Great video as usual David. Hope you don’t mind if I make an observation. Using a guitar with no fret markers makes your explanations about positions a bit harder to follow. Other than that I loved it as it actually clarified a question I asked you on the guitar infusion course a few weeks back.

hey man, I love how you teach things, you're a hidden gem here in YT 👍

You sir need 1 million subscribers yesterday. Best video I've ever seen introducing this topic, I needed this video thank you.

This is the one piece of information I've been looking for and have been stuck on for a while. One of the main reasons I stick to rhythm guitar and not lead. Thank you for explaining how to not jump from one position to another creating that higher lower effect "Jumpy Effect" as you called it. Glad I found this channel.

I am all up for more improvisation lessons! It is a fundamental idea that every musician should grasp for all situations or context. Awesome work!

Amazing David.I had few teachers of guitar but you aren't only very good player,but you are the best teacher.Thank you so much.I wish i met you 20 years ago!

This lesson makes more sense to me than most of the videos I've watched on playing over chords and musicality in scales.

OMG lol i never though to think of the Root on the each string and playing lefr and right. What a game changer!

Yeah, I see how the software (if I may summarize) after rewatching- -the software actually flushed out the need to transition to Phrygian. Still a little tough to grasp,- but with consistent practice here, I see this as very powerful. Thanks for sharing this.

Great timing for this video. Last week I was working on identifying which pentatonic position to use based on where the root is of the chord being played, to help with solo continuity. Great stuff. And I really liked how listening to you show the Jumpy effect emphasized that its also a valid option. Love your videos. Merci beaucoup.

Amazing lesson! Greetings from Brazil!

Great video. Could you use a guitar with fret markers for the lessons?

David, your gustar is so gorgeus and stunning. Really interesting video, I like your way to expose concepts and make examples. Thanks.

Great video David. Interesting. You explain this very clearly in the first part of your Guitar infusion course. It opened up a much wider variety of choices for me. It's a great course and I highly recommend it. By the way, my Kiesel CS6 arrives in two days! Yes, I'm a bit excited. Kevin O'Rourke

Thank you so much!

You’re amazing, thank you!

Your videos are SO HELPFUL. That, and your TONE is KILLER !!

Very good guitar tone! Beatiful

Great lesson

Great video. Laying it all out and explanations

Great video, very cool transposing method!

Don't mean to be picky, but I think you should always use a guitar with fret markers for your lessons. This would make it more visual for you followers. Love everything you do. As usual, awesome tone. Thank you so much for all you do!

Another great video that stretches my brain to do more "guitar math"! And then, hopefully, I'll forget it while I'm improvising and yet hear it naturally. One suggestion - using a guitar with no fret markers made it a bit more challenging to follow your lesson, especially when you were demonstrating on the higher frets.

Thank you for all David. Great lesson. Great music also - "Real great music".

Thanks David you're the best!!!

David--great lesson, but...you have so many excellent guitars. Why not use one with fingerboard markers on lessons such as this?

I'm in an R&B band that performs, 'Olivia (Lost & Turned Out).' The outro is Bbmaj7 to Ebm7. I always step on my gherkin trying to play over those changes.

Good... clear usefull.

7:06 He found his pick? What! UnPoSsIbLe

Hey David thanks for sharing this awesome video it is very informative. What software are you using for the diagram.

Got the first half of the video but unfortunately the mode stuff went over my head when the root note was changed. Am determined to suss it one day thanks again for great lesson.

Great video, but I did struggle with your choice of guitar. Ie no fret markers... but thanx...

Great video! What software are you using to map out the scales/modes? Thank you!

A guitar with fretmarks will be more usefull! :) not so easy to follow on the high frets! But a interesting good video!

David I love your lessons but please use guitars with fret markers for lessons to allow us to keep up. All the best!

Superb

Hi David, Do you have a paid course? Love your teaching style. EDIT: Nevermind, found them! This is a topic I have been struggling with regarding modes for a long time. I find that I cannot just jump to any root on the neck and play the mode I want at that position. I _need_ to "walk" my way up/down the neck passing through adjacent positions to "get" to the position I _want_ to play in. While not directly related to playing over changes, it's the same idea but with the intended goal OF the "jumpy affect" -- I want the jumpy affect but in a different pattern at a different position on the neck. I find myself having to pause to think "Ok, I'm playing A Lydian right now at the 5th fret on 6th string. I want to play A Lydian with the A on the 10th fret, 2nd string. So that means I need to play a mode of a note somewhere on the 6th string between frets 8-10 since I know really only know all the modes patterns starting from the 6th string and the 10th fret, 6th string. A Lydian = C# Aeolian. Ok, so I can play C# Aeolian's "pattern" but target the A Lydian sound and capture that A on the 10th fret, 2nd string." Obviously, when improvising, all that thought process doesn't yield great music. I suspect it has to do with the line "since I know really only know all the modes patterns starting from the 6th string" and your ideas in this video about knowing the ROOTS OF THE PATTERN makes a lot of sense. I've been looking for a mental shortcut to be able to "transpose modes" in my mind, to quickly know what relative mode is 'playable' on the 6th string to 'capture' any given note on the fretboard and the notes around it for the mode I'm in. BUT this seems like the wrong approach. If I know the major scale modal patterns by root instead of just knowing the patterns starting from the 6th string, then I can easily move. I realize now that I already do this with pentatonic scales, minor and major -- I'm not sure why this hasn't clicked with me regarding major modes before because they are the same thing as the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale! Dude, it's all connected, everything! THANK YOU. P.S. If you have any other shortcuts, or ways to visualize this (I hope I've articulated my predicament clearly), please let me know!

Unbelievable that you would choose a guitar with no fret markers.

I love your Channel, ALWAYS *GREAT* Lessons / Playing .... One Grip .. Please play a Guitar with 'Dot' Markers, so we can see where you mean on Fret Board ..... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Makes sense to find a common note between the scales and use that as the reference point, as in using Eb (2nd of Db Dorian and b7 of F Dorian). Then you can visualize Eb Phrygian over the Dbmin and Eb Ionian over the Fmin. Of course, you’re still playing Db Dorian and F Dorian because the notes are in reference to the backing track, but the common anchor point helps with navigation and visualization. Just need to see that in all positions up and down the fretboard.

The lesson, I suppose, is good..but didn't really catch it. Would be great another video maybe explaining for hard heads. I do know the 7 modes and basic theory but this one really dont get it. Keep on David

I love your guitar, but as a teaching device it lacks markers to help your students visualize what you are showing us. I own a Keisel also. They are awesome!

David, what is the software that you used on your computer to change the root notes? Looks cool.

How do you have this tone?

Pants get caught up in the lawnmower ..?? bwaaaaaaahahaha :)

I get the overall point, but I gotta say - I kinda like the "jumpy" effect. It sorta adds 2 distinct parts to the conversation...

To repeat what others have asked please use a guitar with fret markers.
