[@barrycooper1631]

Joe Pass knew nothing about modes!

[@Nikosi9]

@barrycooper1631 I doubt if any of the greats before Miles and Bill Evans knew about them. I'm willing to bet even Coltrane was thinking D min to Eb min during So What. To me modes are pushed by academicians in jazz music schools.

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Not true even Edward they know the Note sequence. Modes are for Newbies US LOL😮

[@linnem3]

9:45 😅😅😅 12:17 12:25 😊

[@drbeef5054]

Shoulda checked comments first lol, replayed that part a few times trying to see if I missed something about a flat 7th in the Lydian scale

[@Dave-nm3xc]

You are the best teacher on YT. You are the first person to teach this in a way that I understand.

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks! It's much appreciated!

[@soundmastercd]

​@@SamjamguitarI agree! YOUR ABILITY TO EXPLAIN IS AMAZING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@Samjamguitar]

Cheers!

[@guitarbass95]

In a chaotic pool of extremely unhelpful, bloated, "15 tips to confuse you even more" guitar lesson youtube, these videos are the clearest and most helpful I've found in 18 years of playing.

[@Samjamguitar]

Brilliant! Always Great to get comments like this!

[@IScreamedWolf]

Dude yes. I’ve been playing around 16 years, fully self taught using KZbin and holy hell I’ve seen some awful videos lmao. So happy channels like this exist

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks!

[@Peterpumpkineater-ry8on]

Same here. Love this guys videos so much

[@Linosnz]

This is it fam. I NEVER comment on videos. But this here video is IT. THANK YOU!

[@Samjamguitar]

Thank you!! It's very much appreciated 👌

[@melvinschrute9617]

Unbelievable clarity. I've tried to really dive deeper into guitar theory for so many years but have only found myself confused and frustrated after struggling to understand. This video helped me tremendously and I feel like I'm finally breaking through that wall of comprehension. Thanks so much! I look forward to watching more of your stuff! right here

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad to help!

[@bickleyjonas6145]

I mess with the scale for a little bit then just break out into random iconic riffs that I know.

[@AbductedByRobloxians]

This has been the most valuable lesson I've ever learned on the guitar! I always struggled with modes, and the reason was that I was too stubborn to learn all the notes, intervals, and the major scale. Now that I understand how to change the intervals, it feels so much easier. I used to downvote this video because I was frustrated with my lack of understanding, but that has completely changed. As a self-taught guitarist, it’s been challenging to know what to learn first. After years of searching, I’m finally making progress!

[@craigewinger7663]

There is a ton of content in this video. I am learning a lot from it. I had some knowledge of the modes from other videos and guitar books in theory but I have never played them except for Ionian (major) and Aeolian (minor). I will watch this video a few more times to digest all the content. This is a great video. Craig Ewinger

[@Samjamguitar]

Fantastic Craig! You are really having a Samjam binge session!!

[@notmyfirstrodeo619]

no joke, best video ive seen explaining modes. I have watched soooo many vids before this one and never fully understood and when i thought i understood, i really did not. Thank you so much for this. it finally clicks!

[@Samjamguitar]

Wow, thanks!

[@chrisbraithwaite6025]

What an incredible video. Like other people say, modes have never fully made sense - until now! The best explanation I’ve seen, thanks for uploading such a great tutorial.

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks! Glad that it is resonating with everyone👍

[@RobMcCreery]

Adding to the chorus here: A brilliantly simple explanation of modes, clearly presented. I've learned a great deal from this video, both as a guitar player and as a (maths) teacher. What you say, how you say it, and how you impart the knowledge in sensible steps are very much appreciated. For years, I've gotten the impression that real knowledge of modal music was the province of a secret society: simple to describe, maddeningly hard to understand... and those who knew couldn't - or wouldn't - explain it in a way that made it accessible or useful. Well done, and thank you!

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks for the kind words Rob! It's nice to know that my videos are helping people make breakthroughs with often overcomplicated topics! Feel free to check out my other videos too!

[@arodgoogle6327]

Dang!!! After years of playing guitar no one ever shared with me what you just taught. Thank you so much for the video. Happy, happy, happy!!!

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad to hear it! You can always learn something new!

[@ericrankin4165]

I have realized something watching this video… I am chronic noodler. Time to change that. This video is superb and makes so much sense where others are so convoluted. Absolutely subbing to this channel!

[@Samjamguitar]

Fantastic!!!

[@Earthmover511]

Thank you for the video! Very thought provoking! Its helpful for my brain to stay on a particular root note while moving the scale around for every mode.

[@johnchigounis969]

Major: Ionian Lydian #4 Mixolydian b7 Minor: Dorian #6 Phrygian b2 Aeolian Lociran b2+b5

[@M5guitar1]

That is a much better explanation using sharps and flats instead of using patterns.

[@bernietmusic]

Very nice lesson and explanation! Thank you! Im 61 and been playing since i was 12. 2 years ago I stumbled upon a different you tube modal lesson that explained what you call the relative approach. It blew my mind and opened up a whole new approach and world to my lead playing and improvising. I was able to apply major scale patterns I already was comfortable with in a different way! I knew bits and pieces of mixolodian shapes and minor scales prior. Added them to pentatonics forca little spice but it was still very limiting. Exploring the relative approach has helped me grow so much the last few years. Having to think backwards is sometimes confusing and I can certainly see the advantages to the parallel approach. I will have to start working on that now. The good information available is really really helpful. Prior attempts to get anywhere with modes did not sit well with me. Im finally getting somewhere....Thanks much!

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad to hear the lesson helped! If you already have a grasp on the relative approach then you have a great headstart in taking on the parallel approach! Let me know how it goes👍👍👍

[@stereodevil704]

I learned from training people on various things in life that if they don't get then you want to try teaching it differently because most problems have several ways to reach a solution. This video really helped me because it had a different way to approach modes that made sense. Thanks for making the video!

[@Samjamguitar]

No probs 👌

[@JamesVytas]

Great video. I needed this overall picture for guitar. Most tutorials only focus on relative to ground the concept but the second concept was integral to understanding where I need to end up.

[@Samjamguitar]

Awesome, thank you!

[@eric9000k]

I've been watching your videos all evening. Now this one I have to comment but they are all equally profound. Really impressed by all of your lessons. I can't say enough. This is the best description available, it's the best way to teach modes, you did in fifteen minutes, it's perfect.

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks! It's much appreciated!! Feel free to share it around!!

[@damianrf6309]

Thank you SO much! To me, your summary of the Parallel Approach FINALLY made sense of the practicalities of playing in modes to me. Now I can finally understand Rick Beato. You deserve as many subscribers as he has!

[@Samjamguitar]

Excellent!

[@EpitomeOfHope]

After 6 years modes actually make sense now......

[@Samjamguitar]

glad to hear it!

[@bobmortimerisweird]

I believe music theory is only confusing to me because in music theory one thing has like 5 different names. It makes sense when you learn why, but from an outsider's perspective it's just meaningless jargon. I need to sit down and write everything out, cross out the redundancies, and learn how stuff works.

[@cycomiko73]

Oh great!! Lol I can't wait to tackle theory and modes 😑 I've only been playing for about 35 years maybe it's time??

[@bobcat3653]

35 years here lol 😮😂

[@HunterPrince-n5u]

So I have 3 more years of brain hurting

[@AlexerSalmon]

Bing watching these videos like there is no tomorrow. This is the best info in music theory for guitar. Connect it with the 5 forms of major scale for easy gains ;)

[@Samjamguitar]

Cool, thanks!

[@bryonguernsey9794]

Dear Mr. Sam, your dry yet darkly, comedic, instructional video on modes has finally clarified what has been so mysterious to me for so long. Linking the modes to the harmonic context in which they are effectively played was an important feature of understanding how modes work. That particular insight has been so conspicuously absent from so many other “mode tutorials”. Thank you for posting this illuminating video . Damn the neighbors ! Sam jam rocks !!!

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks! Glad to hear it!

[@4WDmarshmallow]

This is the single greatest explanation of modes I've ever seen, heard or read. After playing guitar for 40 years.....THANK YOU!

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching 👌

[@gochrisfoley]

[@Samjamguitar]

Cheers for the SUPERTHANKS!! It's very much appreciated!

[@danbromberg]

Between the graphics, dialogue, and just the right touch of humor, this is by far the very best description of MODES I've ever heard. Kudos to SamJam!

[@Samjamguitar]

Thank-you very much! Glad to hear it's appreciated!

[@clintonmansfield6364]

I have to agree with the other comments. This is excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. I was searching for a path to improve my understanding of the modes and no other video has done it this well. Very simple and concise with great visualization. Thank you!

[@Samjamguitar]

Fantastic!! Great to hear that this is helping people out👍

[@carlsalazar4490]

You did it. You cracked the code of modes for me. I’ve struggled to understand the concept of modes, but once you look at modes as major and minor, it became perfectly clear. Your production skills are top notch. I can’t thank you enough for furthering my understanding of the guitar. The best of luck. Cheers from California.

[@got2rock4]

I've been teaching guitar for off and on for 30 years and this the best explanation of the modes I've seen yet as I used to learn patterns from books but ended up noodling and couldn't use them with confidence this an excellent source for understanding and practicing the modes but however I found the Locrian quite useful in classical to build tension then resolve to the Aeolian. Awesome video 🔥🎸🔥

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks! It's much appreciated 👌

[@ourclarioncall]

Brilliant video . Well articulated and compared. Great editing. The relative method in my opinion is best to learn once the parallel method has been understood and practiced well first. The relative method on its own and taught first I think is what throws a stumbling block at the feet of many a guitarist and leaves them confused , frustrated, and near paralysed. Trying to improve because very slow and clunky. Best just to think of the modes as scales that are totally unrelated . Practice them all in the same Key. Harmonise them to get their chords and make lots of modal chord progressions to improvise over. It sounds hard but it’s incredibly simple to do.

[@RobMcCreery]

Thanks

[@Samjamguitar]

Thank-you for the SUPERTHANKS Rob!! it's very much appreciated!!!

[@richardsouthern4248]

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks! It's really appreciated!

[@edinvaj]

Good video but I guess I have noticed a wrong note at 11:49 and Lydian scale. There should be only #4. b7 is wrong and it should be only 7. In the end of day this is the best video of all I have seen on the KZbin helping me to understand the modes. Big thank you.

[@Samjamguitar]

Yes! That was a graphical typo! Well spotted👌

[@daveatsixsixsix]

Great explanation. I think it should also be noted that the chords are constructed by using the root, third and fifth of the corresponding modes. This explains why the chords are major, minor and diminished. For example B Dorian- Root B, the 3rd is a minor 3rd, D and the 5th is F#. This is a B minor triad. This makes the video explanation even more clear.

[@drpeterlejkowski]

Quite honestly, it is the best lesson in modes I have ever seen. Thank you for this.

[@Samjamguitar]

Much appreciated!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kurtbjem777]

Yo man....finally I get it!! I've been trying to understand the modes for sooooo long. This put it in perspective! THANK YOU. Very well explained and maybe now the stuff I've been hearing in my head I can translate to my fretboard.

As someone who grew up learning modes on guitar I am happy with this explanation more than other youtube explanations to be honest and respectful. There are so many forms to play all of these modes so there is a breakthrough that will happen that is worth it for guitar playing . Especially if you are a visual player seeing mostly where you can go all over the neck. Cheers 🫡👽 keep jammin

I’ve been playing guitar for ever but never really got into the modes . I always liked the sound of melodic minor used a lot in Yngwie malmsteens work . I’ve played a bit with that and also like the Lydian tones of Satriani and vai . But now at age 51 I really want to understand this stuff and the reasoning behind it all . This video made a lot of sense as it went . Thankyou .

[@Bill-yr2go]

If you know your major scale shapes and are able to move it to other keys, you can improvise over any mode emphasized progression. Over an E Prygian riff for example, all you need is C Major. Your ear will guide you to the tonic. When I learned this my improvising improved 100%

[@StephenHoward-k2q]

[@Noobieguitarist3322]

My head aches after the video but I think I learned so many important infos about modes. I need to rewatch this again and again and practice every chance I get. I hope to truly understand this soon. I've been playing the guitar for more than 5 years and I still consider myself at a level between beginner and intermediate 😢

[@Samjamguitar]

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks!! Feel free to browse my other videos and share around to wake up the KZbin algorithm👌👌👌

[@richardcaulker1017]

A guitarist friend of mine told me about modes for the 1st time 7 years ago. Luckily, he had shown me the previous day how to play the C major scale using its 3 major chords, 3 minor chords, and 1 diminished chord, so after practicing modes for a few days it suddenly dawned on me that I was hearing sounds that seemed to correspond with the chords in the scale of C major that I had recently learned. When I asked my friend if the modes were based on those chords, he thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes." After that, I started to watch KZbin videos about modes to learn more, but all of them had me so baffled within the first few minutes that I wondered how anybody could understand them. (Sometimes, I even wondered whether my understanding from my friend's teaching was right.) This is the first video I've seen that relates modes to their corresponding chords in scales, so I can understand why other viewers are experiencing genuine Eureka! moments here. Even I am relieved, and I've known about it for 7 years! What baffles me now is how could something so simple be overlooked by so many teachers for so long?

[@ralphmuller6040]

[@Samjamguitar]

Cheers👌

[@matthewaltomare7629]

Thanks, another simple, to the point video. Another thing that seems to work for me is connecting the 5 pentatonic positions to a scale mode and add in the 2 missing notes. Major P1 Ionian, P2 Dorian, P3 Lydian, P4 MixoLydian and P5 Aeolian, back to P1. Phrygian and Lokrian don’t fit in, but I don’t miss them.

[@Samjamguitar]

Good method!

[@ourclarioncall]

This is why I think it’s better to learn modes first before pentatonics You get the bigger picture. Many people don’t know there is a minor pentatonic skeleton hiding inside Aeolian for example Begin teaching Aeolian then once that’s ingrained then develop the pentatonic .

[@ourclarioncall]

Yes it can be head scratcher think , why are there 7 mode shapes but only 5 pentatonics ? It’s because Phrygian and Lydian are almost identical and overlap . Remember the 3rd and 4th intervals are right next to each other a semitone apart . Same with locrian and Ionian , they are almost identical and a semitone apart

[@1959viko]

good explanation. but, in the parallel method, even you said that there is no need to compare to the mayor scale, all the characteristics are to the mayor scale. for example in the natural minor scale all the flats there are compared to the major scale anyway. and so on. all the music language was built compared to the major scale.

[@Samjamguitar]

True; however, for the parallel method, starting with a natural minor scale for minor modes and a major scale for major modes will mean that you have fewer intervals to adjust to arrive at each mode, making this a far easier way to get going.

[@1959viko]

@@Samjamguitarit would be interesting to re build all the structures compared to another scale and see which is easier to learn.

[@dominicbarravecchio2723]

Best explanation ever! I know the 2 methods but could never articulate it like this nor explain why I saw it this way...This might be my light bulb moment. Finally, something to work on that makes sense

Great lesson short and to the point 👍 helps me understand.

[@Samjamguitar]

Awesome, thank you!

[@delinquense]

11:51 why does the Lydian mode show both a sharpened 4th and a flattened 7th? I thought this slide was to show the difference between the major scale and these modes? I.e. one note difference when comparing modes derived from the major scale

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mobeus84]

It's all very easy I think what is confusing for a lot of people is because when you practice these modes you don't get the full understanding unless you're playing them over the chords that correspond with each mode the best way I tell people about modes a scale is a scale but a mode becomes a mode when it's played over other chords so if you're just at home by yourself on a guitar you're not really going to hear much differences than tonality but when you're playing along with that corresponding cord you start to hear the notes that are important
