This is very pertinent to what I have recently discovered, and now can expand upon. I realized I always failed to understand modes because I tried to use the same chords as the Major Scale's and for some reason D (for example) would never feel like home. Once I realized I can just hammer D on the bass while playing white keys to force the Dorian to come out, a whole new world of possibilities opened up. Your other videos on each mode will greatly help me, thank you. Since you asked for suggestions for future videos, I have two distinct issues when trying to compose that might be interesting to talk about: 1 - Rhythm. I have no flexibility because I barely have any vocabulary to talk about rhythm other than straight out beatboxing them. I learned how to count my oney and a twoies, how to notate it, but composing with rhythmic variation - or even knowing when I should add variation and what would be the effects to expect is a mystery box. 2 - Planning. Maybe this sounds kinda vague, but I'm a visual artist. When I want to draw a piece, it doesn't matter if it's a simple character or an entire army fighting a dragon: I can sketch out the rough idea in a matter of minutes, to capture the overall 2D composition and be able to visualize what I want the full piece to be. Then it's just a matter of spending another 1000 hours polishing it carefully to actualize that sketch that only I can understand into a picture others can also enjoy. In the same vein, I'd love to understand how to create musical "skeletons", the draft that defines the overall feeling and structure of a song. I can pick progressions, harmonies, scales, signatures and whatnot, but without a quick idea in my head of what they'd sound like beforehand it feels more like the puzzle-solving through rules that I undertake decide the final outcome, my initial goals are lost along the way. Currently (re)studying counterpoint which seems to help, but there can be many more elements I'm unaware of (and, of course, the rhythm/beat). Hope those are relevant topics! Enjoying the channel so far, let's pray the algorithm gods take upon your offerings.
