  • Marty. . . I have an idea. you know that loop that you played in the very beginning of the video? Record two hours straight of you soloing over that. . . broadcast it over the speakers. . . and then, when everyone is hypnotized and spacing out and listening to the beautiful music, you can take over the world. Seriously, I would let you.

    Cream- Politician

    I love this theory shit!!

    Thanks Marty!

  • Ah.... use the Pinky to switch! Damn....

  • even when you are high you teach great

  • Your seriously my role model in the guitar world...I love your playing! Just ordered your dvd's...can't wait!

  • gdamn marty.. stfu.. lol jk just such good theory and life behind ur playin... keep it up soulman

  • Is this Marty spelled like Party?!?

    Nice meeting you in Vegas!

  • very talent teacher,easy to understand,thanx Marty!

  • Go buy Jimmy Bruno's "No nonsense jazz". You'll understand and play all the modes in a week or even less. It's very easy, made for dummies like me :-)

  • jea... I liked it.... I only have a very small tip, (if I may)

    I know you knwo this but try to see and explane the V7 (#9 etc) at 3:57 as a DOMINANT chord with the alterations, that I call HMV (Harmonic Minor Dominat)... What I'm trying to say is that I dont see it as a A Harmonic Minor over D7#9 but more as a D Dominat witht the HMinor alterations... I know it's the same but it helps me know where I'm in the song, and where I'm going with it... Keep posting... thanks

  • Hey kevlar1818, exactly! That's what I keep hearing and it's definately messing with me. So even while playing in different modes over an A, you still use the A as the root?

  • great,great video. thank you.

  • try thinking of the modes as pentatonic scales with 2 added notes i didnt learn them that way but now that i know em it makes sense...

  • really nice lesson--love the sound you have! thanks

  • hi.. may i know uhhmm. what mode do you usually use in blues, rock, jazz, and all kind of genre' in its most effective way.. and do you mind showing me a tab. coz my head gets round and round everytime i use my guitar and play. but when i play i just get it all missed up... what will i do marty... T_T and also, i know major scale. but when i think of modes i get out of the track, and get confused.. huhuhu can u help me.?? i will really appreciate it.. Thank you..

  • Lots of people like to say "Modes are just the major scale on a different root", and it just messes with the beginning guitar player.

    Think of modes of just as separate scales. Each mode offers a different FEEL to a piece of music:

    Dorian: minor key - eerie, funky, latin-style

    Aeolian: minor key - sad, somber, gritty

    Mixolydian: major key - happy, funky, bluesy

    Those are the three big ones. Pentatonic is key to all of them though, so learn that first if you haven't already!

    Hope this helped.

  • great teacher you are my friend.

  • You have such a fluid style.

  • Hey Marty

    This is a fantastic vid-so much cool information, not just the main topic but all the little sneaky snippets, like the bit about the aeolian note vs the dorian note. Keep up the good work!!

    Take care
