The Sound Of The 7 MAJOR SCALE MODES - GUITAR SOLOS - Ionian Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian...

[@Captain_JFox]

DUDE THE WAY YOU DID LOCRIAN! I hate it how so many people despise it, but it has so much potential! Thank you!

[@energizer3817]

Every scale has a vibe, and every vibe fits somewhere

[@alfiedj]

Yea dude. The locrian is so interesting.

[@benjaminjudah9415]

Yeah The locrian sounded cool, I like all the modalities of music. I thought the Merging of A Locrian and G aeolian together was a smart choice of modal fusion Considering that they are both in the same scale range, G aeolian is the sixth mode in the Bb major scale and A locrian is the seventh mode in the Bb major scale, so it fits and harmonizes perfectly.

[@emos1113]

Today I have become a huge fan of Locrian mode. 76 years old and only now I know. What have I been missing? Never mind, what I did have has been great!

[@a.b9893]

you nailed the Locrian mode...

[@thetruemusichead]

Locrian and phrygian are my favorites

[@xDonnyx]

When I hear locrian on a guitar I'm always like "oh is that a song by opeth I don't know?".

[@geetbehera3593]

Damn it’s so early opeth sound damn

[@michaelmarshall55]

really liked the locrian solo

[@seanmiller7889]

Very well done. All I always here people say is that 'avoid Locrian as it is shite!' Personally I thought it may have been the most interesting of your examples. Maybe because it really is never used.

[@MattTen]

Really appreciated you comment! 🔥 The locrian mode is little used because it is based on a diminished chord but I also love the feel of it.

[@henriquemontalvao8492]

@@MattTen what's the progression you used for it?

[@KenDWebber]

Locrian uses diminshed chords and its chord progressions do not seem to resolve. They are like a person talking and talking with run on sentences that never reach a point, never reveal any evidence, and have no ending in sight. But you can make music with it. I would think its best use would be trance dance music that just goes on, and on, and on, like a rave.

[@yarlodek5842]

@@MattTen Locrian is awesome. Another great scale that uses a weird chord as its base is the whole-tone scale, an augmented chord.

Questo video mi ha aperto la mente....anni di accademie-lezioni e mai nessuno mi ha fatto sentire le differenze dei sound dei modi di una scala maggiore...solo tanti e noiosi esercizi per non capire poi il vero senso dell'uso dei modi in musica. grazie per questo ottimo video. sei un vero insegnante.

[@MattTen]

Grazie, questo è proprio un bel complimento! 😎

[@emanuelgentile6126]

This was phenomenal, though something that intrigues me is the order you chose to showcase these modes. Anyway, this deserves more attention. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Nice locrian mode, congrats

Wow... that Locrian solo 👀.

Mixo licks were dope!!

[@billdelunalewis7171]

This is brilliant. It was really helpful. Thanks. Good job

[@8478als]

All was great but I LOVED the way you played Phyrgian!! It's my favorite mode!! And I also loved your use of the Locrian!! :)

[@MattTen]

Thank you!

[@onetirtha]

Very nicely illustrated, Matt ❤️

[@gabrielmahutasoit8953]

The A Lydian modes you practiced here is actually more to E ionian-scale (the root A is not dominant, yeah, lydian mode is pretty unstable due to the tritone interval between 1 and #4 notes) The same things happened with A locrian, yeah, this is very unstable due to diminished chord formed by the root. Actually it brings me more to G aeolian. Yeah...tritone interval of 1 and b5 notes made things unstable in the root) Probably holding the bass in A-note will solve these ambiguity problems.

[@jhonesmidtimbang]

That's why I think It needs to stay a lot more or atleast target each modal note interest to actually sounds appropriate.

[@yitlerxyeezus]

yeah. yeah. yeah

[@davidgamel1811]

What is the Locrian backing track? You make the "ugly step child" of modes sound so stellar!

[@zoxxmxnx]

Wo I didn't know that the A mixolydian was this exciting. Nice!

[@gonbysgamesgoneby3636]

Is it necessary to change shirt for each mode in a live context, or is that mainly a studio trick? Also, would paisley work for mixolydian?

[@IsmailBergitar]

Ionian modes vs major scale. You nail it. 👍

[@thetruemusichead]

Lydian and myxolydian remind me of Joe Satriani

[@lucarinaldichini324]

Petrucci as well. He loves myxolydian a lot 😁

[@bradleywhitaker6936]

Your Aeolian example definitely conveys a Gary Moore influence. Idk. Just what I heard I could be wrong

[@moistness482]

Everything is good, but to me lydian sounds like it resolved to ionian and locrian sounds like it resolved to aeolian

[@joselekiwi5695]

What is the diference beetwen an Escale and a mode?

[@MattTen]

it's a very complex question to answer ... maybe I'll do a video on this... Modes derive from the main scales (major scale, harmonic minor, melodic minor) but they all have different structures between intervals and therefore different chord progressions...

[@KenDWebber]

The difference between a scale and a mode is that a mode is a subset of a major scale in which you've moved the tonal center that the song revolves around. A scale is a collection of steps and half steps. A mode is also that, but it plays against a new tonal center. Take C major and shift to D. With D in the bass and the chord progressions now based on D as the One chord you create new chord progressions that have an obviously different "flavor" to compare it to food. To stick with food, imagine a hot dog with a bun and onions. Now imagine a hotdog with chilli and jalapenos with habanero sauce. Both are hot dogs but they're two different beasts. The notes for C Major are the same exact notes you'd have in the D dorian sound but in Dorian you're playing with that heavy drone of a D in the bass and that is going to color how the ear hears things and how you should resolve the chord progressions so that you emphasize the sound of the mode and not the major key you're pulling from.

@@KenDWebber I've always understood this but whereabouts would the harmonic minor and melodic minor and other similar scales fit into this?

Hi, this is all the guitar scales that exist? Thank you

[@MattTen]

No, these are the 7 modes coming from the major scale, there are 7 more for the harmonic minor scale and 7 more for the melodic minor scale. And then there are many other scales, from pentatonic to diminished or exotic scales.

Does modes have major n minor?

[@antinomy1203]

No, minor is just a mode of major scale so its all major modes!

[@JStrange13]

I know this is a couple of months too late, but still. Some of us like to think of modes being 'major' or 'minor' based on the 3rd degree and what kind of chord the Tonic of the mode is. Dorian would be 'minor' then, because it forms a minor triad. Lydian would be 'major'. None of this affects what Key you are in, since the key signature does not change.

[@apbecker]

​@@antinomy1203 That's simply not correct. The tonic chord of the scale will tell you if that scale is considered major or minor (or diminished). "Major": Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian "Minor": Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian "Diminished": Locrian So there are three scales that can be considered "major", another three that can be considered "minor", and one that isn't major or minor (even though the tonic chord has a minor third) because of the flat fifth.

[@lucamcardle729]

Dorian wasnt funky enough

[@ABombs1]

Most of these are wrong though...

[@edgarvanoostrum8450]

That's not Locrian ... You're using G - A - Bb - C - D - Eb - F - G ... that's Aeolian ... Locrian would be G - Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb - F - G

[@MattTen]

Chord progression is Am7(b5) / Gm, the root of the piece is A, so it is absolutely Locrian.

[@edgarvanoostrum8450]

@@MattTen Well, G-Aeolian and A-Locrian are both based on the Bb-major scale, so they both have exactly the same notes (only G-Aeolian starting on the 6th step, and A-Locrian on the 7th step) ... I just hear your phrasing (and the entire Locrian piece) as logically "ending" on G; your melodies all resolve on G as well. The whole problem with the Locrian mode, is that it is very difficult to create a sense of closure, as it lacks a perfect fifth in relation to the root ... Even the root chord itself has no closure, as diminished chords "feel" like they need to go "somewhere" else. For the ear, it's easier to "hear" this piece as resolving to Gm instead of to Am7(b5).

[@ishi_gho9695]

@@MattTen I guess you hear the root as A, but I think most people thought the root was G, and the progression sounded like a iidim to im in G minor. It still sounds great but I wouldn’t call it locrian music.
