    Jack has got to be the best teacher on the web. His content and presentation are just brilliant. Think we should start a fan club 😊

    I've been playing guitar for 33 years. Self taught. I'm not bad. I'm not exaggerating, when I say that your modes lesson today is the best I've ever seen. Well done. Thank you, sir!

      Actually I already was an ardent fan, and so just one minor and yet not unimportant typo correction = "an ardent fan" should read "a more ardent fan" ;'-)

    Love the clear, well taught intro to modes and beautiful playing examples! One challenge I have found is hearing what the next chord is in a progression. I assume the solution is ear training and practice hearing the chord changes. Thank you again for a wonderful video lesson!

  • @RedLion88

    I shy away from thinking about changing modes with each chord change as it was depicted, but in this case the chords were moving so slowly that you actually could. I think the number one thing that people need to hear is that the progression is carefully chosen to bring out the sound of the mode by including the one note that distinguishes the mode and that was done well here. There may be some confused by the use of parallel modes because it started diatonic to C but then C Lydian made its way in. Maybe we need a video for each mode! 😀

      They still are mostly secretive. They were before RUclips or patreon. Some teachers don’t want their students to be better or as good as them. I notice this for myself , maybe it’s just the teachers I had. But it’s strange.

    What a master tutor you are, Jack. I leard everytime I touch your channel. Of course I knew this, 'cos I'm old LOL, but the way you give it is fresh air. A friend of mine, who start very late to pay attention to theory and some rules, just send me trought WhatsApp: Why, for God's Sake, nobody told this way before!
    I remember a cool composition tip you gave us, in some video here, that made a great way in my blues and soul jams with my old buddies!
    Cheers from Brazil!

  • @koho
    @koho 2 года назад +3

    Jack - great stuff as always!. A question - when you're playing a mode over one of the progression chords, are you thinking "C maj starting on G," or "G mixolydian." This might be helpful for someone like me to know, who understands the modes, but needs to do the work to internalize them and be ready to deploy them.
    (And, that second stage info on which modes are useful in certain progressions is *invaluable*!)
    Thanks!

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 года назад +2

      I think G major with a b7. I'm always thinking about the specific intervals I'm playing and how they sound against the underlying chord.

  • @thachnnguyen
    @thachnnguyen Год назад

    Here's the thing. The first part is great, although I still haven't figured out exactly where the note of a mode is that makes the difference. The latter part is okay, but just like everyone else saying: what you play is dictated by a song's chord progression. I mean, you just can't force a Lydian, say, going from C to D where the song's chord progression is C to Dm. That is to say in that example, you'll just have to wait for a part of a song that has that chord change to play it. Or am I missing something?

  • @thearno2885
    @thearno2885 2 года назад

    The penny dropped for me when I was told that you apply a mode over a pair of chords WITHIN section of a song or a 2 chord groove, not necessarily the whole song. So if you have a groove going with 2 chords e.g G to F then you would use G Mixolydian ( flat 7 is the F).

    @jondurbeckjohannessen2994 Год назад

    Pure gold man. Love your playing! A question if you wouldn't mind. So if you were playing over a 2-5-1 in major. You would visualize dorian on the 2 chord, mixo on the 5 and major on the 1 right? Or would you visualize major through the progression, and highlight chord tones?

    nobody uses harm.Major, nobody knows anything,just void...
    Who created the Harmonic Major, for what purpose?

  • @talisman964

    Forgive my ignorance but you said the 4 chord of C minor was F major?
    I thought it was F minor? Or can we change minor to major?

    So because C Mixo is inside the G Dorian scale could is it wrong to think of the vamp from C7 to Gm in G Dorian?

    How come you didn't specify Dorian would go with a D minor7, min9 etc not a D minor? Regular D minor youd use the Aeolian (natural minor)

  • @permculture
    @permculture 2 года назад +1

    Jack I have a chicken or the egg question. In practice, do you determine the mode and tonal sound that you want the piece to convey and then decide the appropriate chords, or inverse to that do you take the chord progression and decide the appropriate mode for the tone of the chord progression?

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 года назад +1

      If you're trying to figure out what to play on a song, then you'll want to analyze the progression and find what works. But if you're composing something, then it can be cool use modes to find interesting chord choices.

    • @thearno2885
      @thearno2885 2 года назад

      I found it easier to think in terms of pairs of chords and applying a mode to play over. This is usually when you have a repeating groove which might be a section in a song or the whole piece. The confusion arises thinking you need to use a mode for the whole song or just over one chord.

  • @kukumuniu5658
    @kukumuniu5658 Год назад

    4:45 are you sure this is modal music?
    Because it sounds like tonal,and modes in tonal music are ...just "modes" ;)
    solos are always ionian or aeolian,natural major or minor.

  • @danawhite8975
    @danawhite8975 2 года назад

    Hi mr ruch.
    If I’m on the key of C major, for example, and I’m on improvising with the C major scale on the 5 chord, does that mean I’m playing G mixolydian, even if my root note still C?
    Or is it just still c major
    Thank you and cheers! You’re an awesome teacher

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 года назад +1

      It's both. C major and G mixo are the same thing just with different root notes. It just a different way of thinking about the same thing.

  • @waynegram8907
    @waynegram8907 2 года назад

    JACK RUCH, You didn't mention what VAMPS to use for modes like melodic minor, harmonic minor, phrygian dominant mode, phrygian mode? SRV used the heptatonic blues scale to slide into notes using quarter bends from the heptatonic blues scale which you should do a video lesson about quarter bends to nail those blues notes on any scale degree and how to use the heptatonic blues scale to slide into notes
