lesson's alright, it's just that he doesn't make very practical use of the sampled scale and triads. i def would have given a better score if the examples were more practical.

why do u flatten the 7th to f natural?

[kenhv74]

I swear I almost thought his last name was Funaki.

@chancewaak if its G mixolydian, its D minor... because its the Dorian mode at D. minor 3rd bro

[SickwaxMusic]

@bmr21021975

the moxolydian has a major 3rd and minor 7th (flattened 7th)

this is derived from the modes of a ionian major in guys example C Ionian (natural major)

Good leson and if you would explain where you are on the fret board using the CAGED sequence even better. So u r in the A shaped diatonic box moved to the mixolidian scale in G. Then you snag those triads out of that box. People usually play in a box or a lead pattern but teachers always use notes when explaining and never mention the box you’re in. Yo, keep it simple do step 1 before you go to step 4. It save a student like me time.

@edzevedo ...actually A minor-Cmajor-Dmajor chord progression is in the key of G.First establish what key your in...then look at the 7 notes that make up that key. Then starting with the root note...map out your modes. Example: Key of G is G,A,B,C,D,E,F# the first mode would be G Ionian...second mode would be A Dorian....third B Phrygian and so on.

@edzevedo If you're in A Aeolian/natural minor, then you would play a minor chord when you get to D in the chord progression, not major. The Dorian mode is played over D in the key of A minor. The modes go like this: A Aeolian/natural minor (minor chord), B Locrian (diminished chord), C Ionian/relative major (major chord), D Dorian (minor chord), E Phrygian (minor chord), F Lydian (major chord), and G Mixolydian (major chord).

Question!!..If i'm playing a chord progression in the key of A minor, and the chords are A minor-C major and D major, what mode or modes could be played on that D major, if i'm playing Aeolian on that A minor key?..I'm a little confused!..it sounds like i'm playing D Mixolydian or A Dorian, could Marty or somebody please explain it!!!
