Can I please get an autographed spiral-bound copy? I sent you an email.

[@MusicDoc]

This book is a MUST have! Thanks for everything, Ricky!

[@reghudson5444]

You are the first person who ever mentioned a correlation between modes and the chord tones of the key; ie major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished. That’s kind of a significant point that so many teachers before you never explained to me. It’s like you just opened the door to a huge room in the house that I never knew was there! Excellent lesson Ricky. Thanks!!

[@rustymohican8280]

Why couldn't any of my guitar lessons have been this good!!! Thank you, thank you, and again, thank you!

[@ClarenceM.-mg8rt]

great lesson!!! bought your book!!! worth every penny, and we get free youtube lessons!!! waiting for book 2!! thanks

[@Delzona]

Damn, this has got to be the best and easiest way to understand modes that I’ve seen! You could’ve called this video “learn your Modes in less than 10 minutes” and it wouldn’t be clickbait!

[@JonathanThirlwell-wr4ce]

Brilliant, thanks for making this stuff so much easier to understand - book sold!

[@waynemorrison5792]

Thanks Ricky! Looking forward to where you go with this!

[@eduardois7003]

Carajo Ricky you are so good teaching that anyone that watches you gets the message, carajo we are so lucky to have you as a teacher....you really get into good music theory.

[@mnbv990]

Brilliantly clear explanation, well done sir.

[@tonedog2020]

You are the master of music theory for guitarists! How is it that no one else teaches like you? I'm totally hooked and ready to buy the book now. Thanks!

[@caryheuchert]

This video is one of those double (!!) eureka moments!! Thanks again, Ricky!!

[@bumblebee9875]

Suddenly my guitar playing went from black and white to colour!! Thank you so much Ricky. EYUP!!

[@jonahguitarguy]

I found that very helpful Ricky. Gotta save this lesson until I can get to a guitar.

[@ВладимирПрименко-о5б]

That's really cool. You can play easily moving from pentatonics to modes and back again with almost no hesitation.

[@richardjamescave]

What a refreshingly simple way of explaining modes! Brilliant!

[@shalomshalom735]

what an incredible channel and such a great video. For years I'm looking for a way to simplify this and finally this helped! truly helpful lesson and great channel !!!

[@surbhiagarwal2322]

Modes reside within any major key - if you play the C major scale starting from next note - we get D dorian, E phrygian, F Lydian and so on. Music's interconnectivity always amazes me !

[@ricomajestic]

It is not just starting from the next note that gives you the next mode. The tonal center is what has to shift to the next note. So if the tonal center is C then you are in C Ionian but if you take that same scale and the tonal center shifts to the D note then it becomes a D Dorian mode. The harmony also needs to shift to bring out the dorian flavor.

[@surbhiagarwal2322]

@@ricomajestic I never said that the tonal center shouldn't change. when you start from the next note, say D Dorian, you end on it too, the next octave shifting ahead. It's easier to connect this way. But yes, in the context of playing, if you don't want to change the key and instead modulate to another mode, it's good to bring out the differences from other modes, say how Mixolydian is the same as Ionian, with a flat 7th

[@Dave-gf3kd]

That is an AMAZING presentation!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

[@rasbabo5319]

Awesome lesson! Been watching other Guitar youtube teachers for years. Wish I would have found you first. Best, easiest to understand lessons ever! You are the best guitar teacher I have seen!

[@davidatyson]

Book is amazing!!! I reference it frequently ❤

[@rickysguitar]

Super stoked to hear that David. Writing a new one now! I appreciate you supporting my mission to teach guitar to as many people as I can!

[@marklazarus1356]

Опять гениально простое объяснение от Рика, замечательно!

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you Ricky.

[@rickysguitar]

You’re welcome buddy!

[@ShaunPanzer]

I got your book Ricky! You are a fantastic teacher ! Thanks

[@rickysguitar]

Thanks for buying my book Shaun, super appreciate your support. Ricky

[@TheInterGalacticFederation]

helpful video when i am just learning about modes on guitar. would like to see the lower red notes of TAB drawn in for each mode - hopefully in the next video

[@DiegoApunto]

Best video ever on modes!!! Thank you SO MUCH, Ricky! You are my hero!

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Diego! Super stoked you enjoyed it. More like this coming soon!

[@shreeniable]

The bell in my head rang when you showed ionion. MANNNN!!!

[@randywollin5732]

Great lesson Ricky, you have finally made me understand modes. Because of my history there is a lot of the notes and chords and moving around the fret board has left me baffled but you are slowly bringing me up to speed.

[@kenhazlin5860]

Excellent and clear. Thank you Ricky!

[@cryptotharg7400]

Yes, thanks. Very good stuff indeed.

[@toddshepard3592]

Bingo. This did it for me. Thank you !

[@rickysguitar]

Great news Todd!

[@jcwoodshop]

Fantastic introduction to modes 😀

[@robnic52]

Wow, incredible lesson Ricky. Thanks, once you start playing modes and get used to the sound, its quite easy to apply it to the other four strings then keep going. Looking forward to your chords for modes video.

[@YonathanMizrachi]

IMPORTANT. Fantastic lesson. You must add the word Modes to the Title. No clue that this is a Mode lesson !!!!!

[@rickysguitar]

Erm…It’s in the thumbnail…

[@rajeshgumber363]

Nice Rickey! I'll be honest with you "I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot!

I see what you did there Raj haha 😂

Genius!💕🙌🏾

[@randywollin5732]

Really love the way uou explain things Ricki but I dont know where you are at on the frets. When you switched, where were you at to the root note between the two boxes? The first was a G but when you changed to the pinky on the root was it also on the G or did you move up to a different root?

[@guruofendtimes819]

VG lesson. Pls explain the caged shapes. For instance:G is not a standard G chord shape

[@rickysguitar]

Already done that in this video 5 Shapes Great Guitar Players Know (But You Don’t) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3LGgZSvebB6nck

[@johnmac8084]

Hi Ricky what about the other four strings? Is that explained in the other videos you referred to? I couldn't see the link to those videos that you mentioned

[@rickysguitar]

Apart from mirroring the E strings you don’t need to think about the other strings. The big rectangle does all the work for you! There’s a playlist at the end of the video you need to tackle first to really extract how this all connects. More videos coming soon!
