Good stuff and to the heart of the modal matter.. emphasis on the descriptive note differences.. maj 6 in Dorian, minor 2 nd in phrygian etc.. play dominant pentatonic against some of the chords ii chord etc to create harmonic or phrygian dominant souds outside or chromatic embellishments..

Yes there's a lot you can do with those 7 notes

Ciao Alberto❣ Using a keyboard to illustrate musical theory? 🤔... I thought you were allergic to that🤣😂🥲😏! Great video / lesson! Thanks, ciao, "Break-a-leg", & kind regards❣✌

[@albertolombardimusic]

Well it's just a one off.. can you forgive me?

[@tamdsms]

@@albertolombardimusic, Nothing to forgive, you're just at a higher level than me, & don't need training wheels. For me, the keyboard is a good illustrative crayon tool for music theory (I love mixed metaphors). In the '80s I'd been playing around 20yrs., & I was taking a few lessons from an acquaintance, just to kick things up a notch: you know, "how do you play this song" lessons. As an aside, I asked him "So what's the technical definition between a major & minor chord?" He replied, "With a minor, you flatten the third." . . . I was baffled, & didn't say anymore about it, because I didn't want to look like a fool. A few years later, I glanced at a piano keyboard, envisioning a middle "C" chord, & it hit me: OH, . . . THAT THIRD, "e" to "e♭" (Duh)! 🤣😂🥲😏❣ I guess we all have a cross to bear, & I'm more than happy to amuse you at my expense❣ As always, thanks, ciao, "Break-a-leg", & kind regards❣✌

To bring out the flavor of a mode, emphasize the 1/2 steps of that mode.

[@albertolombardimusic]

That's an interesting take...

Got it from Rick Beato @@albertolombardimusic

[@PR-BEACHBOY]

Is it the same pattern as the “C Major” scale but moving the first finger to the second note etc?

I like your videos and respect the effort you make for us all - but you lost me completely when you said just add the modal note to the pentatonic scale - if you were playing D Dorian - why woud you add the 6th to the minor pentatonic - I was further confused when you said the only missing note from the scale was the 9th. I am afraid this is not clear - why the 6th and 9th.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Just look at the D dorian mode at the beginning, you'll see a D minor pentatonic plus 2 extra notes, 6th and 9th. The 6th is the most characteristic of the dorian mode. The why you add the 6th (and 9th) wasn't the purpose of the video. It's a bit more complex and varies from mode to mode. I'm offering a youtube friendly simple solution, but if you want to understand why you might consider taking my course on it.
