I liked your free lesson but at times it was a bit difficult to follow ...it would be better if there were some thinkness in the strings of we would know which way is the 6th to the 1st string shown in the diagram, also if the notes that you were playing where highlited on the diagram while you were playing so we can follow along with you...if thos things were in your lesson, I would buy...your method is inventive...I like it

@guitarsinheat Thanks buddy!

That one is old, you should take a look at my Applied Theory For Guitar Players on my site guitarplayback(dot)com :-)

hey wallimann, great videos by the way, but i have a question, i'm nearly understanding the concept of modes now, but I'm unsure why you don't talk about locrian? I've heard its not very nice sounding? because i know that the shapes are say C Ionian then D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian then B Locrian. So if i wanted to move down a position/pitch from the 'C Ionian' 1st position backwards to the 7th postion (The B Locrian 1st scale shape) would it make sense in practice?

[Wallimann]

@BucketheadCleary Thanks! I left that one out because you don't find the minor pentatonic scale inside. If you liked this you might enjoy my "Applied Theory For Guitar Players" package on my site guitarplayback(dot)com

It explains everything from intervals to modes and will answer all your questions. :-)

i can hear a real heavy gate/compression on the dialog, seems like the attack or the release is turn up to much, really informative vids, cheers

[Wallimann]

@jimadrummer Thanks a lot! Yeah, those old videos lacked good microphones hence the gate. New ones are better though! :-)

You really understood the way our (guitarists) mind is working and having the Penta as baseline for all the others simplifies it... thanks a lot

A very, very useful lesson. Seeing how the different modes fit in with the Pentatonic helps a great deal - thanks.
