How Trey Uses Modes - Guitar Lesson

[@daxmoore2060]

Wow! Dude, thanks so much. This helped me get that awesome dreamy, spacey, trippy Trey sound, as shown in the live clips in the video. I've always had trouble making Mixolydian sound like that. Maybe because I'm a rocker, through and through, lol. Usually I hear the F7 and just play F Mixolydian. I know the fretboard pretty good, so I move those notes around and have fun jamming. This was different. Playing the notes in the positions you showed really unlocked a distinctive Trey voice on my guitar. Beautiful sounds. I really appreciate your friendly vibe, and teaching style.

Hey, I'm so glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@thejamnasium6447]

glad you're still making videos man. I don't know why but I haven't seen anything from your channel show up on my feed in a year or so. you're still killin it! right on.

[@AaronLS.]

That mini lydian arpeggio over the 4th chord is so good. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Yeah, that's kind of my favorite...love sneaking in some lydian!

[@okimotdm]

Completely agree with your approach. Love the eb 4th Lydian, Dorian and adding the eb major 7th. Keep up the great work, fans r much smarter for it

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Great call on making the Eb a maj7 voicing! Thanks for checking out the lesson!

[@gfuterfas]

This is a wonderful example of using Lydian. I never think it sounds so good!

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Thanks for checking it out Graham!

And nobody’s wrong. What a crazy world

[@oliverchapman51177]

The Reba jam let’s me explore. I realized my D Phrygian to be weak

[@affliction1980]

Very confused here. at 3:28 you said that A is the Dorian note of Bb Major. How is this Dorian and not Locrian? Am I missing something here?

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Hey sorry if the way I said that was confusing! What I meant is that the note A natural is what gives C dorian its unique sound. So if you throw an A into your C minor pentatonic, it creates a dorian sound. Let me know if that helps or not, thanks!

[@affliction1980]

@@PhishGuitarLessons I see. Thank you. Maybe I was just being a bit dense. Im pretty basic with theory, but i'm trying to improve that. Thanks again!

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

@@affliction1980 Not dense at all! I can see how that could have been confusing so thank you for clearing it up!

[@affliction1980]

@@PhishGuitarLessons Now that I was able to get past that obstacle that was confusing me earlier, this all makes much more sense. I've been taking small bites of this lesson and trying it with jam tracks. Thank you!

[@lucasbaer2190]

This has helped me out out exponentially!!! Thank you! Your lesson breakdowns are the best!

[@maisonwolfe1890]

Awesome lesson! This definitely explains Trey's playing for me. As a younger player, I hear all these weird notes that sound good and now I know where they came from! I sometimes never knew where and/or why he hit them. This really just blew my mind!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@AaronLS.]

This was great to expand the options during a modal jam. Thanks for putting this together.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Absolutely!

[@stash7714]

Love these lessons and thanks for the jam track. Not sure how many PRS guitars you own but I look forward to seeing which one you bust out.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Ha Thanks for watching!

[@doggy7210]

Very cool lesson. I especially like the lydian idea. Sounds awesome.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Thanks!

[@williamrutherford9997]

Extremely helpful concepts, and great advice!!!

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Thanks for watching!

[@BrianLaPrade-v8f]

Thank you so much for these lesson! They help connect a lot of dots!

[@bwmohner]

Awesome, thanks! I always appreciate the bit of theory behind the playing. I don’t think enough about where the modes overlap with the pentatonic positions and the chords. Trying to mesh all of those together instead of always playing them individually.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Yeah, it's cool to see all the (interconnected) possibilities that live in a given area of the fretboard...it's a never ending quest!

[@kungstu22]

Another awesome two chord jam is fire on the mountain. I would love to see you do a lesson like this for that one.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

That's a great call, kind of the same situation but in reverse!

[@jonathan-smith]

These new lessons are fantastic!

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Thank you Jonathan, I'm glad you're digging them!

[@86vibrato]

keep it up man. finding stuff like this is suprisingly hard to find. us birds of a feather. some of the ideas sure have helped if not inspired me. appresh.

[@gratefulwindssailing]

❤❤❤❤ thanks

[@swanny708]

Great tone. Are you running your PRS through any pedals?

[@stash7714]

He has a full video on his setup which is cool.

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Hey there, for this one I just went straight to the amp (Mesa Boogie .22 Caliber). Thanks for watching!

[@amoblahblah]

Great solo at 5:10 - do you have a band?

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Thank you! I play bass in a wedding band and guitar in another cover band but that's about it these days. Thank you for checking out the video!
