    Instead of learning thousands of scale shapes, why not just learn how to use the ones you already have? In this lesson, I'll be demonstrating how one tiny little scale shape can be wielded with infinite power to create all 7 different modal tonalities.
    Hopefully this helps you all realize that whatever scale shapes you've learned are totally usable for any sort of modal playing. You just have to really understand the idea of modal tonality.
    This is the third video where the prime goal is to help people understand modes, however this is speciically geared towards guitarists. The other two modal videos can be found here-

      Thank you brother, I am learning theory, now on 7-chords, this video is very good! This building modes on example of C-mixolidian in F-major, i tried to build C-major natural from C-mixolidian an d now see the difference , 7th half tone down, and I am starting seeing notes instead of shapes. I mean it seems that shapes are important just to remember on automatic level like some default major or minor scale how it builds, but the sounding of scales and modes and how they relate that is more important and this is looking like majic, opens doors to improvising thank you!

    Finally, someone who uses the word "tonality" correctly! Too many use the word tonality to describe tone colour or timbre. Tonality is, simply put, whether something sounds major or minor. This is good music education as well as a great guitar tutorial. Well done Jake!

    • @TheCyberSatyr
      @TheCyberSatyr Год назад

      What other terms would you use to describe the tone color or timbre? Since they have to do with tone, I would imagine they fall under tonality as a blanket category. Otherwise, why would microtonal fretted guitars exist?
      Im seriously asking (because I really dont know, as of right now).
      I stand by what I said about tonality though, because its literally dependent on the individual schema surrounding the topic.

    • @mal9948
      @mal9948 Год назад +2

      @@TheCyberSatyr Any discussion around music theory and terminology is interesting and healthy. It’s really good that you are showing such an interest in improving your knowledge of music and because it’s so wide and diverse there is always a lot to learn. Firstly I’d like to point out that I have been playing guitar professionally for many years as a touring musician and studio session player. These days I am teaching music at a secondary college in Australia. I am still playing very regularly, writing and recording. Tonality, as Jake had correctly pointed out, is about whether the music or a particular passage of a piece of music is sounding major or minor eg. is the music in a major or minor key. This is the accepted term to describe this and how it’s used in music and it’s related education. Timbre or tone colour refers to, and this is where it can be confusing, is about the tone of a sound. You could use terms such as glassy, thick, resonant, shrill, dull, smooth, harsh, rich, sonorous, brittle, boomy and so on when describing timbre or tone colour. Timbre (tone colour) is not tonality. As I said earlier this is the accepted terminology that is used universally in music education. I suppose the thing is to get comfortable with these terms and how they are used. Correct use of terminology will make discussions, such as the one we are having, clearer and well focused. I hope this is helpful. Keep enjoying your musical journey. What it really comes down to and the most important aspect is your love of playing and making music. There is nothing more exciting, in my mind anyway. Cheers.

  • @tom434911
    @tom434911 5 лет назад +8

    Great video! This was a good demonstration that "a fingering pattern is not a scale".
    I spun my wheels needlessly for years off and on, just totally overwhelmed with learning scales, until it finally clicked that if you take the time to actually learn major scales and keys properly - the scale construction (the intervals that make up the scale), learning the actual notes (and in doing so, learning all your keys and key signatures), what scale degree each note is in each key, the basic major and minor chords formed in the key, etc., you don't have to learn anything new to play with a modal feel. You just have to actually KNOW the basics. Learning only fingering patterns and root notes is not enough!
    Now, I have lost count of how many posts I have made in different videos to explain how "a pattern is not a scale, it can be many scales depending on the context", as you do here. So many people try to take shortcuts and learn "this is 'the ionian pattern', and this is 'the Dorian pattern'..." and so on. It's a first step, but any of those patterns can be any of the modes!
    No shortcuts, guys! If you want to learn this stuff, learn it right! Learn the fretboard, learn your theory, and apply it. In the end, it is much more beneficial and actually easier to learn than all the shortcut methods. It just takes some time to slow down and learn it. Crawl, stand, walk, and run before you sprint!

    Finally! Jake thank you so much for your modes lesson. I have watched countless vids by other teachers that say that just one note away in a sequence to achieve a different mode. What none of them say, which you do, is targeting the notes in the triad is what will produce a particular mode. Just moving a one-note sequence is not enough and your explanation and demonstration are the best! At last, I now get the modes, and it is soooo easy when explained properly. This is also a great exercise for triad recognition.

    This is one of my favorite guitar lesson channels on YT, and that intro was absolutely brilliant! This guy reinforces things I've known for years, but never applied myself to. Now that I took time off, and started playing guitar and bass again, these videos and their pacing have been invaluable tools for practice and most importantly writing new riffs. I've definitely gotten that spark back, and while it's been a huge combination of a bunch of little things put together, these videos have made a huge difference in keeping things new helping me to continue to innovate. 25 years ago when I started playing bass, any information this comprehensive would have been only available on a VHS tape for at least $20 from the local music store, a booklet that might be a little cheaper, or paying for actual physical guitar lessons.
    My point is this is all free and easily accessible. I would have paid good money to get lessons like this.
    Cheers fellow musicians!

    • @IgnacioAOlivar
      @IgnacioAOlivar 5 лет назад +8

      it's unusual mode but it's cool if you know how to use it. Locrian for me it's more like a "detail mode", for a bridge between parts in a song, a pre chorus, an introduction to something. The reason that it hasn't good popularity it's the actual styles and songs written in locrian. Example, Bjork. It's a genius as an artist but not everyone like her music. Nordic black metal, the same. In contemporany jazz, with atonalities, odd time signatures locrian it's a regular mode, no more good or ugly than the others. Music it's about feelings, mood. If you as composer feel that a solo in F root locrian it's the right choice to express what your mind and souls tells you, welcome locrian and it's beauty

    • @terrymiller111

      I am not a big fan of locrian, either, but he played a very nice "diminished"-sounding lick, which is what locrian is about.

    • @monkeymonk2081
      @monkeymonk2081 4 года назад

      Locrian is neither a major nor a minor mode and is very unstable. It has two minor thirds making the chord a diminished one...
      For instance, in the key of C major we have a B°dim giving B Locrian a bad rap..
      Steve Vai use it a lot though..😞🐮🐴

    Bingo... finally someone made this easy to understand instead of trying hard to make it seem complicated. As for the shape, to me that is just the top 3 strings of the 5th position of the 5 position major scale shapes (or "G" shape in CAGED). Great job Jake!

    • @SignalsMusicStudio
      @SignalsMusicStudio  5 лет назад +2

      I don't like naming shapes because it creates a lot of confusion and obfuscates the universality of them- BUT the shape I show at the end is commonly referred to as the G Shape from the CAGED system. The small shape we use throughout can be derived from that.

    Dude! Great lesson. Gotta say, you are very well spoken and are very easy to follow. I've seen hundreds of videos over the years. I've been playing guitar for 35 years (well, trying anyway) and I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play with many well known guitar players and have been shown thousands of ways to improve my playing and understanding of theory techniques but I find your style of teaching and demonstration to be by far the best for me to follow and comprehend. I'm actually retaining the information and have broken through the veil most players experience. Thanks for putting together this RUclips channel. I plan on sharing it with my band mates and friends who play guitar. Very impressive young dude. Godspeed!

Almost all music theory learning requires a piano (I now have a full 88 key electronic piano) but Jake has opened my eyes - and ears (!) - to how to learn and play modes on guitar. Learning music theory on both piano and guitar is going to deepen my learning and applying music theory including modes on both. Jake is THE go-to guitar guy on RUclips.

    • @DrumWild

      Drummer Johnny “Vatos” Hernandez of Oingo Boingo once said that drummers who do not play other instruments are boring.
      When I was a Percussion Arts major in college, we were required to study piano, marimba, and string bass, as well as music theory and ear training.
      I’m primarily a drummer, but have been playing other instruments for decades. I find that understand other instruments makes me a more effective drummer and writer, in a way where I can make the other instruments sound better.
      Understanding other instruments gives a drummer a real edge.
