Great lesson. Many thanx. I like the way you keep theory to minimum, unlike those next level guitar guys, who are also good, but your way of going about Ionian is better.
thanx ! I`m self taught, I know Ionian,Aeolian,Pentatonic(min. and min.),Mixolydian by heart ! Now I`m learning Dorian and touched on Phyrigian,should I be learning them in a specific order??!!
@PAULOcbi yup . d order is ionian , dorian , phrygian , lydian , mixolydian , aeolian , locrian . c ionian's 2nd degree = d dorian's 1st degree . c ionian's 3rd degree = d dorian's 2nd degree = e phrygian's 1st degree & so on ....
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been playing for 15 years, but I just started understanding this mode stuff this week. If the rhythm chord progression you were playing was in GMaj, then you could play open E position as an Aeolian mode (6th video). I recommend going to google, type in "guitar music theory lessons" and click on the zentao website. Using this video and that website combined helped me understand everything and how to use modes.
Relating the modes. The one´s as explained on this series of videos i get it. But, for example if we use an open E root note, we need to use the modes in a slighty diferent way I guess. I´ve seen on youtube one guy explaining that open E example using the pitch axis theory or whatever that was. And it was coll. Any idea anyone? When using an open E root note?
my approach to you question about using open E is, learn the patterns for playing all the different modes starting with open low E as your root note. By doing this you could play all the way up the neck just like in this video, but starting from an open E. Otherwise you could just start from E on the 12th fret and then keep going higher, or cycle back down below the 12 fret. I'm not sure if this what you were asking, but if it helped you out then bob's your uncle!
i think i get your idea. But for example if we are playing a rhythm patern, say, from G to A, and we want to solo over it. The open E position won´t do it right? We have to play the modes starting from G Ionion, and from there on...all "closed" positions like the one´s we have seen on this series of videos?... I can play the guitar relatively good, but the modes are a bit hard to master...so I guess I can´t play the guitar at all :)
i reread my comment and wanted to clarify a point. "If the rhythm chord progression you were playing was in GMaj, then you could play open E position as an Aeolian mode (6th video)." <--- in the 6th video he plays the E Aeolian scale starting on the 12th fret, but you could play the E Aeolian scale starting on the open E. They're all the same notes, just an octave lower.
Indeed we are in the same boat. I started playing back in 1994, so 15 years of six strings for me either :).
i started trying to learn this stuff a while back, a few mounths ago, but it is kind of hard for me to grasp it all. With a teacher I guess it would be simplier to me. I get the aeolian thing you mencioned (when I read your message I went imediatly to my peace of paper were all the shapes are in :) But the thing with the open stuff...it breaks me down...
I know they are ALWAYS the same notes, but memorizing diferent "shapes" to play them in diferent ways (relating the E open position for example is kind of hard. The closed positions I guess I understand a little. If we are on a note, we just have to play with the diferent shapes (modes) starting from that one note.
But the open one´s... I´ll definetly check the site you mencioned.
Hi bob you are by far the best teacher on the net i realy appreciate your style and mannerisim please keep feeding all of us guitarchallenged fools out her keep rockin
tmib92 you should just figure it out the formula for the scale is W W H W W W H W or just figure it out he gives you the notes for the scale in the begnning
How exactly is this played, in the key of G? If someone could be nice and explain the Tablatures, i see that you hit 3 on the first string and then..? 3-5 on the first string i think, it goes to fast for me :P
please send me a mail, that would be very kind! THANKS!
Dude, if you want to be really good, you've got to spend hours figuring it out like the rest of us! In my day we didn't have fancy youtubes and tabs and what not. We had our ears & our fingers & we figured it out. If we want to be a badass, forget about tab - listen to it 80000 times and figure it out.
No mate this has nothing to do with what era your learning guitar in, tmib92 is just thick. He tells you 1 minute in the notes that are in the scale and the scroll along the screen plain to see. DON'T LEARN PATTERNS AND NUMBERS LEARN NOTES is the simple response. If you are tuned EADGBE then each fret is one note up the scale from the open position, figure it out.
@d4pwn3rz thanks for the response, actually i agree with you as well, i only mentioned this version because thats how he is playing it in the video. more for right hand practice and practicing 3 notes per string
finally a guitar teacher on here who works for me .. I'd teach no differently.
