[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

For Irish music try using the Mick O'Lydian scale.

[@jcoriha]

just the Regular Lydian. Major scale with the most "evil" note the tritone. Doesn't get more melancholy than that!

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

Ray Manzarek obviously played Doorian scales. 😎

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

Marcus! I thought that I had a bad sense of humour, but I honestly believe that you have beaten me with that one. My only hope is to harp on about the Aolian and Ionian modes.

[@YatiAcharya]

Mick's O'Lydian scale 🤣

[@richardv.582]

🤣

[@jcoriha]

"Mayonaise" by the Smashing Pumpkins is my favorite example of B (Bb really) Mixolydian. Super melodic and fits the emotions of the lyrics perfectly.

[@jcoriha]

Great Big Muff/Distortion II/Phase 100 tone too

[@josephmann6675]

This was a fun lesson. I wanted to “thumbs up” the vid half a dozen times. It’s great having this level of conversation about music.

[@thomasmcgill6918]

Great video. Great seeing you showing more of your cool guitar playing.

[@Kobayashhi]

Rick rules! Jeff Beck is a mixolydian player as well, fantastic lines on blow by blow.

[@semajdis]

3:10 - It is amazing how close "What's that say? I don't have my glasses on" face is to "full on shred" face. Keep up the good work, Mr. Beato. One of the few consistently great channels on YT right now.

[@murrayrowley2900]

I have wandered in and out of this kind of Blues/Mixo passing tones mashup a lot over the years, also throwing in a little Blues/Dorian mashup as well.

[@JesterMasque]

“ ‘Can you turn some gain off?’ No.” NEVER CHANGE, RICK!

[@ericstrauch3215]

Rick, THANK YOU for finally explaining mixolydian and it's use in a an easy to understand way! With a story from your "childhood", I've learned more about mixolydian than from any book! THANK YOU, again.

[@ZenDriveSeven]

This lesson is immensely helpful!! Thanks so much, Rick!

[@theaviary238]

Rick is awesome. The haters are pathetic. Rick you are a talent, a teacher, and have contributed so much to the world of music. We love you. Keep it up.

[@thomasmcgill6918]

Meta, you are absolutely correct.

[@bryanlettow4389]

There's people that don't like Rick??

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

Tom Wadsworth I would have gone with assholes... but hey who cares!!

[@theaviary238]

Just your basic internet trolls. They are not even real haters. Just a couple trolls who like to try and ruin our good time. Love to you all :-)

[@ericgamliel8500]

I like these jam-style lessons. I just jam right along, pause it, repeat.

[@theshredguitarist25]

Such an amazing lesson!!!! Thank you so much for this!

[@Auto_Funk]

Great vid, really helpful... I've always struggled with improvising and phrasing in major modes/major pentatonic...

[@Flamencoide]

Incredible, thank you!!

[@karantaktawala86]

This video is the reason I managed to break out of that standard pentatonic box. Thank you Rick

[@briancarpenter3040]

I really like this program. 🤙🏻

[@theaviary238]

"Can you turn the gain off?" Ha ha ha "No". You rock Rick!

[@HINRG14]

lolz. Yea, no, not gonna turn it off. No. Never.

[@andyzar1177]

You the man amigo!

[@susanclark6437]

Your review of How to use these scales is beyond just knowing what they are. I had no difficulty with playing by ear or singing. Except for a few songs. Then I was told that rock songs are often modal...not just in major/ minor keys.

[@stevehanson5556]

Thank you Rick super lesson!

[@pdxfun4888]

Those are crazy liks. Thats a scale sound I was always wondered while hearing tasty bluesy guitarists. THANK YOU

[@richardgallo3155]

Great story man! Love it 👍

[@pablocacaster]

Who complains about gain in a rock video??

[@GnomeChomsky9999]

Posers.

[@HammerGruvin1]

I am Mr. 777 like on this video... that's me... You're the heavyweight champion of KZbin guitar teachers...Your knowledgeable is unsurpassed and your guitar playing backs it up like nobody's business...You are the absolute best!

[@argerm57]

My mom was from Fairport, NY, lived on Frank St. I crossed that exact bridge many times growing up while visiting my mom's family. He kept giving clues about where he was from - upstate NY, Erie Canal, lift bridge. I thought, "What are the odds he's from Fairport?" I laughed when he finally said the name of the town. What a small world!

[@tomneily9506]

Rick thanx great lesson best teacher on internet

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

The sound of this scale reminds me of the intro from Long Distance Runaround by Yes or a solo that I would hear from a jam band like like the Grateful Dead.

[@icecreaminc8013]

famous mixolydian songs off the top of my head... You really got me - the kinks, Thunderstruck - AC/DC

[@JJFrostMusic]

Where do you hear mixolydian on you really got me?

[@johnnyrandom100]

you know Rick, I just keep shutting my eyes and listening.

[@ZenDriveSeven]

I took it as he was defending Rick. It’s an old saying and it was directed at the previous commenter.

[@mgscheue]

ZenDriveSeven Yes, definitely.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

Demonstrates how easily miscommunication can occur.

[@Dorian2ification]

Cool. Pete here. You called me by my first name 5 days ago and I'm just watching for the first time now. Your amazing! Love your channel Rick.

[@jruzich43]

Jerry Garcia; master of the Mixolydian scale.

[@chrisfarrugia5397]

The lift bridge story is just awesome ;)

[@tcmengg]

OMG u r such a great musician

[@THEItchybruddah]

I've always used the "dorian from the 5th" thing. Get's me to color tones quicker. (GREAT Lines by the way!)

[@Funkrocker81]

Hey Rick, it would be great if you use your freeze pedal or a looper for such demonstrations to hear your great examples better against the chord or progression. I thought that already during your recent arpeggios video... Did you already made a video on how to incorporate chromatics in pop/rock solos? Greets and keep rocking.

[@geraldbasso1782]

Great lesson Rick! Yeah I grew up in the 70's before the social media and you tube tutorials, but I did have my brother who had been playing guitar long before I picked up the instrument. He showed me the basics and I took it from there. I had to rely on other people who played guitar to learn stuff from and the radio of course. Great story too that you shared!

[@TyDie85]

...yea actually he was not only defending you, but he was just saying a common rock line, like "if it's too loud, you're too old". Dang, man lol. I feel sorry for that guy.

[@ahmedrashed78]

Ban a poor guy for telling him he's old, lol what an idiot

[@stricknine8623]

@@ahmedrashed78 One guy says can you turn the gain down,...Rick says NO....someone else says,..If you think there's too much gain, you're too old. No one called Rick "too old"

[@artofsoundcc]

Nice! Suggestion for topic or WMTSG - "Don't Want You No More/It's Not My Cross to Bear" Allmans. Also Little Feat, maybe "Oh, Atlanta" or "Willin'".

[@lewsheen7514]

Rick - I'm really impressed by your facility on both guitar and keyboards (piano). Do you consider one of those your "main" instrument? Or to put it another way: In your youth, did you start playing guitar or keys first?

[@bernifitzsimmons176]

*winces at screen* "Can I turn some gain off? No, I can't" *shreds*

[@sususegar]

I was watching an episode of Rick & Morty, now I'm seeing this Rick. Just thought of pointing that out, found the resemblance rather funny! Especially the hair colour and style.

[@deflowers5230]

At 6 minutes: Tom Sawyer. Also, love that Rick will let the judges review the tape regarding the ban.

[@andyzar1177]

The solo from Cult of Personality right?

[@paristhalheimer]

Some of that sounded very Clapon like and at one point I kind of heard some Alex Lifeson Rush in there.

[@nelsonvontitfuk1471]

Its unfortunate the amount of people who just spam the live chat trying to get 10 seconds of attention from rick. it ruins it for people who are trying to actually ask questions and learn

[@KneedleKnees]

Do you know any specific modes that Andy Summers has soloed in, either in the Police or in his jazz fusion work? I'm super new to music theory so I can't name the things I hear yet.

[@jiminut]

I think your gain is just right :D

[@pringelsthegamefreak]

Mixolydian mode sounds awesome

[@kodowdus]

I'm wondering if the use of "blue notes" could be considered the equivalent of using a special mode that's somewhere between mixolydian and dorian...

[@L.A.W.Studios]

Ah yes.. The great Minor Pentamixoblulydian scale..lol Killer Video!

[@Tallguymark]

It's funny how that actually explains the sound of this scale very well .lmao

[@gforsyth4]

The “You Get Banned! How about that?!” was amazing!

[@caftech8301]

Saw you today at NAMM 😎

[@JohnJones-ep7of]

Sounds like a Joe Walsh solo ,really cool !

[@danielbarker3459]

Isn't mixolydian the Reb Beach scale? If so, Reb makes it sound amazing with the string changing tapping.

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Heading for a Heartbreak solo, yes!

[@TrueGritProductions]

Can you turn the gain up? Thanks

[@MrBlockHead]

8:27 sounds like an eric johnson lick!

[@moonkef]

Rick can you do some videos on Robben Ford?

[@charlesxu9081]

nice nice

[@r.m7921]

What chord changes occur while using myxolidian mode

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

Ladies and gentlemen. We have now entered the crazy world of jazz haha.

[@Shuzies]

Ok.......This is Great once a day for the Month of June.........ron

[@giannapple]

Sir Brian May’s solo in Bohemian Rhapsody is B flat mixolydian...

[@davy1972]

In this video, I briefly heard Van Halen, Santana and an old church hymn, A Mighty Fortress is Our God.

[@he1ar1]

war pigs is a good example of mixolydian

[@ElPita17]

i really need a lydian version of this haha

[@ccandrew111]

Not sure how anyone here feels about mid 2000s post hardcore/emo, but the one band to check out for mixolydian riffs is funeral for a friend. They use a ton of it in their guitar work

[@An2oine]

I wish I knew what you are saying. I have half of it but 13th? IDK.

[@piscator57]

I remember back in the 70's, the good local guitar players would kind of hide on stage so that nobody picked up their stuff....

[@Doulos367]

I think Frabk Marino uses Mixolydian quite often.

[@mikeknight9885]

Thought i heard a little Larry Carlton in that C13 thing

[@theshredguitarist25]

11:21 damn, sounds just like the lead guitar part from Fall To Pieces by Velvet Revolver

[@theshredguitarist25]

12:43 yes Slash!!!

[@ebrahimalfardan8823]

I thought I played the guitar well, knew all the chords, all the scales, all progressions and solo picies but aftet seeing how fucking good you are in jazz, bebop, blues, rock ... guitar, piano ... accoustic, electronic ... you name it, I think should quit music, I SUCK.

[@gQman1057]

Allman Brothers sound!

[@stephenfiore9960]

Greg Allman-I Ain’t No Angel song?

[@THEItchybruddah]

Ahoy From Knoxpatch!

[@jboughtin7522]

Matt Schofield uses mixo in his blues runs pretty effectively. Not too much, here and there.

[@Richard-jf8pb]

''guess what bro?!'' '' If there's idiotic comments, you get...'' This made my day hahahahaha! Awesome video as always Rick!

[@stevetaylor6488]

Chris Hayes used this a lot in the Huey days

[@DaveTV-1960]

this lesson is about everything BUT Mixolydian scale

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Should rename the video "How to use gain in your mixolydian playing". Heads would explode. LOL!

[@keymaster430]

Me: Rick is awesome! Rick: Well, Texas Traveler, guess what. You're BANNED! Me: Wow! That went downhill fast!

[@craigmorrison5544]

Do a what makes a band great on the smiths.

[@theaviary238]

Craig Morrison agree!

[@unsubscribe_kye]

Tell me why KZbin just stopped notifying me about your videos. I used to watch them like every day. I thought you left. Thanks, KZbin. Thanks a lot.

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

Did the guy who agreed with Ric and said too much gain and your too old get banned? Sheesh. :)

[@RickBeato]

Unbanned

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

Rick Beato cool :). Did feel a bit sorry for him. Loved your refusal to turn down the gain though.

[@KowankoMusic]

People who come to a free educational music video and nitpick about the guitar tone (which is just fine for the purpose of this lesson, btw), are what you call NON-CONTRIBUTORS. The smallest people on the internet.

[@hughjarreolee7821]

Like Rick a lot. But high gain at low volume does sound a bit off. Maybe a clean amp with od pedal would sound better.

[@KowankoMusic]

Wow, really missing the point there, buddy.

[@hughjarreolee7821]

Brooklyn Volume nope. The educational side is as valid as ever. Just saying that it could sound a bit better with minimal effort.

[@user-kf7kg3lf9w]

Don't ban them they're just trying to bond with you cuz they admire you and sometimes guys don't know any other way except bust balls

[@ebrahimalfardan8823]

3:18 LOOOL 😲, I guess I peed myself a little bit.

[@splashesin8]

🙂

[@vannacee26]

I automatically hear Peter Green :)

[@erikm9540]

Guy was taking up for him and gets banned...not a good look, Rick.

[@RickBeato]

Erik- I didn't realize that which is the reason I have Carol moderating. I think she unbanned him.

[@homeboyjethro]

@2:40 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@splashesin8]

I'm back for seconds. 😄

[@misstangshan95]

How on earth did you know intrinsically where to move the sub phrase down thro ugh the various different shapes. I've paused and rewound the video hundreds of times to pick out every note you played without being able to make musical sense of it. It is not as simple as just moving down chromatically.

[@bobrees686]

soo much Steely Dan & Santana.... REALLY

[@bobleglob162]

i could play that...at 1/3 speed.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

The Jerry Garcia scale

[@kevinr.3542]

Jeff Johansen he was the master and Trey his apprentice. Never get enough of Jerry's mixylydian playing. Especially his riffs on Fire on the Mountain from Dicks Picks vol.18. Jerry has the MuTron wailing and he comes up with some great lines.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I live in Saint Paul and me and a few of my Minneapolis Deadhead buddies drove over to Madison for those shows. Hard to believe it’s been 40 years.

[@andyzar1177]

I suck at solos.

[@Linnerd]

''Can you turn the gain off?"' ''No, I can't MOM!''

[@Linnerd]

Just a reflection of my life there
