Thank you for the information! I find it interesting, but I would kindly prefer if you could focus on and elaborate on each mode individually as a full lesson. It feels like too much information at once. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching! Let me know which part is confusing and I’ll address them. In this video, I only want to show how we make the modes. What I want people to take away from this video is all we’re doing is shifting the scale by one note. The first thing that anybody that wants to learn the modes just has to start and stop the scale on each letter of the scale. C then D etc. that’s the very first step. If we can’t play the scale that way, then we are always repeating the same part of the scale. Thanks again.

I think that's the worst way to learn the spunds of the modes. The way to really hear the difference between the sounds of the modes is to start from the same root note. Ie, compare E Ionian to e Dorian and e aeolian, e Lydian, e mixiolydian etc. Learn which scale degrees have been flattened and which have been sharpened, which notes really give each mode its character. You pointed out the #4 in the Lydian, people should understand that the aeolian mode has a flattened 3rd 6th and 7th, whereas Dorian has tge flat 3rd and 7th, but the 6 is not flat. Mixilydian is a major scale with a flat 7th.
I appreciate your response. Yes what you’re saying is absolutely correct, but if I had done a video about all of that instead of just showing you how to spell a mode, that would’ve confuse the shit out of people who have no idea what a mode is. What was the very first thing you learned about modes? It was that. Modes are the same scale in the most basic form. Learn that fist then learn the rest. I am only showing, and again as the video says very, very clearly, I’m just showing you how you make the modes. If you don’t understand what it looks like at first, how would you possibly know the rest? There are plenty of videos out there demonstrating 1/2 step whole step of modes, this is only showing you how those are stacked up. Remember, people have to start somewhere, sometimes that’s just by spelling. I would suggest you go make a video of this yourself and put it out there. There’s plenty of need for guitarists on RUclips to explain how they teach. Go do it yourself put out a video.
This is how most people learn it and you quickly realize the "modes" all sound the same. You're starting on a different note but the scale intervals don't change. There's no added color or emotion. But there's a Mr. Myagi moment we all have when realizing the patterns we memorized unlock powerful scales, if you know how to hear them. Record yourself playing an A. Just the note, not the chord. Quarter notes for 60 sec on your phone. Play that back and run through all 7 patterns starting from A. Now you can hear the modes!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll make a follow up video with everyone's comments and personal experiences. I'd like to get other guitarists' ideas that helped them make sense of it. The more perspectives the better.
Thank you for sharing. Very clear and helpful
