Like modes? Consider buying my ULTIMATE MODAL POSTER: teespring.com/signals-ultimat...
Instead of learning thousands of scale shapes, why not just learn how to use the ones you already have? In this lesson, I'll be demonstrating how one tiny little scale shape can be wielded with infinite power to create all 7 different modal tonalities.
Hopefully this helps you all realize that whatever scale shapes you've learned are totally usable for any sort of modal playing. You just have to really understand the idea of modal tonality.
This is the third video where the prime goal is to help people understand modes, however this is speciically geared towards guitarists. The other two modal videos can be found here-

Finally, someone who uses the word "tonality" correctly! Too many use the word tonality to describe tone colour or timbre. Tonality is, simply put, whether something sounds major or minor. This is good music education as well as a great guitar tutorial. Well done Jake!

@AlldeLucas Жыл бұрын

Imho Jake has a great ability to translate concepts that many turn into a monster in such a easy way to beginners to understand.

@TheCyberSatyr Жыл бұрын

What other terms would you use to describe the tone color or timbre? Since they have to do with tone, I would imagine they fall under tonality as a blanket category. Otherwise, why would microtonal fretted guitars exist? Im seriously asking (because I really dont know, as of right now). I stand by what I said about tonality though, because its literally dependent on the individual schema surrounding the topic.

@mal9948 Жыл бұрын

@@TheCyberSatyr Any discussion around music theory and terminology is interesting and healthy. It’s really good that you are showing such an interest in improving your knowledge of music and because it’s so wide and diverse there is always a lot to learn. Firstly I’d like to point out that I have been playing guitar professionally for many years as a touring musician and studio session player. These days I am teaching music at a secondary college in Australia. I am still playing very regularly, writing and recording. Tonality, as Jake had correctly pointed out, is about whether the music or a particular passage of a piece of music is sounding major or minor eg. is the music in a major or minor key. This is the accepted term to describe this and how it’s used in music and it’s related education. Timbre or tone colour refers to, and this is where it can be confusing, is about the tone of a sound. You could use terms such as glassy, thick, resonant, shrill, dull, smooth, harsh, rich, sonorous, brittle, boomy and so on when describing timbre or tone colour. Timbre (tone colour) is not tonality. As I said earlier this is the accepted terminology that is used universally in music education. I suppose the thing is to get comfortable with these terms and how they are used. Correct use of terminology will make discussions, such as the one we are having, clearer and well focused. I hope this is helpful. Keep enjoying your musical journey. What it really comes down to and the most important aspect is your love of playing and making music. There is nothing more exciting, in my mind anyway. Cheers.

This is one of my favorite guitar lesson channels on YT, and that intro was absolutely brilliant! This guy reinforces things I've known for years, but never applied myself to. Now that I took time off, and started playing guitar and bass again, these videos and their pacing have been invaluable tools for practice and most importantly writing new riffs. I've definitely gotten that spark back, and while it's been a huge combination of a bunch of little things put together, these videos have made a huge difference in keeping things new helping me to continue to innovate. 25 years ago when I started playing bass, any information this comprehensive would have been only available on a VHS tape for at least $20 from the local music store, a booklet that might be a little cheaper, or paying for actual physical guitar lessons. My point is this is all free and easily accessible. I would have paid good money to get lessons like this. Cheers fellow musicians!

This building modes on example of C-mixolidian in F-major, i tried to build C-major natural from C-mixolidian an d now see the difference , 7th half tone down, and I am starting seeing notes instead of shapes. I mean it seems that shapes are important just to remember on automatic level like some default major or minor scale how it builds, but the sounding of scales and modes and how they relate that is more important and this is looking like majic, opens doors to improvising thank you!

When I learned the scales it didn't make sense to me as the notes all ran together. I just learned to play the notes I knew that would fit. It would be nice to find a course that spoon feeds us older guys to understand what the hell we have been playing all these years.

@tom434911 5 жыл бұрын

Great video! This was a good demonstration that "a fingering pattern is not a scale". I spun my wheels needlessly for years off and on, just totally overwhelmed with learning scales, until it finally clicked that if you take the time to actually learn major scales and keys properly - the scale construction (the intervals that make up the scale), learning the actual notes (and in doing so, learning all your keys and key signatures), what scale degree each note is in each key, the basic major and minor chords formed in the key, etc., you don't have to learn anything new to play with a modal feel. You just have to actually KNOW the basics. Learning only fingering patterns and root notes is not enough! Now, I have lost count of how many posts I have made in different videos to explain how "a pattern is not a scale, it can be many scales depending on the context", as you do here. So many people try to take shortcuts and learn "this is 'the ionian pattern', and this is 'the Dorian pattern'..." and so on. It's a first step, but any of those patterns can be any of the modes! No shortcuts, guys! If you want to learn this stuff, learn it right! Learn the fretboard, learn your theory, and apply it. In the end, it is much more beneficial and actually easier to learn than all the shortcut methods. It just takes some time to slow down and learn it. Crawl, stand, walk, and run before you sprint!

What none of them say, which you do, is targeting the notes in the triad is what will produce a particular mode. Just moving a one-note sequence is not enough and your explanation and demonstration are the best! At last, I now get the modes, and it is soooo easy when explained properly. This is also a great exercise for triad recognition.

Jake is the best KZfaq music teacher! I've learned so much since I found your channel. Thank you so much, I only wish I could contribute to your patreon. I'm currently in the infant stages of composing a prog-metal concept album. By learning from your videos, I have been able to inject so much more color than I would've before.

I think that locrian track you did sounded pretty chill, it was good

@IgnacioAOlivar 5 жыл бұрын

it's unusual mode but it's cool if you know how to use it. Locrian for me it's more like a "detail mode", for a bridge between parts in a song, a pre chorus, an introduction to something. The reason that it hasn't good popularity it's the actual styles and songs written in locrian. Example, Bjork. It's a genius as an artist but not everyone like her music. Nordic black metal, the same. In contemporany jazz, with atonalities, odd time signatures locrian it's a regular mode, no more good or ugly than the others. Music it's about feelings, mood. If you as composer feel that a solo in F root locrian it's the right choice to express what your mind and souls tells you, welcome locrian and it's beauty

I am not a big fan of locrian, either, but he played a very nice "diminished"-sounding lick, which is what locrian is about.

@monkeymonk2081 4 жыл бұрын

Locrian is neither a major nor a minor mode and is very unstable. It has two minor thirds making the chord a diminished one... For instance, in the key of C major we have a B°dim giving B Locrian a bad rap.. Steve Vai use it a lot though..😞🐮🐴

A simple comment, "these three notes make it sound like the scale" are so obvious after I heard them that I cant believe I didnt know this. Thank you. This was awesome.

That's your root 3rd and 5th. Their your safe notes. And to get the tonality of the mode youd also add in that modes iconic interval. Like for example in Lydian it would be the 4th interval to get the modal tonality.

Jake, you have an excellent voice for public speaking, or any area of public speaking, such as radio, TV, news caster, university lecturer, music teacher in college, etc. I encouraging you not to limit yourself, not everyone who is a music instructor on the net has the natural physical gifting of a distinctive voice.

You've made music theory unfathomably less intimidating. I've just started learning theory and I can only name the notes on the e string so far and I know the basic chords, but these videos of yours are really encouraging. Subscribe.

Man if you grasped these modes after just learning what notes are on the e string, you're a lot smarter than I am. This showed me how LITTLE I know and to be honest, a bit set back. I need 4 yrs of college and at 55, not happening.

Just having thay guitar on your lap, even if you're just resting at the moment, guaranteed we're going to start playing again as compared to tucking it away. Steve has a complete grasp on the guitar doesn't he. Man, to have 6 months of private lessons with him...priceless. I'm not on a computer to download all his lessons or I would. Believe he's a genius and he sure can shred. I have to find out what I need to play these backup rhythms thesr guys use. That would be huge.....along with some teaching (obviously) lol Peace bruder !!!

I will be watching, rewinding and pausing, this video lesson over and over - there’s so much practical application reinforcing the theory - and / vice versa. Almost all music theory learning requires a piano (I now have a full 88 key electronic piano) but Jake has opened my eyes - and ears (!) - to how to learn and play modes on guitar. Learning music theory on both piano and guitar is going to deepen my learning and applying music theory including modes on both. Jake is THE go-to guitar guy on KZfaq.
