You are the first person who ever mentioned a correlation between modes and the chord tones of the key; ie major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished. That’s kind of a significant point that so many teachers before you never explained to me. It’s like you just opened the door to a huge room in the house that I never knew was there! Excellent lesson Ricky. Thanks!!
Damn, this has got to be the best and easiest way to understand modes that I’ve seen! You could’ve called this video “learn your Modes in less than 10 minutes” and it wouldn’t be clickbait!
You are the master of music theory for guitarists! How is it that no one else teaches like you? I'm totally hooked and ready to buy the book now. Thanks!
Carajo Ricky you are so good teaching that anyone that watches you gets the message, carajo we are so lucky to have you as a teacher....you really get into good music theory.
what an incredible channel and such a great video. For years I'm looking for a way to simplify this and finally this helped! truly helpful lesson and great channel !!!
Awesome lesson! Been watching other Guitar youtube teachers for years. Wish I would have found you first. Best, easiest to understand lessons ever! You are the best guitar teacher I have seen!
helpful video when i am just learning about modes on guitar. would like to see the lower red notes of TAB drawn in for each mode - hopefully in the next video
Great lesson Ricky, you have finally made me understand modes. Because of my history there is a lot of the notes and chords and moving around the fret board has left me baffled but you are slowly bringing me up to speed.
Wow, incredible lesson Ricky. Thanks, once you start playing modes and get used to the sound, its quite easy to apply it to the other four strings then keep going. Looking forward to your chords for modes video.
Modes reside within any major key - if you play the C major scale starting from next note - we get D dorian, E phrygian, F Lydian and so on. Music's interconnectivity always amazes me !
It is not just starting from the next note that gives you the next mode. The tonal center is what has to shift to the next note. So if the tonal center is C then you are in C Ionian but if you take that same scale and the tonal center shifts to the D note then it becomes a D Dorian mode. The harmony also needs to shift to bring out the dorian flavor.
@@ricomajestic I never said that the tonal center shouldn't change. when you start from the next note, say D Dorian, you end on it too, the next octave shifting ahead. It's easier to connect this way. But yes, in the context of playing, if you don't want to change the key and instead modulate to another mode, it's good to bring out the differences from other modes, say how Mixolydian is the same as Ionian, with a flat 7th
Really love the way uou explain things Ricki but I dont know where you are at on the frets. When you switched, where were you at to the root note between the two boxes? The first was a G but when you changed to the pinky on the root was it also on the G or did you move up to a different root?
Hi Ricky what about the other four strings? Is that explained in the other videos you referred to? I couldn't see the link to those videos that you mentioned
Apart from mirroring the E strings you don’t need to think about the other strings. The big rectangle does all the work for you! There’s a playlist at the end of the video you need to tackle first to really extract how this all connects. More videos coming soon!

I found that very helpful Ricky. Gotta save this lesson until I can get to a guitar.
Suddenly my guitar playing went from black and white to colour!! Thank you so much Ricky. EYUP!!
Awesome lesson! Been watching other Guitar youtube teachers for years. Wish I would have found you first. Best, easiest to understand lessons ever! You are the best guitar teacher I have seen!
What a refreshingly simple way of explaining modes! Brilliant!
That's really cool. You can play easily moving from pentatonics to modes and back again with almost no hesitation.
helpful video when i am just learning about modes on guitar. would like to see the lower red notes of TAB drawn in for each mode - hopefully in the next video
That is an AMAZING presentation!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

Bingo. This did it for me. Thank you !
Great news Todd!
Fantastic introduction to modes 😀
Nice Rickey! I'll be honest with you "I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot!
I see what you did there Raj haha 😂
@@rickysguitar I knew you would get it Rickey, Cool!
Really love the way uou explain things Ricki but I dont know where you are at on the frets. When you switched, where were you at to the root note between the two boxes? The first was a G but when you changed to the pinky on the root was it also on the G or did you move up to a different root?
This is great! Just subbed!
Awesome, love it, love you -!..!
IMPORTANT. Fantastic lesson. You must add the word Modes to the Title. No clue that this is a Mode lesson !!!!!
Erm…It’s in the thumbnail…
Most excellent Sir!
Hand drawing all this stuff makes is a much quicker learning experience imo
VG lesson. Pls explain the caged shapes. For instance:G is not a standard G chord shape
Already done that in this video 5 Shapes Great Guitar Players Know (But You Don’t)

Hi Ricky my great teacher and very nice lesson about modes. I want your ebook but I can not afford it . I am blind and disabled.
Hi Ricky what about the other four strings? Is that explained in the other videos you referred to? I couldn't see the link to those videos that you mentioned
