Rename to ‘WTF is a “Mode”?!’ Just like you got on your 1st slide 😅 The more it sounds like a “stupid question” that many are afraid to ask this way, the more people will click on this! New audience especially, because we old fans know you and will watch anyway, even if much is repetitive ❤
Taught myself and have been teaching private lessons about 20 years and this dude breaks it down better than I ever could. I got a degree in jazz guitar and learn more from this video than university of Maryland music school haha.
Thanks Brian. Once again you have helped me understand and make sense of some of the confusion I have had for quite a while now. This video not only helped me understand the modes better but also filled in some gaps regarding my understanding of the Harmonic and Melodic keys. 👍
What an excellent video Brian. My guitar teacher told me Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian & Locrian. A useful mnemonic device to remember the order of the modes is “ I Don't Play Loud Music At Lunch “ , where the first letter of each word represents the first letter of the mode. Try it guys
Finally someone made me understand modes! Finally someone who describes what modes are in the simplest way. Now it doesn't feel like modes are a secret reserved for people with music degrees. Thank you!
PS: and I am so glad you did the melodic minor with Am at the core, not going from C major and changing the 3 to b3! This is just more consistent and relatable.
Brian - As a supplement to this excellent explanation of the math of modes, can you do one on “tonal centers” and the mood of each mode? For example how would I use would I use D Dorian mode compared to a D Ionian mode? I think Carlos Santana uses a lot of Dorian mode. How does he use it?
Very very clever this is great seeing it in front of ya,I think u started piano 2-3yr ago how did u find it,I been here 5yrs im still going over videos and loving them as if first time I’ve seen it 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍
Hey thanks for checking out the vid. I've been messing around with the piano for a long time now. I love it. It's a great compliment to guitar for sure 😁
How do you arrive at the "engine" formula for each??.... Is it something that is determined by another variable or is it just one of those things ya' gotta memorize??
@@troyd7613 it's just one of those things you gotta memorize, unfortunately. It helps to remember that Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian and Locrian are all "minor" scale formulas because they contain a 'b3' interval, and Lydian, Ionian and Mixolydian are all "major" scale formulas because they have a '3' interval. However, other than that it really is just a matter of memorization 🤷
The one thing I get tripped up on is that - if the intervals are changing in each mode, would that not change the notes that are in each mode? I'm not even sure if that makes sense but if its 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in Ionian and then there's a flat 3 in a different mode, would that not make that note different?
@@jordant4005 you seem to be confusing relative modes with parallel modes. C Ionian will have different notes than C Dorian. C Ionian has the same notes as D Dorian. The Dorian scale formula is: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 ...and that is what gives the Dorian scale is specific sound.
@@zombieguitar I think I'm getting tripped up on the part where every mode of the same key has the same notes?? Is that correct and you're just starting on a different note? or each mode has different notes because the scale formula is different?
@@jordant4005 again, this comes down to relative vs parallel modes. The answer to your first question is yes...relative modes all share the same notes, 7 different potential tonal centers = 7 potential modes. When you then look at the scale formula for each of the modes, you will see that they are all different from one another. This becomes apparent when comparing something like C Ionian with C Dorian. Ionian scale formula: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Dorian scale formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 You are wondering why C Ionian: C D E F G A B And D Dorian: D E F G A B C Share the same notes, but have a different scale formula... And this can be answered by looking at the parallel relationship between D Ionian: D E F# G A B C# And D Dorian: D E F G A B C Notice that the Dorian scale formula has been applied, and the 3rd and 7th note have been flattened.
This is the bit that really lets the video down - this under the bonnet stuff. If the notes are the same and the chords are the same, what is this flattened third. This suggests the notes are the not the same. Are we saying the notes are the same but if we are soloing over the chords we use different notes. And this formula 1-2-b3 etc are the notes of what? D-E-F-G?
@@sochegeorge7962 when talking about scale formulas, it is always in relation to the one and only default scale - the major scale. D Dorian has the notes: D E F G A B C These notes are the same as the C major scale notes, and that is why D Dorian is a mode of the C major scale. However when looking at the D Dorian scale from an intervals standpoint, you now need to compare it to the one and only default scale, which is the major scale... which has the scale formula: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 D major scale: D E F# G A B C# 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 D Dorian scale: D E F G A B C 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 With modes there is always a relative component (the key signature from which it comes from), and a parallel component (the scale formula which is in relation to the major scale formula). Hope that helps!

Thanks Brian, great breakdown of this confusing topic (for me). Can I buy you a coffee for sunny South Wales (UK).

This just might be the greatest video on music theory I've ever seen. Simplified, great illustrations and narration.👏👏👏👍
Agree, it's a massive amount to take in but very well presenter and very clearly formulated.

This is Such an important lesson!
Great lesson! Thanks for breaking it down to bare bones and making it digestible!
I only watched 1/3 of the video, and already know it is perfect concise explanation of the topic. Thank you so much!!!!!!
What an excellent video Brian.

Brilliant video as usual Brian .... so clear and concise!!
Excellent teacher
This is a complete course, Brian! Thanks so much!

Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😀
Perfect exercise. I love it 👍
Thanks!
Thank you Billy! Much appreciated 😀
I've been playing 30 years plus the best video I've ever seen
Hey Brian, thank you for putting the time and effort into creating this fantastic and much needed video content. Let the Chain remain unbroken! 😎
Brian, This is the 'theory black' hole I couldn't get my head round. This video has given me the light to see and jump in with confidence. Thank You.
So much information packed into this video. Thankyou! Deserves so many more views.
Thanks for putting that together! Really really good!
Your videos on rough classes are very good, congratulations to you.
Great lesson! 👍
Excellent. Best explanation I have seen.
Thank you!
Outstanding. Thanks.
Best video on modes I've found. Thanks.
Great explanation!!!
This is gold. Thank you!
Yay ❤ at last🎉 Brian is getting into nondiatonic! This vid is awesome 😊
Thank you Brian!!
PS: and I am so glad you did the melodic minor with Am at the core, not going from C major and changing the 3 to b3! This is just more consistent and relatable.
Thank you so much for clarifying this for me it really helped
