I find this video to be superb since not only does he clearly and articulately explain all of the modes in a concise and easy to understand manner, explores the alternative possibilities of the hidden triads within the modes, yet also gives progressions one can use to solo these modes, making the modes useful and applicable. Many teachers merely explain the modes, but don't give practical applications for them. Jake does this, making this tutorial of Harmonic Minor modes stand out above many other tutorials.

Jake: "I'm trying to drag out anything usable from this scale" *writes a gorgeous progression with a beautiful solo*
@dudeman53033 жыл бұрын
To be fair he's just using two chords that are characteristic of that mode, each mode has specific intervals that are characteristic of it. When the chords are heard showing those specific intervals, it informs you which mode it is and makes it easier to solo with odd modes. Like with the Lydian mode, it's a major scale but with a sharp 4th so when you want to give the cue that you're in Lydian you'd play a major chord with an added sharp 4th to show it's lydian, and then you'd play the Lydian mode over it with added focus on the major triad arpeggio with the added #4. The chord combinations he's choosing come from that, if you've got an odd scale that you want to make sound more natural you put chords based on that mode in the progression with those "characteristic notes" and it then makes those notes a part of the "tonal center".
@kkarx3 жыл бұрын
@Dude Man The thing is it is the specific mode only if you play it over the tonic chord so using just one chord makes perfect sense. Jake used two chords for each demonstration so he in fact played two modes.... If you play the same scale over all 7 chords you'll play all 7 modes. They change naturally. It might be quite confusing
@nandorondelli50033 жыл бұрын
I really like your choice of demonstrating all these modes taking the same note as root instead of always using the notes of A harmonic minor to build what would be B Locrian 6, C Ionian #5 etc. I've seen lots of people struggling with modes when they´re presented using all the same notes (like C Ionian, D dorian, E phrygian etc), because their ears just keep gravitating towards that first root note. Building all these modes from A, in my opinion, highlights the differences in sound so much more precisely! Great video!

Great points! I don't blame your ear for hearing the actual tonic there - in an "actual composition", i'd probably to to spend way more time on the iv chord in order to fool you into hearing that as the tonic.

Anybody else hear a little David Bowie "Outside"-era feel in the backing tracks? I've not analyzed that ridiculously well-crafted record(s), but I'd be willing to bet Reeves Gabrels, Mike Garson, and the other musicians on those sessions knew their way around these modes too. Thanks for another very well-done video!

Thanks, Jake!!! I so often use these modes together Diatonically (regardless of which one I decide to start with), so the more of them I learn, the better!!!! This "slow" opening Theory Section is pure gold!!!!

One of the interesting things I noticed during this is that you don't mention the fact that in a particular orientation, the Diminished 7th chord has a diatonic note available that's one semitone below the chord root. This actually comes up in your jam track under the Phyrigian Dominant scale, where you Bbdim7/A is playing that note one semitone below as well. With that note as the root, the whole chord becomes A7b9, which is how some music theorists see the Diminished 7th chord. You can convert the dim7 to a 7b9 working from any of the 4 notes, but that root note would not be diatonic to the scale (this isn't always a bad thing!), and there may be an enharmonic spelling mistake that you need to think about (nor is this!), similar to the one with the F minor chord in A Harmonic Minor.

I like where you are going with this. That biiº chord over the tonic is one of my favorite sounds and i never really parsed it as a 7b9 chord! it's funny too cause i did a whole video on how viiº7 is just really a V7b9 without a root.... but i never put it together in the sense of just hanging out on a tonic and then playing a biiº on top.

@@SignalsMusicStudio I actually discovered that chord when writing something in Dorian #4, where I put a G# in the bass on a D#dim7 chord, and was confused as to why it sounded so good (and better than any other bass note I tried to "fix" it with)... This chord (G#7b9) is one of the ones with a spelling mistake (the C should be spelled as B#), but that not too much of a practical concern. A small note on chord voicings: notes a semitone apart can sound very rough when played together, especially in the bass. For the A7b9, Bb should probably not be the second lowest note in the chord, unless it's at least an octave away from the A, and even then it might still sound a little weird. Both C# and E are good places to start stacking notes from, here.

You lost me when you said harmonic minor has a natural 7 and not a sharp 7.
@SignalsMusicStudio3 жыл бұрын
i will get torn apart if I call it a sharp seventh. "natural seventh" means the seventh note of the major scale. but yes, we did take the seventh note of our aeolian scale, and sharp it. so i get what you're saying but the tradition is to call it a natural seventh and not a sharped seventh.

Yay! Thanks for covering this! My most recent composition uses a few of these modes (though I go kinda polymodal so they don't get as much a pure sounding at any one time) But there's so much room to explore these tonalities and I'm glad you'll part of people's journey into this/these directions.

This is my favourite scale, so it was awesome to see someone go in depth with it and learn more about it, as well as find out examples of songs that I had written which had referenced a few of these modes (was shocked to find I had used Lydian #2) Your videos on the modes of the diatonic scale literally got me through music school. Thank you so much for these and I hope to see more to come
