[@MananMehtaOfficial]

So well explained!👏

[@shiroandy]

Really nice video. Thanks for sharing!

[@tallbrun]

Great to see another vid coming in. Enjoying the course so far - challenging, but very rewarding! I was stuck with my technique for years and I can already see improvement following your tips and practice regime. Looking forward to more!

[@shanakaperera123]

Thank you very much. just love it!!!

[@madison7302]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@oluapaw]

Thank you! You made It easy!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks. That was what I aimed for!

[@lalanini4486]

I still have a short question. they meant in the video you have to learn scale 84 I understood it correctly? 84 scale and then there are other scalen..for example, blue scale..bebob scale so if you want to play jazz very well then you have to scale about 100 can this be true? I hope do you understood my question my english is not perfektly

[@miguelgutierrez5692]

Amazing video. I would like to see one for the sophisticated scales too...

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes. I'll add it to my list

[@KingOfErehwon]

For sure, this just saved me endless hours of confusing practice. Awesome!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

I’m glad to hear! I had the same revelation once I discovered this hack. 🎹🙃

[@MrFedemoral]

great lesson Gjermund!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks, Federico!

[@奚睿-c3s]

I was always confusing about modes until this video.... really thanks a lot, wonderful lesson!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Glad to hear! The modes is usually presented far more complicated.

[@dougnickerson]

I always wondered why it is necessary tolearn the 'formula' whole & half steps - for each mode, when they are all associated with one major scale or another. Mark Levines 'Jazz piano book,' explains the rational as 'avoid notes.' That is, if one is playing a phyrigian Scale on an E minor seventh chord , the f may be dissonant. I'm not saying you always must 'avoid' notes either. The viewpoint is that, if you are aware of the root of the mode you are playing on a particular harmony, you will be more aware of the sound that each note of the mode makes vis a vis the harmony. I play more your way , I tend to think of C Locrian as starting in C, and then using all the notes of Db Ionian after that. Great video.

[@ArgoBeats]

Great lesson, Sir! Thank you!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Glad you enjoy

[@Hannah-rd2il]

Have you taken down the Crack The ModeCode? I can't download it. Thank you.

[@drcool56]

Very good vid!! Thanks a lot! Modes are interesting on a cultural point of view but if you’re not a pro they can discourage you as well. Learning this way is much simpler with no harm to your progression 🙂

[@ernestofredrich8235]

a definitive gold lesson....

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed and got some value out of it!

[@tharindumadushantha9971]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Thank you for this lesson....."round midnight" one of my all time favorites

[@mfurman]

Very interesting (I bookmarked it) but unfortunately it only reinforced my apprehension about learning to play jazz and improvise. It is much easier to stay with classical repertoire and just follow the sheet music 😊 Playing jazz is to a great extent composing (and never writing it down). Jazz for me may remain to be just playing some transcriptions (mostly of Keith Jarrett)

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes, playing sheet music is different than playing jazz. In jazz there are so many concepts to grasp, but once you get it, it is both fun and fulfilling. 🎹😃

[@valeriekuhn3746]

Are you not making any more videos? Please do!!!!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes, I will. Just moved my studio and I’m currently creating courses... More YT vids coming as soon as I get the chance.

[@timgiageos4858]

Thanks so much for this tutorial 😍 !!! I am so glad I found it. I was so frustrated and ready to give up my journey with modes. I’m excited to apply all this knowledge to my studies of jazz music . What use is there for knowledge if it can’t be expressed. Thank you a 1000 times . You have presented a great gift to many aspiring pianists . What a brilliant mind you must have to have figured this out !!!!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks, Tim. I'm glad you found it to be of help. Personally, I never understood why my previous teachers did not use this approach, as it can save you for a lot of time and stress. Maybe they simply didn't discover this approach, so they're all forgiven 🎹😃

[@valeriekuhn3746]

I LOVED this lesson. Learned so much about modes; they are very hard for me. I don't think I am advanced enough to take your courses, but I sure love watching your lessons. PS: I didn't know you were Norwegian. My family is from Larvik, Norway, last name Christianson. So maybe we're cousins. Ha ha. Thanx again.

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Valerie Kuhn Thanls! Yer, maybe we’re cousins. I’m in Larvik frequently. A lovely place. Christianson, I don’t recognize that one 🤔 Who knows? At least we both love jazz, I guess!

[@amelielacerise]

wow thank you so so much this is revolutionary for me!!! I would just like to know how you figured this out ? For example, how do you know you have to play up a halfstep for Locrian and up a fifth for lydian ? Cause I would like to continue using this techique for other modes and chords if it could work (that you did not mention) YOU REALLY MADE MY WEEK

[@julicoole]

I need more videos from this channel I think it'll blow up

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Sounds dramatic :) More videos will come!

[@SuperDenon]

Well explained sir

[@afrehsikajoseph855]

Great

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks 🎹😃

[@marqnmphs]

This is Awesome. Been looking for a minute for someone to explain in a practical way how to use the modes in everyday situations. The best explanation I've seen. Kudos.

[@lalanini4486]

thank you master😊 I still have a short question. they meant in the video you have to learn scale 84 I understood it correctly? 84 scale and then there are other scalen..for example, blue scale..bebob scale so if you want to play jazz very well then you have to scale about 100 can this be true?

[@shiggisos1411]

finally someone whos is a think alike ... ive been thinking the same way about modes

[@fimamusic7888]

I understood that,in 1970,when i bought a Warren Nunes jazz book,wich explained how to use CENTRAL or CENTER TONES..(sorry about my English😊)

[@snovoman]

I can't download the music? Javascript N/A. ? A great consolidated lesson, however, I like the song selection as well.

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

It might be that you have some sort of blocker in your browser. It works fine here and we haven't heard any complaints.

[@shaunbyrne1197]

I use my own mnemonic based on each degree of the C major scale. "I Don't Play Lydian Music Any Longer". i.e Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian.

[@alvaromorenoacosta1518]

[@mergeband]

Think of major scale the opposite way (decending) using the whole- half method. Then you will realize its all phrygian.

[@keithlydiate5933]

Great lesson, but the download link is empty.

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks for your comment. Will you please try again? I just tested and everything seems to work just fine.

[@keithlydiate5933]

Quick reply, thanks. Just tried again - same result - the link location just shows "javascript://" , I'm using firefox and chrome [Windows10]. @@Gjermund-Sivertsen

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

@@keithlydiate5933 That was strange. Do you mind sending us some screenshots to [e-mail] so we can investigate?

[@keithlydiate5933]

Still can't get it to load using firefox, but it does load using Chrome. It's the pop-up window that doesn't show in FF. Probably due to some setting on my PC. I've sent the link using Chrome and I've already got the reply. This saves me months of work I would never have completed. My previous method was to memorise the "shape" of the mode/scale and superimpose it on the diatonic scale - A two-stage process which my brain treats very slowly. Many thanks.@@Gjermund-Sivertsen

[@rudyvasquez9343]

"I dont like the word mode, I try to avoid saying the word mode" lol as said in a previous lesson. Just giving you a hard time, and a cheap laugh. Sorry, you're great!

[@williewilliams8612]

What's the freaking scale
