[@Bane_d_Bronson]

Your teaching style and content quality really deserve more praise

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@ianjamiesonmusic]

It's so great

[@johnny5494]

Did you just call your Jem the Lydian guitar? Priceless

[@davebartram8762]

Amazing lessons - clear and concise. By far you are best guitar tutor on the internet. Brilliant. Thank you, you have revitalised my playing.

[@quintellabio]

That was hands down nothing short of amazing! The triad pairing concept is so insane! Simple and effective! For the first time I managed to understand everything that was explained! Thank you so much, please don't gove any regards to haters, your content is absolutely exceptional :)

[@pavelvaldes7690]

YOU HAVE CREATED A MASTERPIECE GUITAR LESSON! THANKS!!!

[@tridan2448]

Thanks so much for this. It will take a bit for this to sink in for me but it's worth the time it will take... excellent

[@richardnixon5068]

I liked the sneaky Vai reference on your Lydian mode example. Very subtle sir!

[@HardcoreOreider]

By far the best lessons on KZbin!

[@Fogertian]

This is by far THE LESSON I was waiting for .... Now YT can erase ALL guitar lessons and keep this video as a LESSON written on stone ... for us ... the guitarkind ..... BTW, this video is FOOD for my brain ... and what a great menu !!!!

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you! :)

[@s.c.i.e.n.c.e.]

always excited about modes!

[@carlsalazar4490]

I watched some of your other videos and now the KZbin algorithm is feeding me so much information regarding modes, but your videos have provided me information that is practical and something that I can immediately incorporate into my playing. Thank you for all that you do. Cheers from California.

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you :) That is my goal, to make complex things easy and practical.

[@fabtone1]

MASSIVE ! A joy for the ears and .....my little brain ! thanks you a really nice job we have here !

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@gerritvanderwende5417]

Great lesson, Rob. Very useful. Greetings, Gerrit.

[@QJamTracks]

Dank je wel Gerrit! :)

[@resb1714]

For me ... humble self ... this lesson brings it - I remember several 🤔? - all together. The last one one you made, Superimposing and so on .... plus, cristal clear about how to see/hear Modes 👏👏👏!!! ... 😎🙏🙏🙏

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks :)

[@mariofloreshernandez4467]

Muy buenas sus lecciones, the best teacher !

[@gorimus]

This approach of adding a note to pentatonic scales and making it hexatonic and then the full mode may work for people who have played only pentatonic scales and then want to incorporate modal playing. However, it is best to learn modes based on Major scale patterns (like you show in the third approach) and absorb sound intervals and thereby grasp the key characteristics of each mode. Also, on a different note, saying Dm pentatonic over D Dorian scale is potentially confusing. Perhaps one could say playing Dm pentatonic over D Dorian chord progression.

@ 20:07 Why is the E on the 6th fret of the A string? When it should be on the 7th. It is like you pushed back the E and F#.

[@johnmccullough8705]

Could You Do A Tutorial On the HUNGARIAN MAJOR SCALE & MODES…Rob? That Would Be…AWESOME!

[@gedinchristian603]

Pour ma part je ne passe pas par la gamme parente car ça demande beaucoup de travail de réflexion. Pour chaque mode je constitue des "boîtes" d'une octave avec la tonique du mode respectivement sur les cordes 6 puis 5, 4 et 3. En tout ça fait 8 boîtes si l'on veut jouer sur toutes les cordes. Je travaille par exemple: C Ionien puis C dorien, C phrygien. Quand j'ai mémorisé les repères de C, je n'ai plus qu'à transposer les boîtes. Ca demande de connaître son manche mais on n'a plus besoinde rechercher la gamme parente et surtout on évite de jouer la tonalité parente au lieu du mode!!

[@QJamTracks]

Sure, that's a strategy too. Always do what works best for you!

[@jcaryali]

Hello.In the video pair triads part, D Dorian example, there is triad D/A, mayor triad shape. I don't understand this shape if are two minor triads. Can you explain me please??. Thanks from Spain

[@QJamTracks]

That should be Dm./A.... Excuse me for that!

[@wholespirit5323]

In the b -major scale the E and F# is at the wrong place 7.25

[@bishalshankar9530]

I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers I guess high quality video content isn't for everyone

[@resb1714]

People in general only wish to get the TAB's plus showed how to play a particular song. Not learn how music can be constructed ... why and what could work in this or that situation. In either way you can reach a certain level. But the one who has some knowledge about what he/she is doing might have an advantage 😉✌️

[@radiozelaza]

he's scale-shaming you!

[@johnmccullough8705]

MODES Are Important…BC When U Rearrange the Major Scale (And Other Scales & Modes)…Starting On Whatever IntervaL…UR Starting the Seven Note Scale On…And U Skip Every Other Note…That Gives U the TETRACHORD (D Minor7 For Example)…And It Allows Allows U To Discern What the EXTENSIONS ( & ALTERED Tensions In Melodic Minor ETC) Are Much Easier…MAJOR SCALE ALONE & Their Respective MODES…Won’t Enable You to LEARN All the POSSIBLE Extensions & Alterations of CHORDS…Especially With ALTERED DOMINANT Chords…But Hey…Beginners GoTTa START Somewhere

[@mctwistx1248]

i hear all modes the same

[@bigjoob4831]

This is because you are fully regarded

[@5400bowen]

Another one trying to confuse beginners to look knowledgable. All modern discussion of modes is a sham. In the system of keys they are just variations on the scale pattern, not a separate entity to complicate mental assessment of the desired effect. Made up out of thin air ideas to confuse people. Just like the high priests of the Pythagorean church keeping it a secret that the intervals weren't actually perfect ratios when they discovered it later on. All you beginners, ignore all talk of modes and stick solely to the system of keys.

[@tonydevosmusic]

Spot on man🤘

[@adrianaslund8605]

Well It's fun to explore it either way.

[@QJamTracks]

Everyone can have his/her own opinion of course, but for the viewers of this post the following is important (in my opinion): This is not an explanation of modes for beginners and this lesson is not pointed at beginners. Besides that, modal music is another thing than tonal music. It's a different approach and not a "variation on scale patterns" of the major keys. Functional harmony doesn't apply on modes as it does on typical tonal music. This is commonly accepted by musicians all over the world.

[@5400bowen]

@@QJamTracks they are wrong.

[@towersofzeyron]

Spot on. Teachers actually have created a ton of confusion with how they overcomplicate this simple concept of modes.
