Exactly, this guy forgets to tell this stuff! And totally misguided me when I was trying to understand modes. From him I understood that C dorian has the same notes as C ioninan, but the starting point is different. Actually it is D dorian.
This is what I use to implement Locrian wherever I go. Locrian tends to get discarded, but if you sneak it in as a spin on an Ionian progression, it adds a flare without sounding "bad" like Locrian generally gets labelled.
Well damn dude! You done demystified all those crazy Latin sounding names that have noobs scratching - and shaking - our heads. Good job sir. I am one step closer to checking out your course.
One thing that is often not talked about is that this, and others, are referencing relative modes in relation to a single scale, rather than what Joe Satriani, Vinnie Moore, and others do with modal interchange. So, rather than consider C and play lydian as emphasizing the F...by playing the same notes in C, they may create a lydian sound by playing over a G chord, and play C lydian, which is the notes in G. This effectively steps outside of the scale, and now isn't about emphasizing the tonic F lydian of C, but is about playing the #4 of C, to create a G major. This is rarely ever covered, but is what is happening when you pedal a note and play the modes in parallel, such as pedaling an E. That's why the effect is so strong.
In the 70s no one would show you crap on the guitar they wanted to keep it a mystery or for themselves. Thank God we all have RUclips.. Omg if I had it back in late 60s early 70s. I watch it everyday now and play my 73 les Paul. It's a killer way to learn more and push yourself on into theory and just commanding the instrument..
is there one lesson/theory/method that helps us instantly build a complex chord on the fretboard? for example something crazy like f#7(b5)/13 which is probably not a real chord. but ya, wouldnt it be easier though if one video could explain once and for all, what these characters "#, /, ( ), b, M, m, aug, dim, sus, add, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13" simply mean, help breakdown the given compound chord, figure out the finger positioning on the fret board?
mytubeaccount triads included yes. Tertian harmony means harmonies (chords) built in 3rds. Learn the basics of it like triads and seventh chords. Then learn the next stuff like stacking thirds after 7th chords to make 9th, 11th, and 13th chords. After that you can study altering the notes in a dominant chord like the 13th, 9th, 11th, etc. After all that learn about minor 6 chords, major 6 chords, etc.
I find this confusing. You nailed it with the chords are what matter, and what sounds like home will determine what mode you use, but you can really make any chord you're playing on sound like home if you play the mode but focus on the four-note arpeggio that makes sense over that chord. So for example if we're working in... the key of D, let's say, and running a 2-5-1 (E, A, D), for the five chord (A7) play your A7 arpeggio (1, 3, 5, b7 = A, C#, E, G) overtop the A Mixo mode (however you chose to learn modes, Mixolydian is the fifth interval) and simply by focusing on the four notes in the arpeggio WITHIN the modal scale and resolving your phrases (mostly) to those notes, you'll still get the modal sound rather than simply playing D Ionian over the whole thing. You'll also notice the notes of your arpeggio will always fit inside the modal scale, so the arpeggio is essentially just highlighting specific notes that will bring out that modal sound. Imo, just learn your arpeggios and remember that modes are just starting on different intervals of the same core scales.
How to practice that? I know that it is easy to learn three notes per string but actually i'm kinda slow with this. How should i practice to see the major (or minor) scale so easily and fast in the neck? I watched guitarzoom's steve stine( i hope i wrote coreect ) and basically he gives the major scale and says " first, learn the major scale and modes are just emphasising another note ( Emphasise A for A dorian which means G major for example , but at the end we still using the same notes ) and stayin in the scale " . He teached a lot and i respect both of tyler and steve but i am just confused. How the heck i am gonna rip the major scale? And i have the guitar super system. I am trying to learn but no one replies my questions and i have so many.. thanks in advance
the fastest way to learn these modes - is just find the other scale you think that fits. For example, when jamming D Dorian track - start at DMinor Pentatonic then find the other scale such as AMinor scale and as long as you know the diatonic tones you can forget about the modes and what they are even called.
This video was really helpful and filled in some gaps for me. The part I still struggle with is choosing the right chords to define the most appropriate mode. For instance, what chords would imply a phrygian mode?
That actually helps a lot. Thanks! I didn't realize it was that easy. I understood the chords that make up the major key, and I knew that the third mode's (Phrygian) root is just the third of the first mode, but I didn't put it together that the first chord in the progression has such an impact in implying the mode. I guess that makes sense inherently. So if my progression is in the key of C, and it is: C, Em, G, Am -- Ionian fits naturally, but if I were to start the progression on Em, it automatically is drawn towards Phrygian? Are there any obvious caveats with this formula?
If you're notating and say you wanna make a song with f lydian. Would your key signature be f as that is the tonal center. Or sense it's a mode of c would your key signature be c?
how to find some modal chords on a fretboard? first i want to play some chords that i like, then i want to practice some licks over that progression. not the other way around
The mode you'd play over a chord progression changes depending on the "home" or "main" chord of the progression. so if you played a bar of a C major and then half a bar of an E minor, you'd play the ionian mode over the progression because the C is the main chord of the progression
I understood all the way until he began playing it on the high e-string. How do you know, which notes should be played? Because before, he played them moving up one step. Unlike now, where they all start on an E. Can anyone explain?
Lamwoc half All Major scales follow this exact pattern: W W H W W W H (whole, whole, half, whole, whole,whole, half). The distance between the first two notes in a Major scale is a whole step.
Thank you. But how can you transpose that to the high e-string, like Tyler does. He makes the dorian mode start on an E, where as it would normally start a whole step up.
@Brian Robles - Only the "Ionian" mode of the key uses the pattern WWHWWWH. When you move to the "Dorian" mode of the same key, you have to rotate the first W to the end, so you now play WHWWWHW. The "Phrygian" mode is then HWWWHWW, and so on. So, to play E-Dorian on the E-string, start with E-open, then play the next note a whole step away (2-frets), then half step (1-fret), etc.
Maverick Doe so basically I memorise the whole and half patterns, then just play them, starting on the e string? So it'd be e, f#, g, and so on? I finally get it, thank you, man!
Lamwoc He was just playing it like that so he could play them while the low e string was ringing out, thus highlighting the different qualities each mode has so you can hear them. It's much more valuable to learn the 3 note per string patterns than them all linear. Once you get the 3 note per string patterns down by muscle memory by playing them everyday you will be able to instinctively play the linear ones too without thinking about just because you will be so familiar with the distances already.
Thanks for totally confusing me... C Ionian - root C. D dorian- root D.. so if I want to play dorian mode in key of C, I just have to play D dorian shape but from C root??
Help?? The part that confuses me is when he says "Just play the notes from a different starting point" ex: Dorian- start on D Phrygian- start on E etc, etc... but the notes and intervals are different for each mode, and the pattern between Whole/Half Steps are different as well. So how does the starting from a different note correlate with the different intervals/patterns. Thanks!!
Jessie Trotter you're starting from the next note up in the major scale while still following the intervals of that original major scale. This will sound like a continuation of the major scale or "Ionian" mode until you change the chords that are played behind each mode.
hey tylor love the vids , great chanel... do u have any infos about xmx acoustic guitars i have one and it is amazing quality and sounds gorgeoud but i could never find anything about it on the internet plz help ps:keep up the good work
Not trying to nip pic just tried to help but it seems like there's a light ringing in the background of your video almost like tinnitus don't know if there's anything you can do as it's an old video
I dont understand this at all, im getting so mad with playing guitar because ive only played the minor pentatonic scale all my life. Ive tried learning other stuff but i can never understand them so that i can apply it to my playing. Please help me if you have any tips, im getting to a point to where i hate my style of playing. Ive been in the same skill spot for the past 2 years it seems like.
From my limited understanding of modes. Modes are what you get when you play the major scale from it's different notes(second third fourth etc note). There are 7 modes because there are 7 different notes in a scale. These modes are: ionian, dorian, phyrgian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, and locrian. The choice of chords compliment the sound of one mode. For example the ionian mode sounds good when played with major triads. You can look online or gss for which modes sound good with what. This is just super basic mode info
I had the same problem. Constantly playing pentatonic without progressing, and getting bored and tired of not learning or playing anything new. My first step was to learn the full minor scale. For this example I'll use A minor because there are no sharps or flats, making it easier to understand. So in the A minor pentatonic scale, you get the notes A, C, D, E, and G. Five notes. With the full A minor scale, all you do is add two notes. B and F. Now your full A minor scale is A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Learn it, and begin playing with it. Learn how to improvise with it, and learn what notes are in each location on the fret board. The full minor scale will NOT work well over blues. Get on RUclips and pull up A Aeolian backing tracks. These backing tracks give you chord progressions with notes that are ONLY in the A minor scale, this way everything you play will fit and you can adjust to the new scale. You can message me if you'd like for me to keep helping. :D I'm happy to help!
i think im stuck. all ive been using is position 1 minor pentatonic scale, and it seems like everything i play sounds the same and its starting to get boring. what do i do lol
They're not hard. I know this is going to sound like a bunch of BS, but I swear his teaching is about 100x better in his guitar course. Best $25 I've ever spent.
It isn't! Use the major scale as a base, and then change these scale tones for the mode... (b means to lower it by a step, # to raise it). Dorian: b3, b7 Phrygian: b2, b3, b6, b7 Lydian: #4 Mixolydian: b7 Aeolian (Minor): b3, b6, b7 Locrian: b2, b3, b5, b6, b7
Brian, thanks for this comment. I am confused, though. I thought all of the notes in different modes were the same? And that all that is changing is the emphasis (and really the note you start and finish on?). Is my understanding of modes off?
The dorian mode of C is the A# major scale? I saw the notes of both scales and they have the same notes, but I dont know if both work in a jazz progresion, help plis 🙏
You know what, you're almost right. C dorian does have the same notes as the A# major scale, but you said the dorian mode of C so I misunderstood, my bad! But the theory is still corect.
The major scale is a "parent scale". The minor scale is the Aeolian mode, a mode of the major scale (based on the major scale's 6th degree). The major scale was developed and used first, historically. It was some time later that the other tonal centers (modes) were explored or "came into fashion". That is why the major scale is considered the parent scale, and the other scales (modes) are not. Hope that helps
He moves position 1 Ionian around the neck in different keys to show the pattern staying constant, but you would do exactly the same thing with CAGED shapes. What the heck is he talking about?
You mean E-A-D-G-C-F, right? In that case, you would just move the fret numbers on the C and F strings down so that each 3 note set would start on the same fret.
Not really. None that I know of at least. Obviously you can change notes that are in the pentatonic scale if you want, but I don't think there are any names for them. Sometimes when I play the pentatonic scale, I replace the minor 3rd with a major 3rd and leave every thing else alone. Basically when I do that I'm playing the mixolydian mode, but without adding the major 2nd. I don't think there's really a name for it. However it is definitely possible to replace notes in the pentatonic scale. I do it all the time.
Love your Videos! And your guitar super system helped me finally understand the modes..now my solos rock damn way more better :) thank you so much, especially for your great content!
Scales are just a set group of intervals on the way back to the root. The formula for a scale is always the same. The formula for a major scale is Whole Whole Half Whole Whole Whole Half. Any time you play those intervals you've played a major scale. If you want to make it a minor scale just flat the 3 the 6 and the 7. Hope this helps.
Christian Galvan Scales are about notes and intervals, modes are about tonal center. For example, the G major scale and the A Dorian scale consist of the same notes, but in a different order, and so the interval pattern is not the same. They are in the same key, because they use all the same notes (G, A, B, C, D, E, F# for G major, and A, B, C, D, E, F#, G for A Dorian). Either one of these scales can be played if the key is G and the chords use only notes found in the key of G. You can play the A Dorian scale and still be playing the G Ionian mode, and you can play the G Ionian scale and be playing the A Dorian mode. Or you could be playing the A Dorian scale and be playing the Dorian mode. What determines which mode is heard is the chords, or pedal tone, or whatever else is also heard while you are playing notes from those scales. For example, try this. Play a G major chord, then play the G major scale, then the G major chord. Sounds like Ionian, and it "wants" to resolve to G. Now, play an A minor chord, and play the same G major scale, then play the A minor chord again. This time, it wants to resolve to A, not G, and the same G major scale sounds like A dorian, not G ionian. It's all about context. Learning scale patterns and labeling them as ionian, dorian, etc might help to learn the patterns on the fretboard, but don't confuse those labels with "now I'm playing the Aeolian mode or the phrygian mode because that's what this pattern is. The pattern is just a pattern, and the labels just help to see the key on the fretboard. Any" mode pattern" can sound like any of the related modes (the modes of the same key, like C major, D dorian, E phrygian, etc.). The tonal center determines what the mode is, not the fingering pattern or scale choice. Hope that helps!
Are you implying that using the CAGED system can cause you to "get stuck in boxes"? If you really think this, you don't fully understand the CAGED system.
I don't like modes. I understand them totally but they are so off the wall. Minor rocks most killer songs we love today and major on occasion too. All the great songs are in a minor pentatonic key or scale as stairway, back in black, 18 and life, you shook me all night, rock me like a hurricane and no one like you a classic Am pentatonic song.. Killer great licks. Sure the theory behind these I want to know but the sound? No thanks they are just not pleasing to me. Am and C#m rock
Man, I like your videos but when it comes to you trying to teach.. I don't understand a thing.. I think you're so skilled that you forget what it's like to be a beginner.. I see things like this in martial arts all the time.. It's hard for someone who has been doing something for awhile to communicate their craft to a beginner.. but I digress.. I still enjoy your videos nonetheless. lol.
I felt the same way about his videos for awhile. I actually tried GSS he keeps pushing and it helped considerably. That and continuously finding other RUclipsrs with other POVs. Tyler really is a great teacher but for me it just a matter of learning to relate the material to something I understood better. Maybe consider GSS. 50 bucks for a year and it's honestly a treasure troce of content.
C major = D Dorian = E Phrygian = F Lydian = G Mixolydian = A Minor = B Locrian. C MAJOR.
Exactly, this guy forgets to tell this stuff! And totally misguided me when I was trying to understand modes. From him I understood that C dorian has the same notes as C ioninan, but the starting point is different. Actually it is D dorian.
Petti Guitar Backing Tracks what about minor?
A Minor = B Locrian = C major = D Dorian = E Phrygian = F Lydian = G Mixolydian. A MINOR
This explained everything. I feel like punching people for blabbing on about something so simple thank you.
C ionian = ...
The fasted way to learn any mod of any scale is in the video description

is there one lesson/theory/method that helps us instantly build a complex chord on the fretboard? for example something crazy like f#7(b5)/13 which is probably not a real chord. but ya, wouldnt it be easier though if one video could explain once and for all, what these characters "#, /, ( ), b, M, m, aug, dim, sus, add, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13" simply mean, help breakdown the given compound chord, figure out the finger positioning on the fret board?
mytubeaccount yeah I would like to know this as well
mytubeaccount learn basic tertian harmony before you try to learn jazz chord theory like that
"Yousician - Your personal music teacher" heheheheh....
Parsa Mirzaagha you mean about triads?
mytubeaccount triads included yes. Tertian harmony means harmonies (chords) built in 3rds. Learn the basics of it like triads and seventh chords.

your guitar playing is amazing ! that tone you use really needs perfect playing to sound good and you nail it !
Awesome...i learned a couple of chords from the major 7th vamp.. Would love a lesson on "cool chords" in the most popular guitar keys.
Thanks Tyler, this helped alot and I'm not even done the video yet!
Awesome lesson Tyler!!! Love your explanation of the function and color of each mode.
I kinda figured it out by myself about the 3NPS and that e aeolian comes from g ionien , that was such a break through making things easy
I find this confusing. You nailed it with the chords are what matter, and what sounds like home will determine what mode you use, but you can really make any chord you're playing on sound like home if you play the mode but focus on the four-note arpeggio that makes sense over that chord.
So for example if we're working in... the key of D, let's say, and running a 2-5-1 (E, A, D), for the five chord (A7) play your A7 arpeggio (1, 3, 5, b7 = A, C#, E, G) overtop the A Mixo mode (however you chose to learn modes, Mixolydian is the fifth interval) and simply by focusing on the four notes in the arpeggio WITHIN the modal scale and resolving your phrases (mostly) to those notes, you'll still get the modal sound rather than simply playing D Ionian over the whole thing.

Imo, just learn your arpeggios and remember that modes are just starting on different intervals of the same core scales.

These guys vids are great thank you
Thus it has been decided Music is Win! Cheers great lesson #Nashville loves you😘
Excellent lessons here.
the fastest way to learn these modes - is just find the other scale you think that fits. For example, when jamming D Dorian track - start at DMinor Pentatonic then find the other scale such as AMinor scale and as long as you know the diatonic tones you can forget about the modes and what they are even called.
Love your music room!
This video was really helpful and filled in some gaps for me. The part I still struggle with is choosing the right chords to define the most appropriate mode. For instance, what chords would imply a phrygian mode?
That actually helps a lot. Thanks! I didn't realize it was that easy. I understood the chords that make up the major key, and I knew that the third mode's (Phrygian) root is just the third of the first mode, but I didn't put it together that the first chord in the progression has such an impact in implying the mode. I guess that makes sense inherently. So if my progression is in the key of C, and it is: C, Em, G, Am -- Ionian fits naturally, but if I were to start the progression on Em, it automatically is drawn towards Phrygian? Are there any obvious caveats with this formula?
If you're notating and say you wanna make a song with f lydian. Would your key signature be f as that is the tonal center. Or sense it's a mode of c would your key signature be c?
Hey nice Sun Studios shirt man! I live in Memphis.
I have checked Guitar Super System, but what I do wanna know is...
Wen level 3?
...is this that dude from Brutal Death Horse?
how to find some modal chords on a fretboard? first i want to play some chords that i like, then i want to practice some licks over that progression. not the other way around
The mode you'd play over a chord progression changes depending on the "home" or "main" chord of the progression. so if you played a bar of a C major and then half a bar of an E minor, you'd play the ionian mode over the progression because the C is the main chord of the progression
Does the 3 notes per string work on the second, third, etc string?
3 note "per string"
Is there a channel like this out there for Piano?
personally i like michael new. he uses a whiteboard on screen, that's pretty cool.
Check out pianote

Please do a video upon intervals🙂
Probably too late to ask, but why would you consider the flat 6th of the natural minor scale the characteristic note over the minor 3rd?
Is guitar super system better than tomo's course or justin guitar?
Are modes appliable only to major scales or are they a separate thing from the major/minor formula?
why there is so much high frequency noise in this video ? Anyway thanks for the video.
I understood all the way until he began playing it on the high e-string. How do you know, which notes should be played? Because before, he played them moving up one step. Unlike now, where they all start on an E. Can anyone explain?
Lamwoc half All Major scales follow this exact pattern: W W H W W W H (whole, whole, half, whole, whole,whole, half). The distance between the first two notes in a Major scale is a whole step.
Thank you.
But how can you transpose that to the high e-string, like Tyler does. He makes the dorian mode start on an E, where as it would normally start a whole step up.
@Brian Robles - Only the "Ionian" mode of the key uses the pattern WWHWWWH. When you move to the "Dorian" mode of the same key, you have to rotate the first W to the end, so you now play WHWWWHW. The "Phrygian" mode is then HWWWHWW, and so on.
So, to play E-Dorian on the E-string, start with E-open, then play the next note a whole step away (2-frets), then half step (1-fret), etc.
Maverick Doe so basically I memorise the whole and half patterns, then just play them, starting on the e string?
So it'd be e, f#, g, and so on?
I finally get it, thank you, man!
Lamwoc He was just playing it like that so he could play them while the low e string was ringing out, thus highlighting the different qualities each mode has so you can hear them.

what color is that on your walls
Berklee is win ;)....You're a beast Tyler
Thanks for totally confusing me... C Ionian - root C. D dorian- root D.. so if I want to play dorian mode in key of C, I just have to play D dorian shape but from C root??
Thank you!!!
What sting gauge do you use?
Help?? The part that confuses me is when he says "Just play the notes from a different starting point" ex: Dorian- start on D Phrygian- start on E etc, etc... but the notes and intervals are different for each mode, and the pattern between Whole/Half Steps are different as well. So how does the starting from a different note correlate with the different intervals/patterns. Thanks!!
Jessie Trotter you're starting from the next note up in the major scale while still following the intervals of that original major scale. This will sound like a continuation of the major scale or "Ionian" mode until you change the chords that are played behind each mode.
I understand everything you're saying but I find it almost impossible to put it onto the fretboard. Maybe spend more time with it?
This video is so informative, it should get million views,best mode tutorial 🐧🐧

It isn't! Use the major scale as a base, and then change these scale tones for the mode... (b means to lower it by a step, # to raise it).
Dorian: b3, b7
Phrygian: b2, b3, b6, b7
Lydian: #4
Mixolydian: b7
Aeolian (Minor): b3, b6, b7
Locrian: b2, b3, b5, b6, b7
Brian, thanks for this comment. I am confused, though. I thought all of the notes in different modes were the same? And that all that is changing is the emphasis (and really the note you start and finish on?). Is my understanding of modes off?
The dorian mode of C is the A# major scale? I saw the notes of both scales and they have the same notes, but I dont know if both work in a jazz progresion, help plis 🙏
No, the the dorian mode of C is D dorian. That's why they're called major scale modes, each mode has all the same notes as a C major scale. :D
You know what, you're almost right. C dorian does have the same notes as the A# major scale, but you said the dorian mode of C so I misunderstood, my bad! But the theory is still corect.
Are there minor scale modes?
The Aeolian Mode is known as natural minor
The major scale is a "parent scale". The minor scale is the Aeolian mode, a mode of the major scale (based on the major scale's 6th degree).
The major scale was developed and used first, historically. It was some time later that the other tonal centers (modes) were explored or "came into fashion". That is why the major scale is considered the parent scale, and the other scales (modes) are not.
Hope that helps
He moves position 1 Ionian around the neck in different keys to show the pattern staying constant, but you would do exactly the same thing with CAGED shapes. What the heck is he talking about?
You actually made it more confusing
3 note per string idea didn’t quite make sense to me. I still can’t keep the modes straight.
When tyler starts playing with the E bass ringing out, is he actually playing E ionian/E dorian? Because it looks like he is playing different notes.
Om ar yes, you can tell by the roots being octaves of the bass note. If it wasn't, it would just be an added bass note like A/E
What about 3 notes per string scales and perfect 4ths tuning?
You mean E-A-D-G-C-F, right? In that case, you would just move the fret numbers on the C and F strings down so that each 3 note set would start on the same fret.
20-mg-of-fukitol Yes, thanks. Just wondered if Tyler has a course for that. Cheers!
you're amazing man!
but.. how about put subtitles in your videos? I'm from other nation, and sometimes get really hard to understand :/
Awesome video!
Junior Stryker there's an option on youtube app to turn on the subtitles.
yeah, I know, but it is soooo inaccurate haha, tnx anyway bro

LucianSarbu MD2 I. have Bought a laney Lx 12 Amp thank you
Wow
Do the pentatonic scales have modes too?
Not really. None that I know of at least. Obviously you can change notes that are in the pentatonic scale if you want, but I don't think there are any names for them.
Sometimes when I play the pentatonic scale, I replace the minor 3rd with a major 3rd and leave every thing else alone. Basically when I do that I'm playing the mixolydian mode, but without adding the major 2nd. I don't think there's really a name for it. However it is definitely possible to replace notes in the pentatonic scale. I do it all the time.
Andrew Douglas thank you, that makes sense!
No prob!
that modes like a scale ?? so difficult to understand
301 under !!!!
i wish i could do your guitar super system but my parents wont let me put there credit card info in😓😓😓
Modes piss me off!
duhawma same
have you ever heard of omar rodriguez lopez?
Jose Villalobos I feel like he lives in the phrygian mode as well as the harmonic minor scale. TMV is like my favorite band btw lol.
Music
Rune L. Johansen is
WIN

How much money u take from compressor ad? Please answer. ty
Ok, that's me lost.
yes Friends I have 2 accounts Manoj Rath and This one please check out
how do you learn all of this? Do you know all of this at the top of your head?
Ham m he watches youtube tutorial of course ;) (he gratuated in college)
still he seems to know everything hahahaha
School. I’m learning from theory vids though lol
This video is about has helpful has his paid app. And I’m still lost
Love your Videos! And your guitar super system helped me finally understand the modes..now my solos rock damn way more better :) thank you so much, especially for your great content!
Are scales and mode completely different? Like there is a g major scale and its different from a g major mode?
Scales are just a set group of intervals on the way back to the root. The formula for a scale is always the same. The formula for a major scale is Whole Whole Half Whole Whole Whole Half. Any time you play those intervals you've played a major scale. If you want to make it a minor scale just flat the 3 the 6 and the 7. Hope this helps.
Christian Galvan Scales are about notes and intervals, modes are about tonal center. For example, the G major scale and the A Dorian scale consist of the same notes, but in a different order, and so the interval pattern is not the same. They are in the same key, because they use all the same notes (G, A, B, C, D, E, F# for G major, and A, B, C, D, E, F#, G for A Dorian).
Either one of these scales can be played if the key is G and the chords use only notes found in the key of G. You can play the A Dorian scale and still be playing the G Ionian mode, and you can play the G Ionian scale and be playing the A Dorian mode. Or you could be playing the A Dorian scale and be playing the Dorian mode. What determines which mode is heard is the chords, or pedal tone, or whatever else is also heard while you are playing notes from those scales.
For example, try this. Play a G major chord, then play the G major scale, then the G major chord. Sounds like Ionian, and it "wants" to resolve to G. Now, play an A minor chord, and play the same G major scale, then play the A minor chord again. This time, it wants to resolve to A, not G, and the same G major scale sounds like A dorian, not G ionian.
It's all about context. Learning scale patterns and labeling them as ionian, dorian, etc might help to learn the patterns on the fretboard, but don't confuse those labels with "now I'm playing the Aeolian mode or the phrygian mode because that's what this pattern is. The pattern is just a pattern, and the labels just help to see the key on the fretboard. Any" mode pattern" can sound like any of the related modes (the modes of the same key, like C major, D dorian, E phrygian, etc.). The tonal center determines what the mode is, not the fingering pattern or scale choice.
Hope that helps!
Are you implying that using the CAGED system can cause you to "get stuck in boxes"? If you really think this, you don't fully understand the CAGED system.
He was more than likely implying the Minor Pentatonic shape
Thank you
Yea, my comment did something for once

I own a guitar and i dont understand shit from dis video
why does guitar have to be so hard?
cuz its cool
If it wasn't hard it would be boring. Embrace the challenges!
I don't like modes. I understand them totally but they are so off the wall. Minor rocks most killer songs we love today and major on occasion too. All the great songs are in a minor pentatonic key or scale as stairway, back in black, 18 and life, you shook me all night, rock me like a hurricane and no one like you a classic Am pentatonic song.. Killer great licks. Sure the theory behind these I want to know but the sound? No thanks they are just not pleasing to me. Am and C#m rock
Tyler, why spend all this time on theory when we could just like, listen to Taylor Swift 'n stuff? And like, play guitar like she does? 'And, yeah...
...you teares up the verbulation, why!
has anyone ever told u that you look like Tintin? if grow the front part of your hair, you'd be a real life Tintin
Anyone already good with these but still confused about modes? Ya i know you do
Modes, the bottleneck of music theory.
So damn complicated.
Man, I like your videos but when it comes to you trying to teach.. I don't understand a thing.. I think you're so skilled that you forget what it's like to be a beginner.. I see things like this in martial arts all the time.. It's hard for someone who has been doing something for awhile to communicate their craft to a beginner.. but I digress.. I still enjoy your videos nonetheless. lol.
I felt the same way about his videos for awhile. I actually tried GSS he keeps pushing and it helped considerably. That and continuously finding other RUclipsrs with other POVs. Tyler really is a great teacher but for me it just a matter of learning to relate the material to something I understood better. Maybe consider GSS. 50 bucks for a year and it's honestly a treasure troce of content.
