wow i thought i knew the modes back and forth. watching him move through each in the same key was eye opening. same w/ how he explains moving a similar progression through maj to min.
Ionian, aeolian, and Phrygian are the only modes I really use with intention. The other modes don’t really stand out much for me. Phrygian is nice for about 3 minutes before it becomes predictable. Aeolian is where I spend most of my life as a guitarist.
Satch got me into using the modes constantly. even when i'm playing other regular scales as long as I know what key the song is in I know safe places to land my fingers ^_^ I really love Lydian personally. Phrygian has it's place but your right it does sound a lot a like - it's basically middle eastern sounding every time xD. I'd rather play the spanish gipsy scale over that one cus its more sad and less tense.
I'm a long-time Satriani fan. Much of my own playing is derived from him. However, I am disappointed that a player like him, with such harmonic and melodic richness hasn't played more complex music in recent years. I miss some of earlier Satch style.
Daniel Verberne me too. His latest stuff is thin and shit. Often he sounds like he’s making music for you to listen to when you’re buying a shower. Eg Littleworth Lane.
Next time you change the strings, block the bridge, set the spring tension, and tune until its at the tuning you want, and repeat the process until the bridge is level with the body when working with floating tremolo systems. Once the bridge is level and the tension is equal between the strings and springs with the guitar in tune. The block should fall out naturally, and you can then tighten the locks on the nut. Make sure to stretch the strings before locking the nut.
When it comes to the modes the only to remember them is to associate some song that uses one. Otherwise, you just noodle through them and only get a slight vibe from them.
There is actually very less memorization. If you know one major scale pattern, you can play all the modes in all keys. Understanding the underlying concepts is very important.
He knows his stuff, I know what he means, but...he is not the best teacher at all, at least not from this outtake. No offense, he sounds good and seems nice.
@@EclecticEssentric most high end guitarists teach like this, at the kind of "guru" level advice because they're making videos for guitar magasine or whatever so they give general advice, music philosopgy rather than music theory. they're also often expected to ellaborate specifically on their own playing, rather than trying to give specific tutoring to the student. ie. they're not trying to replace your guitar teacher. i used to struggle with this when i first started. all the material i got from my guitar idols wasn't actually all that helpful, lol. this is still an interesting discussion of the modes and how satriani uses them though. for example, the advice about learning the intervals of the modes and their "feel" (by voice), rather than the particular fingering, is great advice.
Anything with joe is golden
How am I just seeing this awesome lesson by Satch? Great stuff!
His phrasing is sooooooo good.
wow i thought i knew the modes back and forth. watching him move through each in the same key was eye opening. same w/ how he explains moving a similar progression through maj to min.
Thank you Joe. So much great info
Fewer notes in the chord = more freedom playing a melody inside and outside. Thanks, Joe!
good to use 3 note chords and let melody do the rest.
"play simply so others can simply play"
Satch is the Einstein of music.
Adam Spears uh huh, right, sure mate.
Adam Spears go listen to Jacob Collier's opinion on negative harmony or super ultra hyper mega meta lydian mode
the scale doesn't have to match the chord progression. 11 mins
if you're satch.
@@chassegardee7694 sounds like marketing to me…
@@chassegardee7694 lame as fuck
Best lesson on modes ever for intermediate players.
Yes,Thank you,
Precious.
i am floating down the Mississippi and the Nile at the same time. what about you?
That phrasing is is wow good good good
Joe is the man.
Important part at 8:04 . Like David Bowie with lyrics from a different point of view ...
For me, Jazz alterations gets rid of the boredom. But., Joe has some kind of strange magic to where he can make anything sound great.
definitely has his own stamp and crest
Masterful
MASTER CLASS!

If your blues orientated, specifically 7th chords, then Dorian and Mixolydian are your best friend.

Great choice, but Dorian stands out for its kind of medievalish sound, my personal favourite mode along with Aeolian
learn intervals by ear as well as scales
always work on your Db scale, and your F#
the rest are easy.
Awesome 🤘😎🤘
how can one get this study series ?
Can some tell what year and month this article came out on Guitar World?
8:33 don't mind me just a reminder where I left off for next time
Hey Joe where you Goin with that axe in your hand?
oof
does joe satriani one of the GNR fans ????
that made no sense.
He teaches slash how to wail

SImplicity is the best. No need to be complex to provoke emotion and make good music basically.
@@stitcha123 in your opinion. I disagree.
TDS of course it’s my opinion, I’m not quoting a stat am I
He seems to be playing what he likes to hear and play. Fine with me! Check out his new song "Teardrops" for some gorgeous songwriting!
What Satch Didn't Tell You
11:13 oh come on joe now you're just showing off ha!
My Whammy Bar tune off my guitar All the Time. How Can I solve it??
Take your guitar to guitar shop.
Get a better guitar and buy better strings
Next time you change the strings, block the bridge, set the spring tension, and tune until its at the tuning you want, and repeat the process until the bridge is level with the body when working with floating tremolo systems. Once the bridge is level and the tension is equal between the strings and springs with the guitar in tune. The block should fall out naturally, and you can then tighten the locks on the nut. Make sure to stretch the strings before locking the nut.
Amusing, thanks.
I get the ideas he mentions, but to a novice, this would probably be fairly useless to watch.
Theory folk love this stuff.
When it comes to the modes the only to remember them is to associate some song that uses one. Otherwise, you just noodle through them and only get a slight vibe from them.
But master, how do I do this?
Learn music theory grasshopper, and learn it well.
Where can I get the tabs or the files for this? Thanks for sharing. (:
I’m confused.
Joe loves GNR ????
What gave you that idea. Durrrrrr
Guns n roses!
😳
cool but man to a guy like me this feels like so much stuff to memorize I don't see how
Baby steps. Take a mode per week and explore. Hear the sound, memorize the pattern, understand what it definitely works over.
There is actually very less memorization. If you know one major scale pattern, you can play all the modes in all keys. Understanding the underlying concepts is very important.
Nice demonstration, but not enough explanation.
Chris Davies that's an in depth explanation.
Rob Lobasso true!
haha, funny..because the most efective explanation for music theory (modes) is one day explanation (theory) and FOREVER practice.
:)

memorizing is a mistake, try to know the feel of the intervals rather than memorizing every note in the mode
Nah I'll memorize...feeling is way too much work
wtf is that hat
It hides the bald
@@bongjovi4928 I prefer bald than that stupid hat. Or wear a cap or something. He looks ridiculous.:/
