  • Inserting a TAB with this lesson would have been very helpful.

  • dam cant i find someone who can elaborate these modes in a more simpler way i dunno maybe showing it in slow motion

  • @markway16

    sorry for replying so late, but what he's saying is this, modes are simply the same scale, just played starting from other notes in that scale. so we'll take the key of c major because it has no sharps or flats, so c ionian is c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c, whereas a aeolian would be a,b,c,d,e,f,g,a. there is one mode per note. hopefully that made a little bit of sense.

  • @markway16 it isnt what he's playing that is the lesson.. its the concept.. if you dont know your basic minor major scales yet then definitely dont learn the modes yet

  • all along the watch tower!

  • every time i watch one of your lessons i learn more and more, so if i,am in the key of G MAJOR,i can play any one of those modes in that key Iwill land on a G note for my key note am i some what right ,and thanks for the videos

  • Haha Sorry, But the beginning is like.. Guitar in 60 seconds, then i look at the length, and its 6 mins long. Thought it was ironic. But thanks for putting this up! Big help.

  • Just out of interest, when you went up the neck showing the scale pattern shapes for he modes, you only showed six patterns, why did you miss one out?

  • It looks like the "7th" shape would just be the "1st" shape again

  • to start off maybe

  • He showed 5 shapes, cause he also "left out" the 4th, its not the number of the fingering but of the notes referring to their number in the G-major scale....he also did not show the seven modes but all notes of the g-major scale spread over the neck, comprimated in these 5 fingerings

    And the "7th shape" as Cyan2002 called it and you asked for, would be originally the "8th" shape, and is one octave above the first fingering, so its just the 1st one twlve frets higher.

  • ima go get my guitar now

  • cool , thank you! your lesson really helped

  • I know what he is playing

  • such a saucy video! my names Allison, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ PLAY-CAM...dot...COM __ my user ID there is Allison_givhx chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah

  • pish !!!!!

  • it sucks

  • I envy that neck. The nitro finish looks beautiful

  • good lesson, its amazing how many people dont know this

  • maybe. ive been playing for 3 years, and i only started theory a few weeks ago (i dont think berklee likes you if you cant show them a scale or two :p) and i gotta say the hardest thing is turnign the theory into good playing, its a common obstacle. and the edge probably could tell you the modes, seeign as he uses them himself. its just how you use them. look at guitarists liek john petrucci, joe satriani and all those guys. fantastic players and they can tell you exactly what their doing

  • I agree, I have about the same time playing and I recently turned into theory, and the hard part is to get the scales and the modes sounding like music.

  • Nice job, man. Really nice job, modes made simple. Congrats!!!!

  • I,m sure he knows theory and stuff and he seems like a nice guy but a hot geetar player he is not,i would wager some of the best and well known licks guitar players love, came from the heart and ones own imagination, Do you think the 'edge' knows what a dorian fifth blah blah is, Nuff said.

  • Thats true man, ive seen this myself, the ratio agaianst guitarist with loads of theory compared to ones with less theory is like 75:25. But the ratio to those that can play from their own imagination and those that cant is 0:100 lol

  • damn haters, good job man!

  • so apart from wanting to saw of my ears with a dull knife, i want to never play guitar again.

  • Your realy good man, i hope one day i will be able do all that .. lol o-o'

  • u suk

  • He doesnt understand anything he is just repeating jargon.

  • sorry dude, that is totally wrong and right at the same time. Modes exist for a reason, playing those 'same notes' and ignoring modes is the easy approach. This is an example of someone who doesnt quite understand modes and you can tell in his guitar solos...there bland....sorry, is true

  • i don't think he's ignoring modes, i think he's just showing beginners how to play. GASP

  • thanks for this man im getting the idea

  • god fenders suck

  • you are a fender

  • Great approach. Very helpful.

  • super cool!!! thanks man!
