The modes of harmonic minor are seldom explored and often misunderstood, but they contain an entire universe of abstract harmonies. Although the 1st and 5th modes are fairly common, I think more attention should be given to some of the others as they can create truly unique sounds.

MOST USEFUL, RANKED (in my opinion)
Harmonic Minor (mode 1)
Phrygian Dominant (mode 5)
Dorian #4 (mode 4)
Ionain #5 (mode 3)
Lydian #2 (mode 6)
Locrian Natural 6 (mode 2)
Ultralocrian (mode 7)
Jens Larsen's channel: / jenslarsen02
NOTE- Quist does a good job of jamming with Ultralocrian in his jam track! I wish I had listened to his solo first, it would have given me some good ideas lol. Here's his track: • Ultralocrian Mode Jam ...
At 8:00 I forgot to include the flat signs after the E's when talking about A Dim chords
At 10:18 I should have said "A Augmented Major Seventh", not A Augmented Seventh.

The awesome thing with locrian and alterations on locrian are that they are super unstable and make for a great uneasy feel for things like metal or action video game soundtracks. Or, you could make locrian like a bluesy kinda phrygian scale if you make the harmony omit the 5 but the melody use the flat 5 like King Gizzard did

@dudeman5303 3 жыл бұрын

To be fair he's just using two chords that are characteristic of that mode, each mode has specific intervals that are characteristic of it. When the chords are heard showing those specific intervals, it informs you which mode it is and makes it easier to solo with odd modes. Like with the Lydian mode, it's a major scale but with a sharp 4th so when you want to give the cue that you're in Lydian you'd play a major chord with an added sharp 4th to show it's lydian, and then you'd play the Lydian mode over it with added focus on the major triad arpeggio with the added #4. The chord combinations he's choosing come from that, if you've got an odd scale that you want to make sound more natural you put chords based on that mode in the progression with those "characteristic notes" and it then makes those notes a part of the "tonal center".

@kkarx 2 жыл бұрын

@Dude Man The thing is it is the specific mode only if you play it over the tonic chord so using just one chord makes perfect sense. Jake used two chords for each demonstration so he in fact played two modes.... If you play the same scale over all 7 chords you'll play all 7 modes. They change naturally. It might be quite confusing

@felonyx5123 3 жыл бұрын

The crazy ultra locrian won't make anything that gets played on the radio, but it is very video game final level. Diving into the lair of evil, death around every corner, if the player wants some stable chord resolutions they'll have to fight their way to the end and earn them.

Phrygian Dominant might be the most metal friendly scale. You have that flat 2nd which helps when you're doing heavy chugs, but you also get a major triad in the root right from the off, which is a surprisingly bright spot in such a dark mode.

@nandorondelli5003 3 жыл бұрын

I really like your choice of demonstrating all these modes taking the same note as root instead of always using the notes of A harmonic minor to build what would be B Locrian 6, C Ionian #5 etc. I've seen lots of people struggling with modes when they´re presented using all the same notes (like C Ionian, D dorian, E phrygian etc), because their ears just keep gravitating towards that first root note. Building all these modes from A, in my opinion, highlights the differences in sound so much more precisely! Great video!

I find this video to be superb since not only does he clearly and articulately explain all of the modes in a concise and easy to understand manner, explores the alternative possibilities of the hidden triads within the modes, yet also gives progressions one can use to solo these modes, making the modes useful and applicable. Many teachers merely explain the modes, but don't give practical applications for them. Jake does this, making this tutorial of Harmonic Minor modes stand out above many other tutorials.

Excellent video. I use phrygian dominant all the time, it's a little "exotic" but still super consonant and groovy, and it never fails to make people look up and smile. Just gotta try not to sound too much like Hava Nagila or Come Out and Play! That fourth mode though... Jake never even hit the Em but try as I might to tonicize "A" in my head I just can't help but hear it as a looping IV and V. Apologies to Romania I guess.

@SignalsMusicStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Great points! I don't blame your ear for hearing the actual tonic there - in an "actual composition", i'd probably to to spend way more time on the iv chord in order to fool you into hearing that as the tonic. In this case, it switches so fast to V that you are just waiting for the i lol. I do think that scale is really worth exploring though, even just as a compliment to a minor chord, it has a great spice

One of the interesting things I noticed during this is that you don't mention the fact that in a particular orientation, the Diminished 7th chord has a diatonic note available that's one semitone below the chord root. This actually comes up in your jam track under the Phyrigian Dominant scale, where you Bbdim7/A is playing that note one semitone below as well. With that note as the root, the whole chord becomes A7b9, which is how some music theorists see the Diminished 7th chord. You can convert the dim7 to a 7b9 working from any of the 4 notes, but that root note would not be diatonic to the scale (this isn't always a bad thing!), and there may be an enharmonic spelling mistake that you need to think about (nor is this!), similar to the one with the F minor chord in A Harmonic Minor.

I like where you are going with this. That biiº chord over the tonic is one of my favorite sounds and i never really parsed it as a 7b9 chord! it's funny too cause i did a whole video on how viiº7 is just really a V7b9 without a root.... but i never put it together in the sense of just hanging out on a tonic and then playing a biiº on top.

@@SignalsMusicStudio I actually discovered that chord when writing something in Dorian #4, where I put a G# in the bass on a D#dim7 chord, and was confused as to why it sounded so good (and better than any other bass note I tried to "fix" it with)... This chord (G#7b9) is one of the ones with a spelling mistake (the C should be spelled as B#), but that not too much of a practical concern. A small note on chord voicings: notes a semitone apart can sound very rough when played together, especially in the bass. For the A7b9, Bb should probably not be the second lowest note in the chord, unless it's at least an octave away from the A, and even then it might still sound a little weird. Both C# and E are good places to start stacking notes from, here.

You lost me when you said harmonic minor has a natural 7 and not a sharp 7.

@SignalsMusicStudio 3 жыл бұрын

i will get torn apart if I call it a sharp seventh. "natural seventh" means the seventh note of the major scale. but yes, we did take the seventh note of our aeolian scale, and sharp it. so i get what you're saying but the tradition is to call it a natural seventh and not a sharped seventh.

I'd just have called it a major 7th to avoid that kind of confusion

It’s wasn’t until you talked about Dorian #4 that I realised, within the major scale, there is no point at which any of the available major chords falls a whole tone above any of the available minor chords. It knew it all along, but just hadn’t connect those dots within the fuller picture. Thanks for your immensely useful tutorials! 👊

@purplesun3792 3 жыл бұрын

I use harmonic minor modes when chord progressions involve a diminished chord just because I think it sounds good. But watching this lesson has absolutely inspired me to focus on the chords themselves and create some nice sounding modal jams. A lot of what you're doing here sounds very metal/proggy and I dig it.
