I think my problem was i was trying to play Dorian Blues in a 3 notes per string fashion, & it came out sounding like Em shred rather than Blues, but this has helped me see it as more of a way of extending the standard pentatonic shapes & adding more flavor..
I think its important to point out what he basically is layering G major scale notes over a typical A minor pentatonic scale and A blues scale. He points this out, but forgets to keep reminding what he is doing as he goes along. This guy is a great teacher.
You're the man Justin! You are the best teacher ever! Of course I must think of it as a minor pentatonic and add the notes, I always use the G-major-patterns, like you said not to. Because I find it tiering when every mode just sound the same, only the same old licks in the same old major-scale-patterns. I never really got this after so much studies... Thanks a lot man, keep up the extremely good work! Peace!
Satch also uses the "always play three note per string" approach for the really fast parts. It's more advznced because at some points you have to cover 5 frets with 4 fingers. Also there will be 7 instead of 5 positions.
But don't worry, most of his blues oriented licks (watch?v=CgUwD9e8uNM ) are similar to what is explained in Justins video.
1) Since it does in fact change the tonality it makes me think that the inclusion of the B and F# now can ALLOW the linkage other notes when playing in Am pentatonic which maybe? leads to a more jazzy influence?
I learn best by just playing around the fretboard but then my technical side WANTS TO KNOW what the heck is going on and THATS WHERE JUSTINS EXCELLENT TEACHING SKILLS HAVE HELPED GREATLY
I totally agree w/you there... I've learned to play decent guitar through experience, but I think it's best that we should know what the heck we are playing in actual music
Why oh Why doesn't your third finger get all tangled up with the string above the one you are bending like mine always does? I always catch the one above and when I let go I get this awful thunk.
As always, thanks for sharing. You're the greatest.
Actually they are named after ancient tribes. 4 of them, Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians and Locrians (of who the respective modes were named after), were of greek origin.
so it's basically that "hybrid blues scale" you showed before? Thanks a lot btw awesome vids!

Great lesson J. I'm not sure,is Satch using this aproach in his blues licks? This is gonna be my favorite scale

lol Satriani knows every friggin mode like the back of his hand...not just dorian. One of the quirks of being a proper music school graduate I guess.

I remember in theory class one of my friend's came up with a pnemonic for all of the modes. "I DOn't PHeel LYke Modes Any Longer"
Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian. Unfortunately, it's not in order, but hopefully that will help out someone :)

I never thought of the Dorian mode this way..the only diff is the 6th and the 9th degrees. Brilliant, as usual.

According to my guitar teacher at School all those modes are named after Greek islands. apart from one or two.

Actually they are named after ancient tribes. 4 of them, Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians and Locrians (of who the respective modes were named after), were of greek origin.
Ps: It happens to be Greek myself by the way ;)
