MODES - Part 1

[@jasonrand461]

This guy is legitimately a gift to the guitar universe. Just gives info, no bullshit.

[@isaacshemp901]

Finally after like 20 videos on this topic, one demystifies it.

[@waxeye6488]

Steve Stine is good too in simplifying it

[@briantaylor314]

I agree

[@kdchrm]

So glad I stumbled on this video, just watched about 6 videos of other people explaining it, but none of them really clarified the changes in the whole and half step orders and the flats in the scales. I know this is 5 years old but thank you still, the modes are starting to make a lot more sense now!

[@aldicicco5357]

Thanks Pebber. This was the clearest explanation I have ever heard. You connected the dots once and for all! I need to practice these now and learn which modes fit best over various changes.

[@SuperStig23]

Excellent explanation of the modes, nice to see a guy who knows his stuff without showing-off his personal chops, this is rare, listen to this guy !! Nice Job Buddy !!

[@pearlstreet77]

Finally a Modes lesson that anticipates and clarifies the typical sticking points for students. I am a lifelong guitar player who learned mostly by ear with a very fractured understanding of theory gained from a garden variety of sources. Late in life I am finally filling in the gaps to attain a fuller understanding of basic theory. I have read countless materials on modes and as you observed they are mostly lacking in student perspective. They should all cover the importance of playing parallel modes vs. Parent Key Modes in order to hear the differences. Yours is the first lesson I've seen that explains this clearly. Kudos to you sir !

[@aurel344]

So far the best explanation about the modes on youtube, thx a lot !

[@Nelepl]

The best video on modes, finally somebody that can explain it and actually play it. Thanks

[@garyslespaul]

Thanks! I FINALLY understand it after 40 years of playing... Thanks again!!!!

[@JRexHvyMtl]

17:20 is GOLD. Thank you Mr. Brown! This was such an excellent lesson.

[@FlaschDJ]

I think Pebber Brown is a fine teacher. Pebber’s analysis of Blue Bossa, which I watched just before this, provides a a rare, clear method for determining which key you’re in. Outstanding. Thank you. I want to add this: For me to really get this (more) under my belt, I would (need to) practice (hard) by choosing a note (say C) and playing each of the 7 modes off that C. Each of this modes will be in a KEY. For example, C Dorian is in the key of Bb. C Phrygian, the key of Ab. Wonderful stuff but, at least for me, it will require work - but I believe it will be relevant work.

[@brentmann]

Modes have always been a mystery to me this is the first video that cleared it up for me! Really grateful for this video! Tks!

[@VishalVishal-pf4nu]

You explained it with so much more clarity.. I was approaching towards your method but still lost. Because all the modes in the parent key sounded just the same to me.. the magic begins when you start from the same note.. and thats what made my day.. Thank you Mr Pebberbrown cheers from India \m/

[@udertyrat]

If my guitar teacher that I had when I was 15 (30+ years ago) he wouldn’t have turned me off of jazz. But he was great with the Mel Bay books and learning covers. Thanks a bunch for doing this.

[@pebberbrown]

@pebberbrown Minor - you just look at the scale - Dorian has 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 and 1 so the chords based on the root would be of course: 1 b3 5, 1b3 5 b7, 1 b3 5 6, etc. Look at the other minor modes and figure out what you have to do to the chord to make it fit.

[@justaS33ker]

This lesson is full of WIN! I never really understood the modes until I did some primitive pitch axis theory covering all the modes in E. Being an aspiring fingerstyle/classical player, I lazily droned E with my thumb while played modes starting on A string. Viola! The light always seems to go on when you have a bass note always droning the root note of the mode. Once you really 'hear' the modes it seems to be easier to learn them. Grab a bassist (or multitrack software) and then go to town!

[@cheesygreg]

Most musicians know the modes but find it difficult in explaining it> I think you broke it down really well. Makes it easier for me when i'm explaining it to others, Thanks

[@gawain6645]

ruey dsouza or they don't want to explain it

[@MrBlank0907]

watching this video made it Click. i finally understand how the modes work. ive asked others and they only confused me more but this video really explained it well

[@clevblue]

Thanks, Pebber, a very clear lesson, easy to understand. Lots of teachers on the tube get nowhere near your explanations, they're great

[@chappyman1249]

Great lesson Pebber, I wrote them down! One of the things you said that tied it all together was relating it to the major scale. The whole step/half step explanation was great! Keep up the great work, I like how you acknowledge the BS out there and don't care or put up with it. Thanks again!

[@notname4339]

Over a year has passed since checking out your video. Unfortunately I can't dedicate myself. I play guitar for at least an hour a day usually more. I'm really mad at myself for not taking it more serious. Watching you tear through scales. Really just makes me notice how much skill I don't have and should have considering I've been playing guitar for over 10 years. I'm gonna write a note on a blank poster board to "practice, REALLY PRACTICE!" When I have some extra cash I'l make a donation to your website. You have way too much awesome free knowledge on here that I have benefited from. Thank you.

[@aceluby]

You figure out the mode by the chords underneath. If you have two major chords next to each other (ie F & G) those are more than likely the 4th and 5th of the major scale (in this case C). In this case if the song resolves to G you can deduce that this is the G Mixolydian mode. That's how you figure out the modes, chords to find the major scale and then what note the passage resolves to to find the mode

[@Dreamdancer11]

I think one uniform answer for everything on guitar is...intervals.You have to know intervals and how they appear visually on guitar neck.So if you know the construction of things you can create anything you want on the fly scales arps chords.You hear 1 b3 b5 and you know instantly what it is and you can play it instantly on the fretboard cause you know the interval shapes.

[@lucydiamond7777]

Thank you. Thank you so very VERY much. The greatest compliment I can give you right now is that after 27 years, I now understand. Thank you again, ~LD

ive just seen the face of GuiOD. I have never learned so much in 28 minutes than I have here. This is 15 years of information I have wondered about for 19 years THANK YOU sir bless you sir..I BOW.

[@DeaDBodYDecoY]

8:59 is exactly what happens to a lot of folks, me included. Just started playing guitar and you giving back to the populace like you do has put years of learning into an almost empty bag. Thanks for another great lesson!

[@francis7a]

Very helpful! I was writing out the step patterns, but your added prospective pointing out parallel & parent modes shone the light for me. Thanks! I also find idiots who quickly insult are never willing show how they're better practitioners.The true practitioners advise with respect & constructive criticism, they teach rather than condescend. When Bruce Lee quickly defeated those who challenged him, he often taught the challenger what flaw caused their defeat. That is the mark of a true master.

[@GoMiGman]

Well done, Mr. Pebber. Here's the problem that freaks people out (which I have found out) about modes and that you eloquently explained is the dynamics of the "parent" modes vs the "parallel" modes. Most of the videos or basic teachings you'll find anywhere (except in respectable musical institutions) will only explain modes as they relate to parent modes and not the essential reason for learning them in the first place and that is to use them as parallel modes!

[@LJG781]

THANK YOU .... this has drove me crazy for years.... the light just went on....

[@debeshbhattarai]

The best mode lesson ever seen in KZbin .... Cheers.... !

[@jeremysavage4170]

pepper thank you so much for taking the time to make these lesson...iv been study your videos going on two years now and the people that no me from when i first started cant beleive how far i have gone with it however I no I still have a ways to go but your lessons have really helped me and keep me motivated to learn more...thanx again.

[@musicprodave]

The first note of the A major scale is "A" therefor the a major scale in the key of A major is Ionian. The second note of the G major scale is "A " therefore the G major scale is the Dorian mode in the key of A minor

[@Mooseboy08]

Pebber, you've got a roundabout way of explaining modes, but I had to come back and say "thanks!" for making me to think about modes in a parallel way, rather than just linear, as I'd been doing for a long time. Lately, I've been practicing what I loosely call a linear/parallel approach, which has resulted in some lovely sounds. But I really believe that the most concrete way of starting an explanation of modes comes from demonstrating them on a keyboard. I'll be doing my lesson on them in this fashion soon.

[@unfetteredaxes1032]

Pebber..you ARE MY SPIRITUAL MENTOR! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING 🎼🎶

[@dridribelo]

Finally somebody who knows how to explain. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@myway43]

Holy cow Pebber, I have watched this video I don't know how many times, yet every time I learn something, truly amazing. Thanks so much

[@pebberbrown]

Many beginners get the notation wrong - the guy did say PROGRESSION - so I deciphered his notation as Ami to D. Ami/D is the actual notation for Aminor with a D in the bass - but the original misconception lies in the fact that he said progression and only offered ONE chord symbol albeit with 2 chords in it. If you Have a Slash chord of Ami/D you are correct but if you have a Polychord Ami/D then its an Ami triad over a Dmaj triad (D F# A C E) or a D9 chord. The D9 Chord would be the V of G

[@evalex71]

For me the magic happens at around 8:00. Best explanation of modes I've ever had, thanks man

Brilliant Pebber! Starting each mode from the same note (e.g. A) finally reveals the point.

[@GoMiGman]

This is one of the best explanations behind how modes really work! Thank you so much Pebber for this! Now I need to go back to my fretboard and map this out. It is great learning exercise on mastering the fretboard.

[@douglasbroccone3144]

Best explanation I’ve seen on KZbin Thanks brother

[@vox1003]

d dorian is the second mode of c maj which is the relative of A min, we usually refer to the major keys as the key center

[@HealYourSelfHQ]

THANK YOU SIR!!! I've been so confused with the modes but you just broke it down beautifully.

[@mikefox2379]

I have been wracking my brain for 4 days until you sir, straightened it out! Thank you, it really isn't hard but I was having trouble with the fact that one teacher tells me to start on the second note for the Dorian, 3rd Prygian etc. Then another teacher says start on the A for all the modes. A little frustrating. Your explanation helps and the scale formulas for each mode.

[@Dreamdancer11]

Modes are simple if you think about this:You all learned the natural minor scale as as a scale in its own right at first.You have to do the same thing for the rest of them.Just like you played A minor all this time and not the C major scale from the 6th degree you have to treat the rest of the modes the same.Dont learn them all at one sitting....take Dorian....learn its intervalic structure,harmonize it,make progressions of it...improvise with it,sing it....move to Phrygian etc etc etc.Modes ARE scales and whoever realizes it fast enough it ll make his life alot easier.As he said in the video...learn the modes the parallel way.

[@beyobeya]

Really a great lesson (as always). I am one of those that got confused about those modes when I was still learning scales so I had to stop and figure out how will I learn "hundreds" of scales. Now I just realized those others are just modes. I saw modes while I was just learning the basics of scales and that overwhelmed me and made me stop doing self-study. But the way you explained them made just proved how great a teacher you are and those others suck. Thanks, Pebber! :)

[@Foxated]

Thank you very much Pebber, you are absolutely right, I have struggled to, at least, understand the theory of modes but your tutorial has made me understand the scaleatic pattern of the subsequent measures/steps and the mathematical logic of it ... plus I like your "down to earth" approach .... much appreciated!

[@GM-ie3sg]

Best video on modes out there. Cuts out all the bullshit around Modes and Scales. Make sure you watch the whole thing. I wish Pebber had taught me, so i didnt have to waste 20 years trying to understand this stuff. Why can't other musicians, or books explain this subject properly instead of complicating things so much! The part on parallel Modes v Modes working off the major scale was the light bulb moment for me. Thank you Pebber.

[@sunnyincircle]

thanks a lot your teaching method is really amazing, please open up a institute in India we need teachers like you!!

[@jsm355]

I agree with Mr. Brown on his presentation . The most important thing to remember is that you must understand the " Parent " scale first . To offer additional support with modes consider the " Order " of the modes . 1. Ionian ( The Major scale ) C D E F G A B C 2. Dorian ( minor w / raised 6th ) D E F G A B C D 3. Phyrigian ( minor / Not a true minor ) E F G A B C D E 4. Lydian ( Major w/ Raised 4th ) F G A B C D E F 5. Mixolydian ( Major w/ lowered 7th ) G A B C D E F G 6. Aeolian ( The Natural Minor ) A B C D E F G A 7. Locrian ( Half Diminished ) B C D E F G A B THIS IS THE ANSWER KEY TO FINDING OUT IF YOUR MODES HAVE THE CORRECT WHOLE / HALF STEP PATTERN CORRECT ONCE YOU HAVE ANALYZED THE MODE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT . EXAMPLE : C# DORIAN . DORIAN = THE 2ND MODE . Ask yourself in what key / scale is C# the second note. Answer = B How many Sharps / Flats are in this scale / key ? Answer = 5 Sharps .. F# , C#, G#, D# , A# Conclusion / C# Dorian = C# D# E F# G# A# B C# = D E F G A B C D ( D Dorian ) W H W W W H W = W H W W W H W THE PATTERNS MATCH . Now check your work using the above ANSWER KEY and compare the Whole step / Half step patterns . Does it have the same pattern ? If so you are on the right track . WRITE ALL OF THEM OUT ONE at A TIME . I hope this helps in figuring out what needs to be altered in each scale . Once this is done apply to your instrument and observe the patterns as it applies to each instrument i.e.., Guitar , piano , etc....

[@MikeStock88]

Awesome lesson I'm no mode expert but from my experience I like to use them as an extension of their parent scale, so for example if you want to create a Lydian sound, then just raise the 4th when playing a major scale. It won't sound Lydian unless you emphasise the 4th degree in whatever you play

[@satchfan2010]

The raised fourth degree of Lydian mode is not the ''tonic''.

[@pebberbrown]

The Lydian mode is C D E F# G A B C and C is the TONIC of the Lydian mode. The F# is the sharp 4 degree of the scale. Check out George Russells Lydian Chromatic Concept book for a massive study of the Lydian mode (he calls it the Lydian scale - not mode). There are a handful of videos here on KZbin which breifly explain it.

Really! You are simply the best! Thanks a lot.

[@leonhiggins2309]

Good explanation. Droning the root while you play really brings them out. I personally notice the phygrian mode (3rd mode) as it sounds so Spanish. I.e play an E open chord, drone the E and play the C major scale, focusing on the E target note. Really cool at the fifth position (playing the Am shape).

[@donngoodside6885]

Pebber ___My concept of Modes' is, Major/ Ionian is #1, as 'Root / Tonic. Knowing your Scale degrees, 2, is Dorian, 3, is Phrygian, etc., when I reach for a 5th, I think 'Mixolydian, and play the 'Arpeggio of this , 1,3,5,7,... it seems to work for me.All I have to remember is, 1/2 tone between, B&C , E&F and determine if the Tonic is, minor, Major, Aug, or dim.Haven't seen you, '0n-line' lately... trust you are well - Peace !

[@johncook9983]

Not surprisingly, the cleanest and clearest explanation to modes. Thank you Pebber. Btw...best PB Moment ever @ 17:05-17:30

[@pebberbrown]

No in D dorian the I chord is Dminor, the IV chord is G7 and the V chord is Ami,. I IV V in Dorian is Dmi - G7 - Ami or with 7th chords Dmi7-G7-Ami7. In the parent Major key it would be considered a II-V-VI progression - but VI is a substitute for I in major anyway so it boils down to a parent major II-V-I progression with Ami7 being plural to Cmaj7.

[@dirtywaffleiron1]

This is awesome, Mr Brown thank-you for posting this. Clears up a LOT of confusion for me.

[@joreyreitman9655]

This video helped change the way I approach soloing in terms of modes. I always practiced modes is series, which made it difficult to hear the differences because I wasn't hearing any different tones; I was just hearing the same tones starting on a different note. Once I started practicing in this parallel fashion, I was able to hear some differences. In other words, each different mode created a different arrangement of intervals, thus creating different sounding scales. ALSO, I'm with Pebber on one important point. WRITE THIS SHIT DOWN!!! You won't get it till you do!! PEBBER IS THE MAN!!! Thank You, Sir!

[@riskotibor80]

I think a big help in understanding modes is to first understand the harmonized major scale and its degrees (what 7th chords are built on each of the major scale's degrees).

[@cleanestdirtyshirt2611]

what about minor scale? i believe 7 chords also built on each of the minor scales degrees. but what are they?

[@douglasthompson8927]

thanks this really help..I think I finally get the diatonic part..in practice if you move your hand down 2 frets you are in Dorian 3 frets Phrygian etc

[@EddieGoregor]

I know exactly where the confusion lies. Happened to me with books. What always gets lost is the fact that you must apply the step pattern to the "Key or Pedal tone"!!! Books say "Start playing on the second of the scale using that as your root emphasis!" And like you said, "you will hear it as an A Major scale no matter what." You must apply the step pattern to the key. So, when you build chords all sorts of wacky dissonances emerge. Thats still tough, which mode to play over what chord & Why.

[@gerisyandrayusman9595]

Thank's from West Java - Indonesia!! awesome video!!

[@stephenwilliams6750]

The formula didn't change when you changed modes you still use the initial a maj. Formula you just start in a slightly different spot and end on a slightly different spot so you sill play 1 deg- 8th deg. For Usonian and you play 2nd deg- 1st deg for Dorian so it's all about the note you start on in the scale and it's position in the formula.

[@signguy1080]

am I glad I found this site on modes, it is so confusing to me. you explained it so I can understand it. for some reason I find a lot of people that spend 3/4 of there time on theory. well bullshit I spend allmy time on playing. I had a jazz instructor about 5 years ago to teach me some theory. now he was absolutely great at this but couldn't play anything. the phone rang one time he was talking so I started doing some blues licks he kept asking how did you do that. I figured the only theory I wanted to learn was learning where all the noted were on the fret, scales and how to do chord voicings. as far as for me that was great and I knew that was important. but to get bogged down on all theory I was going to throw my guitar away. I know a couple of good players, neil schon of journey I knew growing up, he kept telling just learn to play, everything will follow and he was right. but I always wanted to know what is a mode, went nuts trying to understand till you made easy for mr. great stuff thanks

[@gschrock313]

Forgot to mention the super cool discussion of the diatonic definition and it's relationship to the lydian mode - priceless! Can't thank you enough for feeding us the "real" sh*t !

[@winwin997]

Dear Pebber..This is a brilliant lesson and sometimes or many times I wish to tell my lazy students off, however I don't and your are damn right...if anybody is serious about learning anything they should document it and have some discipline to follow through...and that is the least requirement..There should be more tutors like you in these parent infested schools! I am grateful.

Pepper - you lay it all out for everyone right at 20:37 (ish) -- I also use what "UnitedEffect" speaks of, relating the mode to scale degrees and relying on know my scales. Can you possibly do a segment on usage of modes in different harmonic situations? Thanks in advance for all you do!!

😢. RIP Pebber. Thank you for your lessons. ❤️

[@JohnProph]

"writing it down" is essentially how I learned my theory, over 20 years ago write a scale down. write down all the chords from that scale using 1-3-5 write down all 7th chords 1-3-5-7 then I made hundreds of diagrams of the fretboard with all of the notes in all the scales. I have folders full of stuff written down on yellow legal pads lol then I would, say, make a diagram of the fretboard with all of the A-C#-E notes written down. Boom, there's every possible A major arpeggio etc after a while of doing this type of thing, along with actually playing and practicing these ideas, you start to get a good grasp of the theory and the fretboard

[@pebberbrown]

No - The guy asked about an Ami/D PROGRESSION. Aminor with a D in the BASS is not a PROGRESSION but Ami to D is a progression therefore Ami = ACE and Dmajor = DF#A. Aminor with D in the Bass is ONE CHORD not a PROGRESSION.

[@concretejungle80cruz]

you are the man! Thank you for that lesson. I have been thinking the entire time that parallel modes and parent modes were the same thing, yet they sounded different and kept me totally confused. Please tell me how you would apply these modes? For example let's take a simple dead song like Franklin's Tower which is A-G-D-G-A... if you are in the key of A would you play an A ionian scale? And would it be all over the neck or just at the 5th fret?

[@Tricknologyinc]

Nice lesson and reference! I don't think parallel modes are the only or "best" way to hear the modes especially early in the "development". You have to create an auditory reference, like you said, but that can be done by droning the root, and also modulating the scale around the root with simple phrases that signature the mode. I like starting students on C major so there's no sharps or flats yet to confuse, and using something like this presentation to briefly introduce, but then take one mode at a time, with a "song" or progression that features the signature of the mode. I don't think anybody is REALLY going to get it until they do BOTH anyway, to grasp the template like structure of each and the master template basis of it's origin. I think you have to light both ends of the candle to really set a player on fire! I also like C major because there's a bunch of cool stupid associations like "E" rhymes with "3", Four starts with F, GImme five (ouch) Jeez, there's A6 and asics, B with a 7 on each side makes a nice pair of shades... I know they're stupid, and dwelling on them is even dumber, but I think the brain seeds them well enough that the player can rediscover them on their own as they progress, and using the A major scale has so much confusion potential for developing students because of the sharps and flats. It's a real easy concept as far as the basic function of it, but it is SO abstract to integrate into an early music education to get the student playing and feeling music. Getting the concept of modes hinges on seeing the pattern and template of the major scale, and throwing sharps and flats into it to early will elicit the fight AND the flight response... My brain overloads pretty quickly and this stuff takes lots of practice to weave all these concepts together into a robust fabric. I like to start with a wearable fabric and add hair to it slowly.... Just my thoughts. Each brain has different defects. Thanks for lessons! They're EPIC! I LOVE listening to you, LOVE your sense of humor! LOVE your dedication to the craft!

Thanks for simplifying this..I've been playing a while but am only recently applying modes although I've always understood the concept..I think of modes as scales and never understood why people overcomplicate it..also I'm all about the ancient Greeks but I never use the Greek [Latin?] terms.. I've always just thought of an A form or B-G unless I was trying to explain it to someone then 1-7..I don't know why I never thought to say A2..B3 etc like you did towards the end of the video..don't get me wrong I'm not really a very good guitarist..I'm new to jazz and never really got it until I started reading the Mickey Baker books which I like because of the lack of superficial commentary and the wealth of example..he never mentions the ii V I he just shows you how to play it.

This video is absolutely brilliant.

[@ugowhereiwent]

22 years of playing, very few knowledge. I've learn the past month i blow on pentatonic major and minor all the time. Plus blues stuff here and known music there. This is what i went to learn at first. Modes. Dorian change my life for three weeks. I'm getting a little bit more serious after it. Lets see if i go getting real serious about music...need praticing...anyway...

[@pebberbrown]

As it is EXPLAINED CLEARLY in the video. B is the SECOND MODE OF MELODIC MINOR. If you start on B the notes are B - C - D - E - F# - G# - A - B. B=1, C=2 (or b2 in this mode), D=b3, E=4, F#=5, G#=6, A=b7 and B=1. If you dont understand then study this for one hour for 3 days in a row.
