One more thing gang - I didn't want to get into this in this episode (because it's pretty deep on the theory end of things), but during Pink Floyd's 'Dogs' chord progression, you could actually target four modal flavors over the four chords. Dm9 = D Aeolian Ebmaj7sus2 = D Phrygian Asus2sus4 = D Dorian Absus2#11 - D Locrian This is pretty heavy stuff, but this song is loosely written around "D minor" but it drifts between flavors/tonalities (obviously). We haven't even discussed Locrian yet, so I didn't want to dive into the deep end with 'Dogs' - but as with any great musical composition, there's the "shallow end" and the "deep end." I just stuck with the "shallow end" for this episode surrounding that song, but realize this song dives much deeper than what I demonstrated in this lesson. Also, keep in mind that David Gilmour didn't target all of these modes during this song. He basically drifts between Aeolian and Dorian throughout, hitting a lot of trademark hybrid pentatonic scales/licks. He also expertly avoids the 6th at times (the note that's changing/twisting throughout the song), while other times he targets and directly hits it at just the right times. David Gilmour is the MAN! Just a head up, good luck, and have some fun! \m/ ROCK ON \m/

First of all...great idea to touch on the modes. I am still not "proficient" with my application of most things....but I used to ask my friend lots of questions. He asked me...."do you know the major scale?" I said yes, but not in the way he meant it. I started to work out the major scale on piano...then harmonized in 3rds. Then I saw quickly how scales and chords were created that were diatonic to a given scale. For a long while, I knew my pentatonic pattern, (the first one we all learn). But I didn't understand major vs minor....Same pattern but the position is different and more importantly the notes are different. Learning to play a scale over an entire progression confused me how it can be Aeolian vs Ionian vs Lydian. When I started to look at the patterns as they relate to song key....or maybe more important...I can leave the key of the song and create a "key of the moment" over any chord. Great lessons...thanks for your channel.
As usual I find myself totally immersed in your videos . Thanks David for breaking these into “ Bite sized “ pieces of musical genius for us all to digest . This whole series has just been magical . Thank you , thank you ,Thank You . 😎👍. Can’t wait to see whatever else you share with us . C-ya man . 😉
Aeolean used to be the only mode I really played, as a beginning guitarist, so over the years, I've almost completely neglected to learn new things about Aeolean, compared to the other modes I've absorbed since! This brilliant lesson rectifies that. Thanks, David.
Soon there’s gonna be guitar prodigy’s citing 🍺’skis teachings & channel as a great influence & a key for their progressions. Unbelievable the free content guitarists can get here! TY 🤟
Man , this series is just phenomenal!!! Totally loving this !! I find myself impatiently waiting for the next one !!! LoL Once they are all finished and released , I'm gonna go back and watch them all back to back to back & completely emerse myself in them again !!! Great work , Dave !!!
Man i would love to hear you analyze Diary of a madman the song. Thats an amazing "vibe" song. Would love to findout the theory behind randys composition.
Great lesson!! Suggestion for a "Chords Of" ~ I think Cheap Trick/Rick Nielsen would be wonderful; I'm working up Surrender and his chord use is so unique vs. everyone's simplified lessons....food for thought ~ My Very Best ~ Joe
This is a great series that you’ve put together on the modes David. On the Floyd chord analysis couldn’t you also play D Phrygian over the Ebma7sus 2 since it has Eb and play D Locrian over the Absus2#11 since it has the Ab. I really like the chord voicings you’re using for the modes.
I love your channel. Your style makes it easier to approach topics in music theory. I've been playing guitar for 25 years and I have an honest question. As someone who struggles with sequential memory (there's tons of us), how do you remember all of this stuff? I also have background in orchestral music. I started out learning to play songs and I just think about "Oh, this fret on this string makes this sound" but I've never learned anything outside of the major and minor scales because I simply can't remember anything past that. I just forget. I think it would be valuable to know but how conscious are you about the theory when you construct a lick or solo? Is it just ingrained? For those of us who simply cant remember modes, tones, sus 4, dim 7 ...it seems like innumerable variations... Forget it all and go with the gut or is there some trick? Thanks!

Can you add the transcription for these chords?

@@LateNightLessons thank you! I’ll check it out! You’re an awesome teacher!
That opening jam was nothing but pure eargasm 🤘

The saddest of all keys BWAWAWAWAWAWAWA!! Love that. LMLP!!!
Great opening jam, Brewster.
This series of lessons is absolutely brilliant. That intro was badass, Dude.

Fantastic lesson thanks Dave - awesome stuff

You have a fantastic LEARNING THE MODES Late Night Lesson taught in F Major that's a perfect companion piece to this D Aeolean Lesson, David!

No truer words were ever said, or typed, about this teacher and his treasure trove of a channel.
Love that movie....." They don't dust for vomit" 😅😅 love these lessons just as much.
Excellent job, great material covered with the examples. Thanks a lot Dave. 🎸🍃🎶
The Floyd analysis was great! They put to use a musical way of giving a sense of unease with that `sideways` chord progression. Nice
Yet another great lesson. Minor modes ROCK!!!!!!! Thank you for making this lesson.
Great lesson as usual Dave. Keep up the great work.
Wow!
Looking forward to the Learning to Love the Last and maLigned Locrian lesson.
Yes! Some people say Locrian is borderline useless, yet RUclipsr "Shred" composes amazing Locrian metal!
Great work as always David. Could you make a video of what scales to use over exotic chords thanks
Man , this series is just phenomenal!!! Totally loving this !! I find myself impatiently waiting for the next one !!! LoL Once they are all finished and released , I'm gonna go back and watch them all back to back to back & completely emerse myself in them again !!! Great work , Dave !!!
Awesome lesson! Man i look forward to these modes lessons. Animals is my favorite album. Especially Dogs. Thank you!
Thanks again! Well done!
LATE NIGHT, for the Ab Sus2 #11 chord, they use lydian mode instead of Aeolian. Pink Floyd uses lydian mode as a substitution for aeolian mostly.
Man i would love to hear you analyze Diary of a madman the song. Thats an amazing "vibe" song. Would love to findout the theory behind randys composition.
Great!🔥🎸
Another amazing video❤❤
Great lesson!! Suggestion for a "Chords Of" ~ I think Cheap Trick/Rick Nielsen would be wonderful; I'm working up Surrender and his chord use is so unique vs. everyone's simplified lessons....food for thought ~ My Very Best ~ Joe
I totally expecting you to return to that root flat7 motif to close out the opening jam. My ears were waiting for it🤘
This is a great series that you’ve put together on the modes David. On the Floyd chord analysis couldn’t you also play D Phrygian over the Ebma7sus 2 since it has Eb and play D Locrian over the Absus2#11 since it has the Ab. I really like the chord voicings you’re using for the modes.
This has been a great series 👏 👍🤘
I don't know how to express it in words properly, but the opening jam feels like my life right now....
well after all this, I'm going to have to let the dogs out... another valuable lesson mr. late night... 🎵r0ck0n 🎵
