Today we are going to talk about harmony and how to create simple chord vamps that fit a mode or a scale.
For this to work we need to extract some strategic notes from the scale in question to build our chords. In this case, we are going to use three shapes of three note chords.
The major shape is going to be made up of the root, the third and the fifth.
The minor shape is going to be made up of the minor seven, minor third and fifth.
The minor seventh flat five shape is going to be made up of the minor seven, minor third and diminished fifth.
To create the modal vibe we need a bass note that the chords are going to be attracted to. In this case, we will take advantage of our A open string.

You’re like the Bob Ross of guitar teaching. Great Lesson
Happy little frets!
On every guitar video someone says they are the Bob Ross of teaching.
Thank you David! You’re not only a great teacher but a beautiful human being! Very useful lesson indeed!
I've been binge watching your lessons David! I got so much out of your videos on modes - they are finally starting to make sense to me. This was the answer to my next question on modes - how to create some modal chord progressions in whichever mode I wanted to jam over. Thank you so much for all the great lessons!
I really learned something here but i learn in a roundabout way. I had to switch to c then used the triads on the first 3 strings as chords . When I tried this using the lesson shapes I confused myself lol. But I switched to the arpeggio and thanks so much. I am looking forward to more of your lessons thanks again
finally after years of searching the simple truth about modal chord progressions has been revealed to me, many thanks David!!!!!!!!
This video really enlightens me!Thanks a lot!
Crystal Clear David now I can add more sweetness on my Playing.
This was such a great lesson on modes! I have been learning a bit here and there about modal harmony, but this video cleared up so much, Thank you!
everything becomes clear now after all this time trying to learn! thank you
WOW....This ones going to a while to digest. GREAT video BrotherMan....
Very insightful and profound lesson, thanks David 🎸🎸🎸
Awesome! This is a powerful tips. Thanks for sharing!
thats a beautiful looking and sounding guitar!
Thank you!
David! It's amazing. I could understand the purpose of modes just right after this short video. GREAT job!
Thank you!
Magic sounds, magic links for awesome licks ! Trop fort ! Thank you David.
I learned a lot here! Thank you!
I remember this guy, from the 360p days.
Nice...thanks!
David Wallimann: Thanks David for the lesson video and the modal chords PDF. It's quite beautiful to look at the whole fret board with any given scale or mode and visual all the chords available. I still have problems finding a name for each chord but the sounds are just lovely indeed.
Great lesson!!! I always think about the#4 defining Lydian not realizing the 2 degree can define that mode as well!!!! Love learning more!!!🙏🙏🙏
as always the best lesson, just perfect, thank you so much
Please do a video about creating a melody and chords using modal interchange
This channel needs more views !! :(( great lesson...!! SUBSCRIBED !!
Thanks I am now jamming within the modes, I get it at last!
Such a useful lesson!
Love your videos man … keep them a coming
I think I’ll watch one of your newer videos. This one was kind of confusing, though I understand the concept
Very good lesson!
I love these lessons
This is classic David. I love this format. Not a big fan or viewer of the newer style of videos that he is putting out.
Thanks man! I wish more thought line you!
Great lesson!
One of your best David. I downloaded the pdf and printed it but couldn’t remember the details, but I knew it was something that really got my attention, so I had to find it again. On the second listen I realized this really helped in understanding how modes can be used and why they are much more than the same notes of the parent scale. Thanks for unlocking it for me!
Awesome.. the m7b5 reference was enough for me to understand the example inonian canvas but one question how shall this apply if we replace it with 3rds chord on the same canvas. btw Great lesson. Thnx.
Whatever you played at the start, it was beautiful! starting 0:26
The comments are right, only in few cases the system delivers enough information to define a mode exactly. I normally use for church modes the three major chords in a key over a Bass drone. That works fine. Otherwise every triad chord combination works as soon as they include all seven notes.
Great, love your works so informative and cool
Hi David, U play major, minor, diminished. So it can be 5th(major), 6th(minor), dimished. So it can be mixolydian too, not necessarily ionian.
But he didn’t play the 5, 6, and 7 chords, he played 1, 2, and 7, so it was ionian.
Absolument parfait
Let me just say, you are the man
Dave, I thought I was smarter than you until you mentioned that you can use the first 4th and 5th modes for the major chord. A brand new simple revelation today. I bow in humble honour in this enlightened moment..Sorry, "moment of enlightnment" Hail King David, Hail...Thanks buddy, great lesson as usual..
Great stuff David! I have a question about your studio as I'm looking to "soundproof" (reduce volume for outsiders) my room and search for something more effective than foam. You have a cool situation going on in the background. What are you using for the sound dampening and acoustics? Thanks.
Hey David! what's the song at the of the video in the background? I really loved it. Please take out time to share the details. I guess it's one of your originals.
so, a mode not only is related to a major scale, but also the mode has its own chord progressions "inside", correct? if you are composing in A dorian (G major), the A dorian chords will fall under the "dorian" chord progression? so A dorian= A minor will be first degree then, 2nd degree is B major , 3rd degree is C major, 4th D minor, 5th E minor and so forth? or A dorian will have same chord progression as G major? Thanks!
The 4th would be a D-major not minor, otherwise you'd be playing "A natural minor" if D-minor chord was played. :)
the b is also minor
Useful lesson as always. Trying to write some tunes and revisiting switching between modes effectively.
I can't access the cheat sheet for some reason. Anyone here got a copy and able to send it through? Cheers.
Same here is there a working link to the cheat sheet PLS
@@fattyz1 no idea man. Just tagged the author to find out if there's a way to get it. Thought he said he'd have it fixed last time I checked. But still not working. Good luck to us I guess?
Cool video, but I was always taught that chord 7 in a major scale was diminished not m7b5(which is kinda diminished).... is the m7b5 and American thing?
Fargoth Bosmer - The vii *triad* is diminished in a major scale. In scale-tone 7ths, the vii chord (m7b5) is called half-diminished because the 7th in a fully diminished chord would be flattened by an additional semi-tone. Compare Cm7b5 (half-diminished) = C Eb Gb Bb to Cdim7 = C Eb Gb Bbb (A enharmonic).
It’s not, a lot of teachers call it a diminished chord (including many teachers), but a diminished chord is different, it has a bb7 (double flat which sounds like a Major 6th). :)
I often refer to as a half diminished as denoted by a circle with a slash through it, being half dim chord (the dim chord that sits on the major 7 of the Major) and full dim as the dimished of the major7th of a harmonic minor scale. Thats how i describe them to my students (if we get that far! lol)
Old fart here and this has been a twiddly term since the fourth grade when I started playing. There are three things we might be talking about when folks start tossing the word. The diminished triad, the half diminished = m7b5 = diatonic extension of the diminished triad, or the diminished 7 = full diminished 1 b3 b5 6 (1 b3 b5 bb7 for purists).
Gets tossed around loosely and confusingly. As a beginner there is one diminished thing... that nasty sounding triad on the 7....
Does it matter guys?
Other videos have some pretty good subtitles, they are in Italian and they are painful if it is embarrassing.
Anyway, thank you very much for your time
7b5 vs dim?
The difference is in the 7th!
m7b5 has a minor 7th, diminished has a diminished 7th (half step below a minor 7th)
@@Wallimann Thanks for the quick reply. But I was wondering why some music theory looks at the 7th as a diminished and some look at the 7th as a m7b5.
I'm confused, there is a step (2 1/2 steps) between 1 and 2 in Ionian but only 1half step between 7 and 8. The first two shapes in Ionian are working for me but not the third? What am I doing wrong?
Skip to 6min in for the lesson
Wouldn't the 4 and 5 on lydian be separated by 1 fret?
Nice video David. Thanks. I saw your last video's and you're using almost every time this guitar. Cool guitar, with the mini humbuckers "i think". Don't wanna bump the headstock alltough. A Yola guitar.. is that a new brand or is that not real knowded yet to the broad public. I first thought it was a VIGIER logo on small screen. Is Vigier actually French ? Could be wrong, and will be i think. Thought that because your roots are French.A few years ago Vigier was more present an now you hardly hear about them ? Wondering what's the cause of that. They should be pretty high end. Cheers.
Where did you get C Maj if the key is A Maj ???? ?????????????????????????????
not making sense... why not use the Am shape for minor and AM for major?
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like the three notes make it major chord. Like A shape in CAGED, those all being major shapes.
@@bytor99999 Those three notes can form part of a minor chord too. Think about the E minor shape when it is barred, and you remove the pinky - that is now a minor 7 chord.
Whether these three notes sound like a major or like a minor chord, depends on the rest of the context - mainly the bass note, but also where inside a progression they occur.
If you apply a C bass note, it does indeed become a C major chord (A shaped). But if you instead apply an A bass note, it becomes an A minor 7, and it is one of the most common fingerings in jazz.
Greetings David. Has the link to the cheat sheet been disabled? I am getting an error message. Thanks from a chilly Nova Scotia. 8 )
I just checked and it still works here.
What internet browser are you using? I tried Chrome and that worked.
I know it’s a long time ago but is the cheat sheet around ? I subscribed and this lesson is right where I’m at currently and I’d love to get that
Shouldn't the 7th in Ionian be a dim chord?
Half diminished
@@Wallimann got it. What notes are you playing here for half dim/dim7. Or... Just send me the pdf doc! Links not working.
Be well 👍
Diminished is 1 b3 b5 bb7
Half diminished is 1 b3 b5 b7
I’ll get that off fixed!
@@Wallimann hey is the link up and working now? Just saw another complaint. Really relevant subject and handy diagram to have!
What a dude.
Can you do a lesson on different scale shapes for the modes & how to play them in context?
I am confused... It appears the two first chords are different inversions of the major shape and the last one is minor (not diminished)... Am I missing something?
JF Remillard I’m with you. It can go two ways really. He played a triad of the 2 and said, that eliminates the 4 chord, which is not true because that’s a different inversion of d major. With playing those triads it’s not giving enough information to the listeners unless you are playing with a bass player. I do understand his point but his chords are not giving enough information.
Well I guess what I find confusing is the fact that his "minor" shape is the exact shape of the A major chord... and in fact, it does sound major. Anyway... I will watch again. I might have missed something...
His 2 chord is supposed to be outlining “b minor” but the reason why it may be sounding major is that it’s also outlining an inversion of d major.
JF Remillard I totally agree. Thank God for your comment. I was going nuts!! You are right. He is playing a major shape, and in isolation it is a major triad and can't be anything else. So unless David himself has a way to clarify this, I am going to focus on the main theme of the lesson..
Edit: Also on rewatching this video, I realized he does explain it. He is playing the minor seventh and omitting the root.
Lol right, putting that minor 7th in there without the root note threw the whole thing off, but I understood his point.
guitarinfusion.com doesn't work for me.
okay, guitarplayback.com is what I'm looking for. That was confusing.
Seems like gibberish
I love all the inventiveness in this!! but you do sound like a huge stoner as well as an audiophile lmao
I sure did back then! Haha!
This video needs to have it's title changed! The channel is usually good, but this lesson was not clearly explained. I watched it twice very carefully but to no avail.
Thanks for the feedback and the nice words! Any suggestions for a title?
@@Wallimann Switch Simplest to confusing. Don't get me wrong, I really like your channel, this lesson just didn't work for me. Modes are the next main hurdle for me theory wise. I understand CAGED, Pentatonics, Blues, Major and Minor scales and keys. I have watched several other channels on the subject of modes, and so far I think Stichmethod Guitar explains it the best for the way I like to take in information.
Thanks man!

It should help!
Jeez , no need , I just pick.my guitar up and play it, this stuff so unhelpful and complicating, very robotic and no love and freedom ,, Hendrix would roll in his grace listening to this
Grave not grace
too much talking
Way too much rambling.
Shame
