Guitar Lesson 7 "The Locrian Mode"

[@musichermit]

i really believe that this isn't the best way to learn and appreciate the full tonal possibilities of modes. the way he's putting it, its the same notes arranged in a different order. each mode has its own unique flavour and colour, and the only way, in my humble opinion, to fully appreciate that is to learn the note arrangments (b2, #4, etc...) for every mode in the SAME KEY...that way you can hear the difference between the modes and learn them by association rather than routine patterns

This is so simple and so good. Thumbs up right away for the silverburst.

[@rrguitar1]

You are good instructor !! Well explained and made easy to understand. Thank you very much!!!

[@PsychosisGnome]

Playing from B using the notes of G major will give you the Phrygian mode. Think of it like this. If you use the notes of C major, the Locrian mode will start and end on B. If you use the notes of D major, the Locrian mode of that key will begin and end on C#. In A major, the Locrian begins and ends on G#. Hope that helps a little.

"nyahaha" - thats good. I like it much better than "muhaha" which I was using. You've revitalized my practise as a super villain. Thanks man (Im kind of a relaxed type of villain but I do have long term goals)

[@nategrady]

you are amazing Sir Robert thanks you for the tips

[@Swybryd-Nation]

@Ollievarium well if you were to build the family of chords in C major starting on each scale note C D E F G A B by stacking thirds (skipping a note) then you would have: Cmajor 7 = C E G B Dminor7 = D F A C Eminor7 = EGBD Fmajor7=FACE G7= G B D F Amin7 = A C E G Bm7b5 = B D F A look at the intervals: B to D gives a minor 3rd (hence minor) B to F gives a b5 interval B to A gives a min7 put it all together then you get B m7b5 Hoped that helped some

Theres a lot of old comments on here, but you guys make me laugh, the guy is giving a great insight into the modes both musically, if your interested and position wise, if you just want patterns. And all you get is negative comments..LOL, I can understand searching the internet for usful info like this, but spending hours searching and then making nosense comments....heys guys spend more time practicing, or release your own videos

[@mattlocked]

Incredible lessons, you're an incredible teacher. And what to say about your awesome assortment of les pauls, I envy you sooooo much :|

[@ESP4thaWin]

I love this guy

[@juliouus]

Mode major G = You Rock!!!

[@SilverHamer]

Yngwie WHO??? Bob you RAWK! Thanks again for sharing your wisdom and insights! LC

[@kdense08]

I understand how to use some of the modes but how/ when do I use the dorian and locrian modes? I know I can go by the chord progression but do you know another way?

[@lkeller1000]

You probably thought you were playing phrygian because Locrain and phrygian are the exact same pattern except for one note. For instance in the key of F# like in this video, C is the note that distinguishes Locrian from Phrygian. If he was playing Phrygian it would be C# instead. No matter what key you're in, all you have to do in order to change phrygian into Locrain is flat the 5th degree.

[@444Hatter444]

loving how he rushes the met...

[@spoddie]

I agree but I also think harmony is important. These notes need more context than just the beat.

[@joeyrotten101]

@tunglour basically hes using the e minor scale but using f sharp for his root note...

[@reneotten2288]

You should have fixed that at 2m39s! But thanks for the great lesson, I'm gonna practice this. Should this be played over a G major chord?

[@spoddie]

Unfortunately this is the technique that solo guitar heroes use. It's like early monophonic church music. I never understood all these modes, just start a major on another note, until I realised that a song I wrote was in Dorian mode. It's harmony that makes modes.

[@virtuosity7]

i agree rozar he is just basicly giveing you a speed exercise. he doesnt cover the theory which is what you really need to know.

[@Spimp4]

@lkeller1000 shud have used C cus it's easier.

[@NickfromHighTide]

nice silverburst!!

[@blackdude57]

@shredidiah and to remember you still have to learn how to use that f..ng stack behind him hahaha

[@spoddie]

that's right, he's now playing B Phrygian

[@AceBambam]

nyahaha I sometimes use ahihihi , hahaha mind if I add you man?

[@SmilingLeaf]

there isnt anything wrong with distorted tones in lessons. he didnt have to use it, he probably just wanted to.

[@blackdude57]

@shredidiah thats a fucking truth man hahahaha

[@MikeToddOnline]

@MrPeroj FUCK yes! Not sure why he took the pickguard off but it is SICK!

[@ozzy9691]

yea...it has the same key signature but its not the same key

[@AceBambam]

ohh so is the scale I i've been practicing, I thought I was playing phrygian , but it was locrian nyahaha

[@Adamshredsify]

I clicked beacause i thought you we're guthrie govan

[@jemjoesatch]

my fingers burn try it on the 2nd big stretches but pain = gain gggrrrrr

[@EquinoxParadox91]

@Adamshredsify I did the same.

[@kwonbin7]

he looks like kirk hammeet

[@johannardox]

Dimbag Darrel scale....

[@charlielast]

Thank you Sir. Most Helpful. ( How the Fuck do you put up with all the bullshit comments! :).....

[@ThaGearOfWar]

Maybe it's not all his.

[@goodbassfishin]

lessonn--i like. tone--i barf.

[@GriffRadford]

These have to be the worst mode lesosns ever, He's not even playing modally.

[@iamsethperez]

i HATE how he slides down the neck after each note. i hate it.
