The Major Scale and the 7 Modes Guitar Lesson Part 2/2 - The Modes

http://www.FuzzyMonkeyTabs.com I created a web page for this guitar lesson at my site. This lesson is about the 7 modes of the major scale. The major scale has 7 notes and if you were to play all the notes in a major scale starting from a note other than the root note (1st note) you are playing one of the 7 modes I show you in this video. I hope it's easy to understand. I also show you some exercises I think are worth practicing.

dude, idk why you don't have a shit tone of views. your videos are amazing and extremly helpful for all skill levels. i just finished learning your tabed fur elise (advanced one) and it impressed me how quick i picked it up. im giving all of my music buddies a shout to check out your videos! have a band you're in that i can check out ?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@NewJerseyTony Thank you for the kind words. It seems like most guitar players are into learning other peoples songs. I think that's why this video gets fewer views than my tab videos.  This video is more for intermediate players you might say.

why do your scale patterns croos 6 to 7 frets when everyone else seems to use 4 or 5 ?

[fuzzymonkey777]

@jwalsh8 I like this way of playing 3 notes per string. You could play the same scale with the exact same notes many different ways.

I never knew what a mode was. So you are just playing a major scale for every note in the key of Cmajor. That is a good way of learning the "in" notes for that key, all over the neck. I never thought of that. For as much as I like music, and for as long as i've been playing, i should have studied this stuff.

keep making these!! theres not a lot out there for us intermediate players...

[acidskiffle69]

Thanks a lot - the best instructional video on scales and modes, and I've searched quite a bit. Clear, simple and comprehensive!

[tangalang01]

hey, when playing major scales...

is it necessary to finish with the same note as the root note

for e.g. C D E F G A B C D instead of C D E F G A B C
