@tommy8247 He meant raised 6th from a minor scale. But yes, it is flat3 flat6 from as major scale
-
@BellumSacrumBellum28 Yes. But, I think people get obsessed with the scales and forget about the chords. Everything relates to the chord that your playing over which is why knowing the arpeggios is probably more important.

@dirkmcgurk49010 Dorian is flat3 flat7 not raised 6
-
@gerwinong HE IS IN KEY OF G

i'd say the dorian is probably my favorite mode. the raised 6th makes it really pop
-
@berlits well not in the grand scheme of things. However, learning the positions is the first step towards using the modes fluently in your playing. Without knowing the positions, you could never use them to spice up your playing.. EVER! haha :)

F# not E# :)

Instead of saying the "one and a two and a" pattern, why don't you just say it's in Triplets, or 16th note Triplets? cause that's what they are.

Robert, I want to get this straight. Originally in lesson One,we started the major scale(Ionian) in G,and the key of G has one sharp(F#),GABCDEF#. Now,we are building the next scale starting on the second note of the original GMajor scale, which begins on the A note.Since we now start on the A note, do we call this scale A Dorian, even though initially we began in G Major? Meaning A Dorian scale is now the VERY SAME NOTES as in G Major, only starting and ending in a different pattern (ABCDEF#G)?
Good stuff man. I'm completely self taught and I've been playing by ear for YEARS. But I've gotten stagnate because I think I've gone as far as I can go as a self taught guitarist. After looking at a few of your vids, I realize I need learn theory and scales to get to the next level. THANKS FOR THE POST!
