  • I think your point that all the scales (blues, harmonic etc aside) and modes are just one shape that we move around is the most important thing ive ever learned about playing the guitar

  • @jacobi2393 Thanks dude, and yes I would agree with you... It is a very simple concept that most teachers neglect to teach because it gives them less to teach ;-)

  • I finally just about almost kinda sorta get it now, maybe.

  • finally, modes acomplished!

  • Brilliant, thanks..........is there any more?

  • Dear Mr. Chappers. I rarely ever comment on Youtube videos, but I have to thank you. The way you explained this concept in this video finally made me understand it, in spite of me struggling to wrap my brain around it for literally an entire year now. You, sir, have earned yourself a new subscriber, and my very most sincere gratitude. Thank you.

  • Chappers, you are my god. Thankyou.

  • Is this like the relative minor thingy?

  • @jacobtheguitarfreak Correct. If you want to hear the unique sound of Dorian...drone a D note and play D Dorian over it. :)

  • I always understood modes as targetting a specific tone as the root. If I wanted to play D Dorian, I would play the notes of the C Major scale with the D as my root because dorian is based off of the second degree of the major scale. Am I correct or has the internet influenced me to a false conclusion?

  • Brilliant lesson - really helped me a lot, so thank you. (Y)
