Probably my nicest intro yet. Did you learn anything about scales from this video tho?! Also, 52 Week Guitar Player is open for enrollment until JUNE 30. We will only be accepting 100 new students. Enroll here: brandondeon.com/52weekguitarplayer-page

If this is for 5 year-olds, then I applaud the 5 year-olds of today. This had me confused 3 minutes in.

Here's the mnemonic I use to remember the order of the modes: I Don't Play Loud Music At Lunch Ionian, Dorian, Phrigian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian

Need no scales, I got cigarettes.

Bro is definitely the nicest guitar player and guy in the world 😊💀

This is the only channel on KZfaq to shit on the audience and they applaud 👏

best guitar theory guy out there. Literally all you need to start without useless talking and other bullsht. If only you were there while I was starting out. keep on with those videos

Do I need my fishing license for this?

Because of brandon now I don't smoke cigarettes anymore and start to use cocaiinnaa ❤

Keep it up with these concise few minute videos! Super helpful to learn, reference, and share with others.

Honestly, I think the approach of starting modes from each note from a major scale is really useless in a practical way. Things like “if you wanna play F lydian, think about the C major scale but start on F”, and not only this is confusing, imagine wanting to play B lydian, you would have to figure out a scale in which B is the 4th note and then play that scale from it. It seems simple in paper, but imagine you’re improvising over a song a it has 2 borrowed chords from let’s say phrygian, it’s too complicated to use this approach in an improvising scenario. Me personally, think “formulas” are way easier to grasp. I.g. Lydian has a #4, so if you want to play C Lydian, just play C major and raise the fourth, makes so much more sense. Another interesting way of looking at modes, is to relate the minor modes to the minor pentatonic scale, since for example, Mixolydian si just adding the major third to the pentatonic. Hope this helps someone struggling to learn modes (just like I did)

I wish there were videos like this 20 years ago!

Great video! Great structure of the information. Please do more of these short but full of information videos!

Seems like things are going better and better for you. You deserve the success. I hope it continues.

I watch these everytime they come up but I have been struggling with a way to understand modes and this is a great simplification. Thank you, now to practice

“Playing guitar is a great way to express your creativity, and to learn how to play it here are the most rigid, math-like and creativity-killing set of rules you’ve ever heard” And yes I’m mad because I’m confused

Well done . Your method of teaching opened my old brain up and I learned a lot in 7 minutes.

This dude is a cross between POWER THIRST ENERGY FOR MEN and a guitar teacher

lol, you're the guy that keeps pooping up on my facebook ads. you've helped me a lot! thank you for this.

Great video, really want further knowledge of scales and next video about them!

I finally fully understand all the modes. Thanks bro beanzil

Great stuff. I’d definitely be interested to see the harmonic minor and melodic minor videos if you decide to make them.

Great explanation!

Excellent performance 👍

Liked and Subscribed.

At 1:03 the term "accidental" is being used incorrectly. Accidentals refer to a sharp or flat that is placed to the immediate left of a note. The sharps or flats within the key signature itself are not considered accidentals.

Great title, Matt. And those lyrics! I was almost expecting you to mention “WTC 7” and “Event 201”.

Brandon is good! No two ways about it

Hell of a gud class buddy

Hahaha oh shit man. 5 seconds in I have subscribed.

I seem to use Ionian, aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian most. After pentatonic minor and major. Putting it all together is the hard part over chord changes.

thanks

The anger in this video is ridiculously helpful 😂

Nice video

my head hurts now but thank you this was helpful i think

I would like if you covered the 2 minor scales. I already understand basically where all the modes come from but I haven't heard anyone cover the 2 minor modes

Go for it harmonic minor and melodic is worth it :)

😍😍😍 i need this typesof video

ok that's it I hated when people say Ghost is not metal. Ghost is METAL, and that is final

I just look that way!

i'm 47 and i confirm i'm like in the picture at the start

6:27 I hope this video does well and I would like you to cover the harmonic minor and melodic minor modes RAHHHH

Check out the album Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. Each song on the album is in a different mode. (As the title is just a mnemonic for the modes) It's such a cool album that got me interested in learning about music theory, and plus the songs are just awesome (and check out the band, they are music theory geniuses and have soooo many great songs AND albums)

worth mentioning that at 4:35 C Aeolian has Eb and Ab, not E and A

man that a sick tele... i really like how it doesn't have those skinny tall frets... what kind of tele is that?

@4:38 there's an error in the graphics: the Aeolian/Minor has Ab and Eb

If its all the same notes why call it different modes...just because yoyre starting it at a different note??

Great video! Very clean, however, after all the years I have tried, I see how it works but I CANNOT incorporate it. It's just too much, too overwhelming. I have always had a mental block with this. I play by ear via shapes.

I CACKLED SO HARD LMFAO

Im 10 years in and still on minor pentatonic

My main problem with scales is not really understanding, it's remembering.

So let me get this straight. If you take the Locrian mode in the key of C and then change it into the Locrian scale in the key of C you end up with the Locrian mode in the key of Db.

so if i understand correctly it's always the same pattern,but depending on what fret you start on it has a different name?

Bro is literally Gordon Ramsay but in music

please give us harmonic and melodic minor coverage

Bro is teaching stuff which we may have to pay for it, always glad Davie504 welcomed you to Us.

My five year old just had an aneurysm trying to work this out. 🥺

More please?

brandon is god.

Please do the other video

0:00 sorry dad... 😢

I don t need scales, my old guitarist instinct sharpened by cigarettes and acdc will gide me through every impros

made my day. This is great. shit on me as most of us are stupid, but want to become better :)

This is really one of the guitar videos ever

I got my first gold star! It's probably because I'm not on cigarettes.

my brain rejects modes. i just understand that sometimes the target notes shift. six of one…

Ive been playing guitar for 30 years. Mostly self taught. I write and record originals, so coming up with melodies and solos has been such a nightmare since I dont really know any theory or scales.. so Im trying to learn what I shouldve done years ago... I do feel ridiculous for asking this, but why does there seem to be an extra note in these scales?. Im seeing that most scales have 7 notes, as shown in the text for each of the scales...but when hes playing out the scale, theres always one extra note being played...Like... "D DORIAN - D E F G A B C" which has 7 notes, yet 8 were played. what the heck am I missing here?

I need to read a book

would of been helpful if the fret numbers were there also in diagrams

Ok. Could we have another version for 4 1/2 year olds?

I must be 4 years old.

His father is the angriest guitar player in the world.

Its called, turn on some music , stick to one string and attempt to play along. Then add a string when you feel comortable. Abracadabra your playing music without having to listen to anyone seeming overwhelming.

I love Aeolians

I'm lost 😢

Same mistake again. How do you use them? How do they sound in relation to chords and chord progressions.

Hmm, maybe you could explain it to me like I'm 4?

Guitar scales explained like Davie504

So what about the fish scale?

5 year olds these days hear Fuck as a normal word

Whats with the names of these scales? Sounds like characters from a role playing game.

Brain Hurts

0:00

Ya I caught none of that

Intervals, intervals but how I use this crap to make my solos sound cooler?

You are the nicest guy in the world ❤️🌍

I love music theory, but it doesn't love me.

Hey Im 4 and I didnt get this.

С lydian is a forth degree of G Which means that if I play G major scale, I also play C lydian. Why 4rth degree? Maj scale -> Dorian -> Phrygian -> Lydian (№4) Which means that if you know all the Maj scales, you can play any mode. Bonus: every Maj scale has it's relative minor a.i. Alien mode or some SH, which is 6th degree. For example. If you play G maj scale you actually play E minor scale/mode. But nobody of you would use that, cuz you gonna go play you penta I know you c*nts Supergame? Nah I would take the money.

I feel like calling sharps and flats "accidentals" is rather offensive. It's like you're calling them an unfortunate incident that happened unintentionally. I prefer to call them differently abled notes.

Good video. Please though refrain from the yelling. It’s loud as hell compared to everything else.

Take the piss out of people learning the guitar .

Way too aggressive for me…. Even if I learned something.

Bro just play a solo

Some KZfaqrs should shut up and get on with it, others should take a breath and slow down a bit!

Tu es encore en retard. You're late again.

Dude just play the A minor...

Your thumbnail is wrong - the scale after Ionian moving up the neck is dorian, not Phrygian. Doesn’t instill a lot of confidence that you have any clue based on that alone. Looked at it again and the scales to right are also wrong….you’re missing locrian and aeolian. Weak effort dude.

I was the 666 like

Dumb opening just to get people’s attention yet lose respect and credibility
