After a "few" years, I am finally at the level where the info in these lessons is starting to break through. Fantastically presented with enough detail to be useful but not overwhelming. I also really enjoy your guitar stile and overall mastery of music. Musical examples are full of great ideas and fluent playing. Great work and many thanks! The backing tracks are fantastic as well!

A "Root(of a chord)" is the same as a "Tonic(of a scale)?" The reason we ask the our question is because your video lessons are amongst the very best on the Internet. Therefore, absolute accuracy is necessary to hold you to the highest standards you have set for yourself and all the rest. Gratefully, - One of You Many Students/Fans
@QJamTracks4 жыл бұрын
Very good question and remark. A root is the representation of a chord by his base note. So in a C major chord the root is the note C. A tonic however is the first degree of a scale. So in the C major scale the tonic would be the note C (the tonal center to which everything resolves). If I mixed those two definitions up, I must Apologize. Thanks for your comment!

Great lesson! But, the chart @4:38 is confusing. As you explained, Lydian is the 4th mode of the 'parent Major scale.' I think you intended the chart to reflect the tonic of the Lydian scale in blue [not white] and the related tonic of the 'major parent scale' in white [not blue]. (Essentially you got them backwards)
@QJamTracks3 жыл бұрын
You're right. I've made a mistake there. In that diagram it would look like D Lydian is extracted from G major. That's not true of course. D lydian is extracted from A major. Thanks for pointing that out to me Tom.

Great tutorial! Been playing with this for 3 hours today!! I find that you speak "my language". Of course, I subbed and turned on ALL notifications... Two questions: 1. In your D Major progression Dmaj7 - F#m7 - A - Cmaj7, why do you consider the Cmaj7 chord borrowed from "D Dorian" as opposed to "C Major"? 2. What theory is Satriani following, if any, when he decides to go from C Lydian (Csus2) to C Minor (Absus2) ? Thanks so much...Tony

The note that is in the same position and one string above the tonic of the Lydian mode is the tonic of the parent scale (C lydian -G major or D lydian - A major). The relation Major scale - Lydian mode is a perfect 4th.

At roughly 4:37 you said you can visualize the root of the parent major scale and the root of the Lydian scale by a fifth. You depict G as the parent root and D as the Lydian scale root, which it is not. You have it backwards. C Lydian root in the previous pattern shown at 4:33 is a fourth above the parent major root - G. The parent major root, G is a fifth above the C of C Lydian

HELP!!!!! So much that wasn't explained. At 4:15 it show C lydian & Gmajor scale patterns (G A B C D E F#). But in a G major using the lyian mode, I thought you start on the 4th note. Which is a C. But he says to raise the fourth note in lydian. So is that fourth note from the C or from the beginning of the G scale. So is the fourth note a C or a F#. And that being the case why is the C not a C# or if it's an F# does the make itan E, which can not be right. And in all of his videos he never explains what if the fourth note is a sharp. And then you have 2 of the same notes in a scale which is wrong of course. I wrote down all the major scale in another one of his video about all 7 modes. And I came into this problem over & over. Where when using a mode that either flattens or raises the note. It gives me two of the same notes. Maybe this is common sense to most. But I'm lost. I wish someone would explain it. Not everybody knows what you know. People just take it for granted that you know what they know. My brother is trying to learn the same stuff as me. And I was going to turn him on to this guys channel. But he gets lost easier then me. Just wondering if I need to keep looking for someone else's channel that maybe doesn't skip over key details. When I find a good teacher I will watch there videos over & over until I have masted it. Besides this issue, I like his videos. He speaks clearly lots of pictures to make it easy to understand. There just some little things that are left out. Which turn into BIG things when trying to learn stuff like this./ But I'm lost why the 4 fourth note isn't raised in a lydian here
@QJamTracks10 ай бұрын
I have explained it very well, but I see in your comment that you didn't get it. Please watch the video again and try to understand every part from the beginning and work your way up to the end of the video. The trigger note (lydian: #4th) : think within the mode, not within the parent scale.
