Been playing guitar for decades, watching you tube videos for years, Brian is the best. I don't even think he knows how good he is. Support this dude so he can teach guitar and make the world sound better!
Thank you so much for this, I recently picked the guitar up after a very long spell away from it. I was frustrated with not 'getting' theory, so this time around I wanted to change that. I've watched a few videos lately on modes but not knowing the 2 different approaches was a stumbling block ie the parallel or in sequence approach. Thanks again you're a great teacher 👍
Finally out of all the resources this now makes some sense! Thanks Brian.., can you do a lesson on solo chord chasing long side pentatonic scale.. please!
matinee310 hey glad you found this lesson helpful. Maybe these 2 lessons may be what you were looking for: 1.) www.zombieguitar.com/chord-tone-soloing-series-part-6-all-5-caged-shapes-and-their-respective-pentatonic-positions/ 2.) www.zombieguitar.com/chord-tone-soloing-series-part-7-20-exercises-to-help-your-understanding-of-the-chord-scale-relationship/ Let me know if those help answer your question.
Hey thanks for following me bud! This was actually an older lesson that I made, and I just realized that I never uploaded it to RUclips. So here it is :).
Hey thanks for the comment! Here is one of my more recent lessons on diminished chords: www.zombieguitar.com/how-to-use-diminished-chords-in-a-song-or-chord-progression/ Check that lesson out, and if you have any specifics that you may not understand, let me know and maybe I can add it to the list of new video topics to make.
Nice. Parallel Modes I do a lot of. If you play the 3 major modes over the "1" root you get the 1-4-5. But I must add; the 4th mode is used for "5" chord when its 'NOT' functioning as a Dominant. Play G lydian for the D, the raised 4th of G= (C#) , C# is the major 7th of D. Now G Lydian has all the notes of the D major scale. G Ionian for G (1),. G mixolydian for C (4). G lydian for D. (5) Same works for minor in the key of G, E Aeolian for G, E phrygian = C, E Dorian for the 5th of G = D There's really 3 modes, because the 3 major modes are the minors relative major. Basically, in other words; From the same root I go up a 5th or down a 4th. There's really no reason to play the 1st mode, I sub that for major pentatonic, using that to "fill" in the blanks. Between the 4 mode 123#4567 and 5th mode. 123456b7 the variables you can come up 1234567 Ionian. LOL Ever looked at it that way? So you can use it more than just to hear the differences between modes .apply it non-diatinically. 1-4-5 progressions that use standard 1-3-5 triad chord progressions! As you well know that's pretty much everything on the radio today 😀
OR, you could think in terms of 1 scale. and use "accidentals/color notes" The Accidentals of G major are F and C# the F belongs to C and the C# belongs to D. Adding these as 'target notes' results in the 1 -4 -5 Pretty cool ey
You definitely sound like you know your stuff man! Hopefully that other lesson that I linked you to was able to help you answer your question about why I used that B major in the key of G.
I learned an easy way to remember the order of the Modes. You say " I don't play like my Aunt Lucy" - gives you the first letter of each Mode ; Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian. Neat huh? and yur welcome! : )
Hi Brian. A Dorian is just the 4th mode of E minor correct? I'm confused and parallel modes are explained as if there's more scale patterns to learn. Could you correct me?
I just wasn't familiar with the term parallel Modes. The theory/Harmony book I have calls it Modal Modulation, or modal Interchange. I would like to sub chords, that one video where you made the 3rd degree of G a B major. That was borrowed from Harmonic minor or something!? That's what I thought this lesson was going to explain
Ah man I forgot to reply to your comment about the explanation for that...My apologies. I answered that question here in this lesson: www.zombieguitar.com/where-the-harmonic-minor-scale-is-derived-from-and-when-to-use-this-scale/
Hi, Brian ..Thanks a lot for these lessons. I have been looking for more and more info on music theory to improve this web app www.scalechords.com . This instantly shows you chords within selected scale and fretboard with their locations. Need suggestions and guidance...Thank you once again!

Another light just went off. I can now play all modes and know I'm playing it. Major lesson.
Very informative, thanks as always Brian!
Thanks mate
Amazing lesson , Huge insight into modal playing , Thank you so much , you are a Musical Genius . Everyone must watch this .
Thanks for the words Bobby! Glad you liked the vid 😀
Thankyou

Hey thanks for following me bud! This was actually an older lesson that I made, and I just realized that I never uploaded it to RUclips. So here it is :).
What about going D Dorian > C Dorian > Bb Ionian > A Phrygian > D Dorian > F Aeolian > A Mixolydian ?
Brian, with all the compliment you're getting here its hard to say something new. So just, thnx man for the most sensible lessons on yt.
Alex Versloot thanks bud!
A very intersting lesson , thanks dude , can you do a lesson on the diminsh chords and dim basics ?
