]

This is more position memorisation again!! Try this instead..The reason you are confused is because everyone just re-tells the same theoretical manifesto when it comes to modes INSTEAD of explaining it in a more pedestrian way so as to afford the performer the necessary insight to actually be useful. This is where I come in. First just forget (for now) the fact that D Dorian is the same notes as C Major. Forget this because you need to start thinking about modes as either major or minor sounds. Also note that I got this concept from the MI ‘Harmony and Theory’ textbook by Keith Wyatt & Carl Schroeder Page 90. From this perspective, you will be able to use them in the real world of playing stuff. In this case Dorian is actually a minor sound. So first you have to know the D minor scale sound and then apply the skills below to see that D Dorian is an altered minor scale that differs from D minor (aeolian) by one note (it has a #6). So isolate and memorize your aeolian minor scales and Ionian major scales and get to a mode via this way INSTEAD of thinking in terms of a position in a major scale. The breakout of the ‘major vs minor modes’ is below. It is easy to get a modal sound using this mindset.. Let’s consider the E Dorian scale for now.. Why do I not join the masses and explain how Dorian is this entity that is built from the 2nd note of the parent major scale and that you should play D major but start from the ‘E’ note? Because for one that is a tired and just idiotic way to think about modes. Secondly what does this actually do to your thought process as a soloist? Well for one, it knocks your thought process out of e minor tonality (which is where you are at sonically) and puts you into having to do a useless conversion process to d major. Why? It’s not d major anymore: it’s e Dorian. You don’t need to do that because more than likely your already using some form of e minor pentatonic and you just want to flavor up your solo with a new sound by adding a sharp 6. (So that’s a sharp 6 in e minor again!! This means ‘the sharp 6 would be C# because In E minor, the 6th is C). This means you have to know your minor scales!! FYI. For Dorian (since it is a ‘minor’ sound) it’s very closely associated to the minor scale of the same tonic (in this case… E). So playing modes is rather easy once you know your major an minor scales all over the neck because you can keep your mind on using the same scale patterns but altering one note in general; much easier than switching your focus from the tonic your in to a whole different scale. FIRST A FEW REQUIREMENTS ARE NECESSARY you have to memorize or have at your disposal a list of all the major and relative minor scales (ex. C major and A minor are the same scale, so do this for all keys) and know all the accidentals. This is very important You have to know what chords are found in the major scale. Just start with triads. So All major scales have the same chord formula: C Major is:: C major triad, D minor triad, E minor triad, F major triad, G major triad, A minor triad, B half diminished triad Next organize the modes in to two camps (major sounds and minor sounds). Now that you have memorized the major and minor scales, you will recognize all the modes as one of these major or minor scales just ordered differently.. this means for ex. D Dorian (note below that I have listed out the easy formulas to get a mode) has the same notes as C Major; just use the chords from C Major. THIS NEXT COMMENT IS THE MOTHERLOAD OF ALL INFORMATION I PRESENT. so in our D Dorian example, if you want to really hear that mode in context, you use the 4 and 5 chord from the major scale the mode is from (4 and 5 are the only places in the major scale that has back to back major triads and these two triads work in a magical way to really lay out the modal sound when you play these two triads over the mode tonic base note .. in this case for D Dorian it is really C Major (F Major and G major are the 4 and 5 chords. When you play a D base note over F major and G major, you get the D Dorian mode sound. Then you can play the D Dorian scale over those chord vamps. (This method of using 4 and 5 triads over the bass note of the mode works for all modes FYI). Best to try using the ‘A’ style chords from the CAGED chord system and play you bass note on the 5th or 6th string. HOW TO FIGURE OUT A MODE. A mode is effectively more of an “alternate major or minor sound”. This really opened the floodgates for me and is just more intuitive. I think you will likey…. ;). I hope it saves you a bunch of time and from a bunch of confusion MODES MADE EASY Basically you have major and minor sounds. Here is the breakout: Major sounds: Ionian Mixolydian Lydian Ionian major scale ←Again just memorize these.. then to get these other two major sounding mode scales use the formula against the major scale you already know. Basically each of the other two major sounding mode scales has one note that is different when compared to the major scale so you can apply your knowledge of the major scales on the fretboard and just change one note to play modal Lydian scale ← ionian scale with a #4 So if you have memorized the Dmajor scale, then to play D Lydian you raise the 4th scale note like this: D major: D E F# G A B C# D lydian: D E F# G# A B C# (So from the points above, you should be able to see that D Lydian is really the A major scale, so the 4 and 5 chords in A Major are D major and E major. Play these chords with a D in the bass to hear D Lydian and of course play D Lydian notes) Mixolydian scale ← ionian scale with flat7 D major: D E F# G A B C# D mixolydian: D E F# G A B C (D mixolydian is really G major and the 4 and 5 chords in G Major are C Major and D major, so play these chords over a D bass note to hear D mixolydian and of course play D mixolydian. Do this kind of analysis for any mode and it should become 2 nature after awhile). Now for minor sounds you have four basic scales: Aeolian Dorian Phrygian Locrian Aeolian / minor scale ← just memorize these as they are just all the major scales starting on the 6th scale degree so if you know the major scales just be able to recite what the 6th degree is and that is your minor scale plus you will have memorized another interval. So from the Dmajor example above, B is the 6th scale degree B aeolian ← also known as the ‘minor scale’ there is one minor scale for each major scale (look at a circle of 5ths diagram) B aeolian: B C# D E F# G A Dorian ← same as aeolian scale with #6 B Dorian: B C# D E F# G# A. ← you may notice that B Dorian and D Lydian have the same notes but just realize this fact: Dionian Edorian F#phrygian Glydian Amixolydian Baeolian C#locrian are all the same scales just starting from a different note in the Dmajor scale. So you should be able to work out that B Dorian and D Lydian are also from a same scale which is the A major scale. This will all make sense in time. The best thing to do right now is to memorize all the major scales and then know which minor scales come from each major scale and memorize them Phrygian ← same as aeolian scale with b2 B Phrygian: B C D E F# G A (So from the points above, you should be able to see that B Phrygian is G major so the 4 and 5 chords in G Major are C major and D major. Play these chords with a B in the bass to hear B Phrygian and of course play B Phrygian notes) Locrian ← same as aeolian scale with b2 and b5 B Locrian: B C D E F G A So assimilate the modes by what is different from what you already know about major and minor scales is the best way as once you can recall the major and minor scales (all 12), you should be able to use the known scale patterns and adjust for the one note difference rather easily (two for locrian). As well by far the most useful chord vamp is the 4 and 5 chord from the major scale that the mode is from. All these other chord/mode explanations I have seen are serious overkill in my opinion and hardly of use in a musical context. Start easy and then as you build your base up of modal knowledge, you can dive back in to some more complex chord/mode possibilities.. or most Likely… NOT. ;) Finally why do the 4 and 5 triads/chord work so well? Thru investigation you should see that the accidentals found on the 4 and 5 chords in any major scale really lay out the notes that make the mode(s) pop out (when you swap in different bass notes). So B Dorian, the note that makes that mode pop is the G#. The 4 chord from A Major is D major (D F# A). The 5 chord is E major (E G# A) so you can see hopefully that basically your implying B Dorian by vamping these two chords (when playing these chords over a B bass note) And this is why you will hear pop or rock songs using the 4 and 5 chords when you run across a modal song or section of a song.

[@doublek321]

First off, thank you for all of that effort! I really like "A mode is effectively more of an 'alternate major or minor sound'”. That is helpful! I understand most of what you wrote but have some questions. When you say "So B Dorian, the note that makes that mode pop is the G#." Isn't B Dorian really the A Ionian scale (which has C#, F#, G#)? Your formula says "Dorian means sharp the 6th". I know I have this wrong but that would make me think "F##". Or would the 6th be "the 6th of B"? But the B Major scale (Ionian) already had G# as the 6th. So that would make me think G# (which, again, I know is wrong).

You’re the man! I know people 8:17 who act like modes are a mystery or baloney… but I’m always like, “…you have to hear the difference between a dominant 7 #11 and a dominant 7#5 right? You have to hear you can’t play the same scale or arpeggio on those chords, right? I lot of guys say they don’t know modes but they know to play different notes over a vanilla major 7 versus a major 7 #11. I wish I had this video like 20 years ago because nobody explained the stuff properly to me even after taking music classes and lessons.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

C Ionian is the major scale. If you play it with #4 (F#) then it’s C Lydian; with b7 (Bb) then it’s C Mixolydian. With b3/b7, it’s Dorian; with b3/b6/b7, Aolian; with b2/b3/b6/b7, it’s Phrygian. - So 3 modes with a major 3rd, 3 modes with a minor 3rd, and now Locrian (b2/b3/b5/b6/b7) works over a Diminished chord (b5!). - Memorize those 7 formulas! Do the same for all the other “parent” scales. That’s how to learn modes, by formulas and all from the same starting note.

[@markinthemix6055]

Lots of opinions here. How much mileage can l get on thinking m…major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, and diminished? That considering a major key. Minor the same just starts different.

[@picksalot1]

When practicing Scales/Modes over multiple octaves, an issue arises that makes hearing the "character" of the Mode problematic. For example: Cdefgabc, Defgabcd, Efgabcde. Notice that each octave switched to the next higher Mode: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian. To avoid the problem this causes, start each new octave on the Root of the Mode: Cdefgabc, Cdefgabc, etc.

[@waynegram8907]

MARBIN, A mode is a scale or groups of notes in a KEY against a tonal center from a certain scale degree. You should do a lesson about Pentatonic Modes like Dorian Pentatonic, Lydian Pentatonic, Phrygian dominant pentatonic, Lydian Dominant Pentatonic and which VAMPS chord changes will work for each mode. This is used in Fusion Blues guitarist which is more useful in rock music.

Hey Marbin. I like how you presented a different approach to the modes by looking at the chords within C major and the CAGED system.

Modes of the harmonic minor are common, for example in Klezmer music, so the “whole step/half step” only rule is not really true. Unless you really don’t have any Klezmer music in the US, in which case that sucks. Also, modes of blues and pentatonic scales are used widely in improvisation, especially on guitar.

[@Artec619]

The problem is people not being able to distinguish between scales and modes. If Dorian or Ionian or Lydian were scales, they would have modes themselves, which would be paradoxical. The fact that they are 'shaped' like the scales you know doesn't mean they are scales. The scale is the 'thing' and the modes are the sounds the 'thing' takes when you hear it. Next time you hear someone talking about 'Mixolydian' or any other mode as a 'scale' run for your life

I just look at the top and bottom of each diatonic mode, and IIRC there are 3 pairs with identical top and bottom 3 intervals, not the same pairs for each end, but if you know them, you have 3 options where you can flip a mode on the fly. It only works if you start on the mode root note ascending or descending. Once you've played 6 notes of a diatonic mode, the octave notes and the 4 halftone notes, you've made the decision on which mode it is (or 5 notes for the modes where a root note is also a semitone note). AFAIK I was probably playing Ionian and Mixolydian and also Aeolian and Dorian interchangeably for years, thinking I was play just major and minor. It was more whatever fit, or sounded right at the time. Those 3 intervals also set the 'flavour' for the mode. Is it major, minor or 7th?

[@TimBoykinGuitar]

What he’s teaching is correct, and he explains it well. The modes, that is, the European “church modes,” are an application of a single seven note scale against seven different tonics or tonic cords. You play a C major scale against an F major chord, you *hear* F Lydian mode. It’s not a new “scale.” You’re still in C. It’s about perception of what is audible. I feel somewhat vindicated whenever I see a video of a teacher teaching what I’ve struggled to bring to students. They’ll have flashes where they *hear* the mode, but often they’re resistant to going into that wold of perception.

My humble opinion after donkeys years of playing guitar and NOT yet watching the video is- Ionian+aeolian are major and minor scales(same) which any half decent guitarist should know or how the---k will you work out what to play?! Dorian +mixolydian are super useful if you play blues/roots styles. they contain the dom 7+mi7 arpeggio notes so you can sound coherent not like a clown"wandering all over the neck at random" Learn 2 extended positions thats more than enough play the mode according to the chord you are playing that gives it the sound .no complaints in 30 years of playing. The other modes are of small importance unless you specifically want them to develop a sound like joe satriani or something......but there are tons of different scales that will give you different sounds.
