Ricks not old

[@yjmsrv]

So how I always look at this- moving through the Blues Changes in a dominant key- is the tonic is mixolydian- the subdominant (IV) is Dorian of the Tonic- the Dominant (V) is Ionian of the Tonic- so in G you play G Mixolydian- then G Dorian- then G major (Ionian) and you get all the proper scales- just land on the notes of the chord that's being played. If you know your intervals- you should be able to figure out what the 1,3,5,7 are of each chord as you change scales pretty easily. That's essentially what Rick is doing here- playing Mixolydian of each chord- G Mixolydian, C Mixolydian and D Mixolydian- which works out in G as the above "G" related scales relative to G as the tonic. Helped me to figure that out several years ago.- The cool thing about this approach is without playing the chords you can hear the chord changes through a solo as you move from one scale to another.

[@yjmsrv]

@Desa & Music Exactly- G Mixo- G Dorian and G Ionian- relative to G.

[@ThePandaGuitar]

I've been playing on and off for a long time but whenever I watch a video of yours, I feel excited to play the guitar again. Thank you!

[@SamBellGuitar]

Great lesson, thanks Rick! My first Guitar Tutor used to hammer this concept at me all the time. Used to scare the shit out of me, still does sometimes, but it is essential like you say!

[@Kenjimk11]

Thankyou rick for all your lesson :)

To be honest I was only doing fairly well, but watching this lesson bumped me up into the extreeeemely well zone. Thanks for the upgrade. ;-)

[@chuckmcfadden6782]

Thank You, Rick. You're an amazing guitarist!

[@boogiejed5485]

I discovered this idea years ago- it makes perfect sense but it's taken me an insane amount of hours of work - but it's slowly now beginning to bear fruit although it still takes me full on concentration to not get lost in the myriad different fingering as the carousel of chord changes swing round and round in real time ..!!! The icing on the cake is to always be targeting the root 3rd or 5th on each chord - .. Thanks Rick - brilliant lesson

[@rockstarjazzcat]

Good to hear you, doing extreeeeeeeeeeeemly well, mate!

[@joelflmartinho]

Thanks for taking the time for this lesson. This gives indeed very interessing ways of exploring the fretboard! Cheers Rick!

[@FabioPeruchi]

Sweet Rick! I always loved play chords and improvising solos staying at the same fretboard area using the CAGED system as base for it. This guitar lesson is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemelly perfect! Thanks a lot. Cheers!

[@anthonymichel4660]

Fantastic my friend I can't wait to try everything out I had a bad accident a few months ago to my left hand and this left me unable to play. I hope the surgeon will be able to repair the tendon in my ring finger so I'm able to use it again. Your lessons have given me the inspiration to get back to playing again. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us...

[@victormccoy5511]

Wow, so simple, yet so powerful, thanks so much for your time and help! Great lesson!

[@MimicDaravon]

Excellent lesson. I'd love more of the same with other common chord progressions, as it's often difficult (for me) to work out voicings that sound good for each chord when staying in one position.

[@cbeserra]

I’ve had this lesson many times, but one more time is always a good thing. For me. I like your examples.

[@jonimunukka9238]

Rick's favourite sentence: 'I'm digressing again'

BIG THANKS MAN INDEED THE BEST LESSON I EVER HAD!!!!!!

[@pereztube2]

how to do choose what scale "fits" with the chords? like why play G mixo instead of G major or G Lydian?

[@jmc6326]

G Mixolydian makes the most sense of the three because it has a major third and a flat 7th, just like the chord you're playing over. The major seventh in both of the scales you mentioned would rub the flat seven in the chord the "wrong" way (if you like that sound, by all means play it! There's no real right or wrong, just what you like.) Lydian dominant would actually be a cool sound over it too (like lydian, but with a flat seven). As a rule of thumb, it's nice to grab a scale that has the chord tones, and then you can raise or lower the other notes of the scale however you like. I hope this helps, and have a good one!

[@pereztube2]

@@jmc6326 Oh that makes sense. thank you.

[@axelrodriguez4327]

No matter what you tell us we will never have those fingers

[@ScottGailor]

Very well done.

[@CarlosFlores-ty7dy]

Hello Rick. So, how did you find out what scales to play with each chord? I get why you play G Mixolydian over the I chord. But how did you figure out the other ones for the C (IV) and the D (V)?

[@CarlosFlores-ty7dy]

@@Various_Artist oh ok.. because usually we guitarists are wrongly taught the modes.. most teachers teach the modes using 3NPS system and applying to G Mayor for example, and then relating each of G modes with specific patterns, rather than explaining the specific interval relations that make up a certain mode in a musical context. In the end, do I only need to find the right scale mode that fits the chord that im playing right?

[@moonkef]

@@CarlosFlores-ty7dy Yes but you can use several diatonic modes over the dom7th. It's all about chords and the changes. What you actually decide to use depends on the music, the tempo, the style, lots of things. Dominant chords are ambiguous so you can make various scales work, mixolydian contains the b7 and is the actual scale for the job but you only really have to consider the 4 triads and the dominant 7th. So maj, min, aug and dim triads, and dom7. Learn the modes and the triads they work with and off you go! I dont really see the point of caged, just learn all the modes of C major in every key and you end up with the same outcome.

[@run4buck]

[@ibanez1683]

Is the scale the same for each chord or does the scale degrees change making them a different scale for each?

[@evalex71]

[@jamesjones-rp6cl]

It's a flat 7 in the mixolydian scale why do you say flaten the 6th ???? Im trying to teach myself theory and that flaten the 6th statement I've definitely heard before because I had it written down are you not counting the route note for some reason or what ??? Someone anyone please respond, lol

[@oscarwagner4515]

How do i know which scale to use over any chord?

[@MindsetMastery75]

This was my question. Glad i'm not the only one. Lol.

[@tom434911]

This is where knowing your theory comes in. If you know how the chord is constructed (the intervals that make up the chord) and you know your scales the same way, then you'll know which are compatible, because the intervals found in the chord will match those in the scale. In this video, all the chords are dominant 7 chords, common in blues. A dominant 7 chord is a major triad (root, major third, perfect fifth) with an added flat 7 interval. This makes the mixolydian mode the scale of choice, since it is a major scale (has a major 3rd) and also a flat 7 as opposed to the major scale with its major 7. Doing this means you are changing keys with each chord change. G mixolydian is the key of C, D mixolydian is the key of G, etc. Hope this helped!

[@MindsetMastery75]

@@tom434911 I do know how chords are constructed and how scales are constructed. However, when it comes to playing the correlating scales from different chords from different starting notes. I get very confused very fast. If i sit with it long enough, i will figure it out. But it would be nice to know how Rick looks at it to figure out the proper shapes.

[@MindsetMastery75]

@@tom434911 I guess where i am getting lost is because these are all 7th chords. I am more used to the Major scales and the minor scale. So starting as your 5 as your 1 is where i'm getting confused with the rest of the shapes. Because with the G being the 1 chord. Since its a 7th chord, we are using the 5 shape (Mixolydian). So you have to correspond all the other shapes using the MIxolydian as your 1 chord and scale. Thats where i am getting confused anyway. Its like a mind bender for me.

[@oscarwagner4515]
