Took me months, almost a year, of watching your channel and playing (you don’t read it) the Beato Book, but I got there. I’m working on getting to the point where I can figure out the progressions on my own well enough that my assumptions are only occasionally are corrected by other musicians that know I’m playing it wrong. I’m a busy guy with not a ton of time to practice so I’m happy with where I’m at with my musicianship. The prior 20 years felt like a plateau that was never going to end. Now I’m climbing again. All these concepts seemed alien to me then. Now I think I’m starting to get it.

In case anyone is wondering. I remember when modes used to boggle my mind, but they're about as simple as it gets. Take a loop pedal and play a C major chord and let it repeat. Now take a C major scale and play it. Now take all the diatonic variations, and play them over a C Maj chord. Starting at C and ending at C, all you're doing is moving around those two half note intervals, which have a huge impact over how the scale sounds. It's very systematic and logical.
@johnyoung33979 ай бұрын

@jdmayfield882 ай бұрын
Close. Should actually use the type of chord that naturally belongs at the modes root. If it's a minor mode the root is a minor chord (Aeolian, Dorian, Phrygian modes). Major modes have a major chord at their root (Ionian, Lydian, Mixolydian modes). Locrian has a diminished chord at it's root, but you can cheat using a minor chord there. Google can find you a page listing all the chords in each mode for whatever root note you want for home base. And chord and scale charts for whatever instrument is your weapon of choice. Long as you swipe past the AI and the ad's. Also, search for songs that use a particular mode your interested in. Listen to that to get an idea what it can sound like, or rather feel like.

The Beatles should be encouraging Rick to use their songs as examples as they will make money out of it anyway, but instead they act like they own the field. And to those who think it's Sony, not the Beatles: unless we see a statement from McCartney calling BS on Sony, then it's the Beatles too.

I tend to think (albeit incorrectly) of the Mixolydian as the “4th mode” as opposed to the 5th. In other words, if I know a song is in G Mixolydian, I simply go up a 4th and know that I just need to play in C Major and target notes accordingly. This is also the most common way to choose a harmonica for playing over most blues/rock music, by going up a 4th from the “tonic” key. Also, the Mixolydian might be even more the sound of country music than it is the sound of rock and pop. No matter how you look at it, in the majority of all popular music that’s in a Major tonality, chances are good that it leans towards Mixo. The Major 7th is a rare bird on the radio.
@76JStucki4 жыл бұрын
Well ok...but a 4th is an inverted 5th. It appears that you're thinking of it as the 4th mode because you're looking at the interval you move up to land on the relative Ionian (Major) key. If it helps, you could look instead at the interval you need to move DOWN instead. You land on the same place and your understanding would be more accurate. A 4th is an inverted 5th, a 6th is an inverted 3rd, etc. So instead of moving up a 4th, move down a 5th. You still land on C and now you're describing the mode correctly. If it helps. If it doesn't help, just ignore me and move on with your life. :-)
@stevesheroan41314 жыл бұрын
Joel Stucki Thanks Joel! I actually know the modes the traditional way as well, and understand the inversion principle, I just tend to be able to identify the modality of a tune by hearing it, and I find that thinking of the inversions gets me to my improv quicker. I know it’s “incorrect” but it does work for me. My brain must be wired backwards I guess. I do the same thing with Dorian. If I “hear” Dorian, I just play the natural minor a 5th above the tonic. So A Dorian= E Natural Minor in my backwards brain as well.

As a harmonica player, I've recently become aware of how much John Popper (Blues Traveler) utilizes Mixolydian Mode. Of course, most Blues, Rock, and Country players do this, BUT they usually employ bending techniques to turn "2nd Position" into a Blues Scale rather than pure Mixolydian. John Popper often dispenses with these "blue notes" and just plays the naturally occurring Mixolydian notes. P.S. That F Mixolydian reminded me of CSNY, and that Eb Mixolydian, dropping down a whole step near the end, was "The Way You make Me Feel" by MJ. Great video!!!

Those mixo licks you were doing on guitar were insane. Your knowledge and application of theory is amazing to watch/listen to.

Always a pleasure to get a music theory lesson from Rick. If my college classes had been this this good and relevant I might have learned something. Cat Stevens, Jefferson Airplane, The Eagles used this mode in many of their songs.

You are an incredible musician and very much the real deal sir. I cannot thank you enough for your content, you have a unique way of explaining very complex things in a very applicable way. One of the very few to be able to do so in my opinion, when Steve Vai says so it is absolute truth haha! You have truly helped me becoming a better guitar player, and most importantly musician in a short amount of time. KZfaq needs more people like you.

Important to remember that most likely the composers of these tunes, Lennon etc, in spite of their creative ear, had no idea what mixolydian by definition is. So, rely on your creative ear, don't get hung up on the theory, unless that's what you're going for.

Andrew Kosiba. I met Peter Frampton just a few months back on his final tour and last show (in Concord CA). I asked him when he’s relaxing and noodling around on the couch what scale or mode does he always seem to fall back into. He looked at me perplexed. And I said, “ You know, do you end up in Mixolydian or Dorian , where do you end up?” Still looking at me a bit confused, he said: “I don’t even know what that means”. And with that, my time was up. 😂

@@fourplayrockband1050 Yeah, I love Peter. He's so humble, gentle and real. Saw him with Humble Pie around 71. Great guitarist. Then he turned pop. I get it though, to a point. Money made it so he could do and be what he wanted to. Most of my favorite Brit Invaders never took lessons or knew theory. Just had God given talent and a good ear. Rock on!

Huckleberry Quick yes but in the same way Caveman died from colds or flu so should we all ignore modern medicine because we know better? Now a days there is so much available to learn about rock or jazz theory. Again another anology is in pre school and infant or kindergarten school reading to children is factually proven to improve their vocabulary. Plenty of people could say I never read a book and I can speak fine. But that’s not the point it’s about improving yourself. I hate how people bash on theory and say (insert guitarist) didn’t know theory, so I don’t need to. Now we’re back to full circle. Do you choose to die because of lack of medication and understanding of biology or go to the Dr

The way you look at harmony has helped me a lot to wrap my head around intervals and the possibilities, thanks :) I remember watching these a long time ago and not understanding how you used such colorful chords, but now I'm getting really comfortable just writing by listening for how the ratio relates back to the current chord, how we got there and where it goes after.

The mixolydian mode creates something so expansive and up-lifting. It's my favourite mode.
