The Major Scale and the 7 Modes Guitar Lesson Part 2/2 - The Modes

[bloodydeath808]

u should get a job as a guitar teacher

You're a God.

[flubno]

I never knew what a mode was. So you are just playing a major scale for every note in the key of Cmajor. That is a good way of learning the "in" notes for that key, all over the neck. I never thought of that. For as much as I like music, and for as long as i've been playing, i should have studied this stuff.

keep making these!! theres not a lot out there for us intermediate players...

[acidskiffle69]

Thanks a lot - the best instructional video on scales and modes, and I've searched quite a bit. Clear, simple and comprehensive!

[tangalang01]

hey, when playing major scales...

is it necessary to finish with the same note as the root note

for e.g. C D E F G A B C D instead of C D E F G A B C

[pskerries]

Fantastic video,Thanks!

[StrikeEagle211]

Thanks for the video. I haven't learned much theory. This helps a lot. Thanks again.

[flcl59]

no dis likes tis a great video btw

[downhill240]

I really appreciate your great lessons. I am a little below the intermediate but I'm learning and having fun doing it!

[NewJerseyTony]

dude, idk why you don't have a shit tone of views. your videos are amazing and extremly helpful for all skill levels. i just finished learning your tabed fur elise (advanced one) and it impressed me how quick i picked it up. im giving all of my music buddies a shout to check out your videos! have a band you're in that i can check out ?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@NewJerseyTony Thank you for the kind words. It seems like most guitar players are into learning other peoples songs. I think that's why this video gets fewer views than my tab videos. This video is more for intermediate players you might say.

[jwalsh8]

why do your scale patterns croos 6 to 7 frets when everyone else seems to use 4 or 5 ?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@jwalsh8 I like this way of playing 3 notes per string. You could play the same scale with the exact same notes many different ways.

[SuperDC45]

This video has helped me so much. Keep 'em coming!

[fuzzymonkey777]

@SuperDC45 Sweet, I'm glad to hear it. 8-)

[mike25virgo]

[trishaj73240]

you are awesome man! really helpful but one question. how important would it be for me to know this if i am learning finger style without a teacher?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@trishaj73240 This stuff is more for people who are ready to write their own stuff or who are looking for some more understanding. You may want to come back to this at a later date. 8-)

[fogertyfans]

Thanks for this video. It's a very interesting video. I do an exercise like this every day but with this lessons I am sure I will improve my speedy on the guitar.

[fuzzymonkey777]

@fogertyfans Cool, thanks for checking it out.

[realjuvelive]

Overall you mean they are for practicing solo riff or something like that right ?

what should I know to right a song then ?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@realjuvelive I think at a minimum you could write songs just by knowing some chord progressions. For instance you could write a song with a chord progression like C major F major G major then F major. But if you knew what chords were in a major key you'd have more understanding and it would be easier for you to write. I will make a lesson on the Chords that are in a major key. For instance C major has C Dmin (min means minor) Emin F G Amin. These chords are a good starting point

[realjuvelive]

mmm what is the purpose of that I haven't heard that before ? I don't think that I have to learn them !

[fuzzymonkey777]

@realjuvelive No, you could easily get away with not learning the modes. It's a way of being able to play the same scale at different locations on the guitar. That's the greatest advantage for me. I like to solo in the Ionian Lydian and Mixolydian modes. All the modes I've shown have the same 7 notes. But when you play those same 7 notes at different locations on the guitar you can discover some inspiring fingering patterns. But yeah it's not something you HAVE to know to write a song.

[soratms71]

am i the only one who thought of scrubs when i heard "dorian"?

either way thanks for the video lesson! =D

[fuzzymonkey777]

@soratms71 That's cool. When I hear the Aeolian mode I think of inspector gadget.  8-) Really those first 5 notes must be spot on.

[unchaineddrag8n]

I was waiting for this followup!

Very neatly done, just lost me a bit when skipping notes so i had to rewind lol!

Got lotsa practicing to do!

Thanks for the video!

[fuzzymonkey777]

@unchaineddrag8n Awesome. I'm making the web page for this vid right now. I know rewinding and pausing can be a pain. Thanks for my first comment. 8-)
