i was having such a hard time learning like flats and sharp and your videos helped me so much and now i know what a major scale is and im learning minor scales and a lot more
Excellent videos, let me add a little invention of my own: how to remember the modes in order... 1/ Never say dorian or locrian again, only say TwoDorian, and SevenLocrian from now on. 2/ Remember these short stories - OneIonion because an 'I' is like a 1 (one) - TwoDorian because "Tu dors" (pronounced 'two door') is french for "you sleep" - ThreePhrygian because 3 sounds like 'Fridge' - FourLydian because it's for Lydia, dear Lydia - FiveMixolydian because it comes after FourLydian - SixAeolian: there's a story-ette that fits this but it's to edgy for here - SevenLocrian because it's the lock to enter seventh heaven A little weird but it makes them easy to remember.
Wow-another brilliant presentation of the relationship of the myriad scales-After 30 years’ hiatus now returning to my violin I finally am beginning to actually understand the concepts my teachers struggled to help me understand as a kid-I’ve been playing multiple scales now just from using your rules-and now actually am beginning to understand their structure rather than just playing the notes as printed in my scale book. Remarkable video(s). Thank you so much! Steve K.
Nice video! Thanks! I prefer to use the scale formula system where you modify a major scale of a given tonic. Dorian would be 1 - 2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7, Phrygian would be 1 - b2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7, etc.
I never really learned much theory but to me it always felt more intuitive to kind of think of these modes relative to either the major scale or the natural minor scale depending on which one it sounds closer to, because the natural minor scale is also so fundamental in modern music and frankly I use the natural minor scale more than the major scale in my own music. So for me the dorian scale for example sounds closer to the natural minor scale so I might think of it as aeolian with a raised 6th. It's just what felt the most intuitive for me without having been taught theory, but would you say there's a downside to this way of thinking about it?
Honestly, it’s all related, so whatever works for your brain is totally valid. I’d say that most music from the western classical tradition(from which flowed western popular music of a million genres) is based on major so that’s the default. Thinking of how we teach, we tend to start with folk songs and nursery rhymes because they’re easy and not overwhelming(and they hard enough for beginners) and those are all overwhelmingly based on major.
When you know the order of the modes of the major scale it modes of Dorian phrygian and locrian to the natural minoalso called Aeolian or the 6 interval of the major scale and the relative minor key to the major key. Therefore, is the amazing triad have a relative minor that is the a minor triad. Therefore , the A Dorian is distinguished from the A natural minor because Dorian has a sharped 6th of F#. The A Phrygian has a flAt 2 or B flat. A Locrian has a flat 2 b flat and a flat 5 or e flat. C Ionian Or C Major is distinguished from C Lydian because of the sharped.4 or f#. C mixolydian simply is.c major with a flat B flat.

I can’t remember how many people told me that how to learn mode. Apparently, you are the last one . I appreciate it.
I can’t explain how useful your videos are keep it up!

1/ Never say dorian or locrian again, only say TwoDorian, and SevenLocrian from now on.
2/ Remember these short stories
- OneIonion because an 'I' is like a 1 (one)
- TwoDorian because "Tu dors" (pronounced 'two door') is french for "you sleep"
- ThreePhrygian because 3 sounds like 'Fridge'
- FourLydian because it's for Lydia, dear Lydia
- FiveMixolydian because it comes after FourLydian
- SixAeolian: there's a story-ette that fits this but it's to edgy for here
- SevenLocrian because it's the lock to enter seventh heaven
A little weird but it makes them easy to remember.
Learned it immediately. Thanks!

This channel is so underrated
I'm surprised by how few people know about your channel given how well made your videos are.
Exactly me too
So nice of you to say!
Right!!
But why aren't there more videos
There’s more on the way!
That ties together a number of factors I've gleaned from multiple sources
Pulls it all together quite neatly and clearly, thanks
Formed a new understanding of modes from this video. Not from anything you said... but from the way you've said everything you said. Thank you :o.
Thank you. This video is so good! Especially with the minor scales I can get really confused sometimes on the best approach to derive them.

Thank you for the explanation.
Merci for this. Just starting out my music journey, but I love your tour bus.
This is helpful! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thanks for simplifying things!
Woah thanks
Nice video! Thanks! I prefer to use the scale formula system where you modify a major scale of a given tonic. Dorian would be 1 - 2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7, Phrygian would be 1 - b2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7, etc.
Excellent!
Very good.
thx
You should do explaining of time such as 4/4 time
It’s on the list of videos to make actually! It’s trickier than it might seem though. There’s a few ways to approach it. Hopefully this summer!
