One of the hardest things i think for people is that when you play all the modes with c major as the reference , You don't really hear the mode .( you just hear a continuation of the major scale) . If you play all the modes from the same starting note. The magic of the modes becomes quite apparent , c ionian , c dorian , c phrygian ...etc . And use a chord that corresponds to that mode , I remember the day that I figures that out , It was a like a magical door had opened . Love your videos by the way . I do learn a lot from them . Thank you

@ Not only with Rick - from my experience 90% of online music "teachers" teach dark magic and not music. What do I mean by that? They circle around concepts instead of ever really explaining them, because they understand them, so it's a kind of secret knowledge to them, which can't be passed to someone uninitiated. In fact, every time I understand one of these concepts, I can't believe that they were so simple and logical and that no one really explained anything to me for a number of years which only made the mist around these ideas even denser. It's a superiority complex that most music people have that is at play here. Luckily, there are sources out there that don't try to make you feel diminished and dumb, because you can't grasp something which they try to hide from you at all costs, or lack didactic skills to teach jack, at the very least. Not that I don't enjoy chilling to Rick's videos in the first place - but when it's learning time, I go somewhere else, where I get straight explanations, dumbed down to square one. I could start a youtube channel in which I would do something like that with any given subject, let's say history, and then bullshit around so much that people would be amused and entertained, of course, but they would understand progressively less and less from my lectures.

Glad I'm not the only one. This would have been easier for me to follow if there was at least a statement that we were staying in the same Key or what key we were in when we were going to these modes. As I watched the video I didn't understand if we were switching keys or building triads on the root of the mode or what. Would have also been nice to be given ALL of the characteristic notes for all of the modes.

I'm with you guys on how its hard to follow, but the video is titled how to USE modal scales. That assumes that everyone watching knows their modal scales. I'll try to include what little I know: (EDIT: thanks for the comments correcting my mistakes) Ionion (1), Dorian (2), Phrygian (3), Lydian (4), Mixolydian (5), Aeolian (6), Locrian (7) numbers refer to scale degree of a major scale, Letter tells you starting note so if I say C Ionion (major), C is scale degree 1 of a C major scale (whatever is scale degree 1 gives key signature) (C D E F G A B C) C Dorian, C is scale degree 2 of a Bb major scale (Bb C D Eb F G A Bb) so with given major key, start on C (C D Eb F G A Bb C) C Phrygian, C is scale degree 3 of an Ab major scale (Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab) keep same key, and start on C (C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C) C Lydian, C is scale degree 4 of a G major scale (G A B C D E F# G) keep same key, and start on C (C D E F# G A B C) C Mixolydian, C is scale degree 5 of an F major Scale (F G A Bb C D E) same key, start on C (C D E F G A Bb C) C Aeolian (minor), C is scale degree 6 of an Eb major Scale (Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb)same key, start on C (C D Eb F G Ab Bb C) C Locrian, C is scale degree 7 of a Db major scale (Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db) same key, start on C (C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C) Knowing all Major Scales and their key signatures makes the above very easy once you understand the concept. Letter tells you start pitch, Mode tells you what scale degree of a major scale that pitch is from (giving you key signature) Next thing to know is how does each mode's scale degrees differ from a major scale (if both started on same pitch) use the major scale as your point of reference and only note differences Ionion: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (the standard major scale) Dorian: 1 2 3b 4 5 6 7b (start with major scale and lower 3 and 7) Phrygian: 1 2b 3b 4 5 6b 7b (major scale but lower 2 3, 6, 7) Lydian: 1 2 3 4# 5 6 7 (major scale but raise 4) Mixolydian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7b (major scale but lower 7) Aeolian: 1 2 3b 4 5 6b 7b (major scale but lower 3, 6, 7 giving you the natural minor scale you should be familiar with) Locrian: 1 2b 3b 4 5b 6b 7b (major scale but lower 2, 3, 5, 6, 7) summary and what to be memorized Ionion Dorian (flat 3,7) Phrygian (flat 2, 3, 6, 7) Lydian (sharp 4) Mixolydian (flat 7) Aeolian (flat 3, 6, 7) minor Locrian (flat 2, 3, 5 ,6 ,7) Hope this helps.

Amazing brother 💚Only thing now when im getting through it is that you have a mistake in this line : C Phrygian, C is scale degree 3 of an Ab major scale (Ab Bb C D Eb F G Ab). I think you accidentaly wrote wrong interval as it should be (Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab) for the major scale. Maybe this would cause trouble to less experienced folks so just to make it clear.

The comments about this video can be divided into two categories:- 1 - Positive comments from people who know about modes and can appreciate just how fantastic this short, and absolutely free, lesson is. 2 - Negative comments from people who need to buy, read, and understand Rick's book. The title does not state anything about teaching what modes are, it just states that it will tell you how to use them! If you don't know and understand Algebra you will never get to grips with Calculus, so go away and learn all about modes, then come back and appreciate the knowledge which Rick is giving away for free.

GPhrygian(3rd mode of Ebmaj) to BDorian(2nd mode of Amaj) is🔥🔥🔥That’s a dissonant modulation as Eb and A are a dissonant interval from each other (tritone). Outlining the mode is brutally important to achieving that dirty yet gentle sound. Or any desired modal sound IG. Respect to you sir. Your vids help me alot💪🏾

Gosh I needed to revisit this video. Seriously this is THE key to unlocking many other concepts that usually pass by in a flash (oh yeah this is a Lydian triad and now we ....) Also this give meaning to certain aroeggio techniques. Id say this is probably more important and critical to understand than borrowing chords. If we change the modal coloring to different sections of a song, we can dramatically emphasize or downplay a certain aspect and set things up for an upcoming passage that would otherwise be the exact same chord progression. For example if you have a simple I-IV-V, between this, changing register, inversions, time feel... You can guve depth to otherwise plain and uninteresting tunes. All without borrowing any chords, or changing keys (though you can also do those as well)

I can sense with my limited understanding that this comes from a deep understanding of musical theory. I wish I could grasp it more. I just don't know how. I am student of Indian classical music in which concept of raga is a central one, and it appears to map beautifully to the modes Rick presents. For instance, the Ionian mode appears to map onto the base scale for the raga "sankarabharanam", the dorian mode as "karaharapriya", and so on. These are massive ragas with incredible improvisational scope. What I found mind-blowing is that Rick has effortlessly shown how they are all derived from the same set of notes by shifting the tonic, and thus setting off a signature for the mode. Oh I wish I could learn from him!

What I *think* I learned: modes are basically just major scale but with a different start point. It means that when you are in e.g. C major and play V chord of C major (the G chord), you can play notes from G Mixolydian with this chord to give it a special color. More specifically, Mixolydian has a lowered 7th, so to get the Mixolydian sound, you want to use this lowered 7th when playing yout V chord. And the same logic can be applied when using other modes. That's what I gathered from the video. I am a total amateur though, so feel free to point out my mistakes!
@dashriprock5720
@dashriprock5720 3 жыл бұрын
Right! but not always from a starting point. Think of the lowest note as the starting point. The bass note determines what the other notes on top are. you can keep playing the same chord on guitar and as the bassist I can change the chord you are playing. That's a jazz trick to all those chords they play.

Without covering that, someone who doesn't know the modes is going to be lost from there on.

A nice way to voice Dorian in full (or even without the 5th) is *1 5 7 3 4 9 13*, or even *1 7 3 4 5 9 13*, super wide and those doubled up major 7th intervals make for a very rich hazy sound, probably my favourite voicings if I'm honest.

It is interesting to hear the modes harmonically like this. This seems like a very "keyboardy" way of approaching modes, though. I feel like musicians on most other instruments would hear them in a more linear, melodic sense. Also, at the end of the video, is there a method to your choices of modal modulations? I can't decipher any pattern in the modulations- are you just arbitrarily picking random modes and mixing them? Or are there reasons behind these modulation choices? They all sound very interesting and colorful and I'd like to know more about why/how you choose your modulations. Which modal modulation types work best, and which work not so well?

Fullprops If all else fails, you might want to try the Neapolitan 6 though, admittedly, that might create a bit of tension which could, in the end, prove hard to resolve....

A very simple way to actually get acquainted to the sound of a mode is just to use the white keys and only play 2 keys spread across 2 octaves: ionian: C-D', C-E', C-F' ... C-C' ... lydian: F-G', F-A', .. F-F' ... When it gets boring add another key :)

That's what the PDF is for :) I did shoot with a second camera but you need to use your ears, not eyes. Reading notation is fine because it's using a different part of the brain for analysis. I learned this by ear myself before I learned the theory and that was when you only had cassettes. I will have the PDF available soon. Check out my video on triads here. I put the music fight in the video :) thanks! Rick

you give a lot of useful information, but one thing I am looking for information on, and having a hard time finding, is help writing melodies in different modes. in a more folk style. using normal nonextendef chords for accompaniment. like the way Scottish music uses mixolydian, and Irish music uses Dorian.

Can I say that if one doesn't know what modes are already, then not only she won't learning nothing from this video, but also she will not understand barely nothing?!! But ok...Beato knows what modes are, this is clear!
