Thanks for all your videos - you are the best teacher online, to the point, clear, and concise. Fabulous assistance.

MY MIND IS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN THANK YOU

My favorite teacher on KZfaq. Thanks a lot! I have a ton of theory books but so much clearer and easier to see and watch your explanations.

I just want to tell you, you put together all the pieces for me and blew my mind. Thank you so much, music is so amazing. Keep making videos, you've earned another subscriber!

Another way to remember the names of the modes: Ionian open the DOORian of the FRIDGEean to get myself some yoghurt. I take off the LIDean and MIXelidian the Aeloian yoghurt. Then I LOCKrian the door so [insert any name] can't get in.

Wonderful explanation of modes!

Thanks, a great video as always. A tip some may not know. Windows has a magic standard feature called the Snipping Tool. I pause the video take a snip of the screen which can then be saved any way you wish. I keep a word page open and simply paste it to add my notes later.

A perfect lesson; I really enjoyed it!

Excellent treatment of this topic in 10 min.!

Brilliant! It's all just clicked for me, thank you!

Crystal clear! thank you!!

This lesson is very very helpfull sir.Thank you very much

this is amazing~ I've been trying to understand it by reading articles but i couldn't understand it still. You've made i easier for me to understand and memorize! I just have a question though. How can we use mode in composition? ^^

Dude I freaking love you I'm in 9th grade and your videos is going to put me in one the top players thanks its also going to impress my band teacher

This is extremely helpful thank you 😊😊😊

Thanks a lot.. very helpful!

Probably the best way to remember which comes first, out of Locrian or Lydian, whilst using that mnemonic is that Lydian comes immediately before Mixolydian (which itself contains “lydian” in its name).

Your videos are really helpful :)

Very Well Explained!

This is great!Thanks A lot

Very nice explaining to sir

U r the best God bless you

I understand what you have said and it is useful. However, what I don't understand is what practical use is it? After all, if I'm reading or playing from a score I don't ask myself what mode is it?

whats the difference between scales and modes? what is their purpose?

Great. The patterns + the questions sent the brain gears spinning. Any mode is a step on a major scales so there is an easy way. Your circle clock is burned into my brain. I see two sharps, that is D major: root required is G, DEFG fourth step is G answer Lydian on G. Next question Mixolydian on E: Mixolydian is fifth step, EFGA (forward 4 as all add to 9) gives A major F#G#C#. Compose own question Dorian on F Dorian is second step, must be Eb giving BbEbAb Thanks a million

Ok, refreshing myself on modes and I get them! However, this is just the scales. So in the quiz at the end when you have Lydian on G, this is otherwise known as D Lydian, correct? And Mixolydian on E would be A Mixolydian, right? So when playing, are you always required to play the D chord in the first example, and an A chord in the second example, while running up and down the modal scales? Where I get lost is what is happening in the, say, left hand, if the right hand is playing the scale. Because I would think that would affect the mode.

thank you, this has been very helpful, can't wait to practice modes now

thanks

I heard these called "church" modes, is that also correct nomenclature?

Very good tutorial! It was very useful that video!

Does anyone watch the blooper reels at the end?
