Great incentive

He makes me realize how much I know but at the same time realizing there is so much more

You are right

I've been told I have a great face for radio!!! :P

yeah he's def one of the least annoying guitar guys online lol. some people I just can't stand their voice, or their style, or how they approach things. this guy is great at communicating and breaking down complex things simply.

Not as good as chicken hern.😊

I raise my glass to that good sir

Can't call yourself, self-taught, anymore if you watched this or any other video about guitar! I mean, unless you invented the instrument you aren't self taught. Learning from others is ok and it's the only way to overcome any plateaus. Observe. Practice. Slowly.

@@joshl.8950 I picked up a guitar and learned completely by ear before I knew a single bit of theory or what I was doing. 😃

Hopefully they're psychedelic.

It's always great when the doors swing wide open and you can break on through to the other side.

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

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.

@@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.

@@mal9948 appreciate it

Yeah, I laughed hard!

He should be an advertiser

That voice is perfect for it.

except he's serious

...same here!!...playing mostly in open tunings, coming back to the roots of standard tuning this really helps me get back into the mood of things!!...

If I had a teacher like him when I was young, I would probably be a established full time music composer by now.

Hi, do you do private lesson via Skype?

Thank you brother, I am learning theory, now on 7-chords, this video is very good! 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!

The vid is clear about using shape to play modes on guitar. My question is how do you apply modes to chord progressions to improvise guitar solos?

@@coolpoolshark Basically like you'd use the minor and major scale (Aeolian and Jonian). Sometimes you can play a few notes from a different mode to add some colour to your playing

U kick ass dude !!! This chann rocks

Thats only two types of laughs

@@WhiteTrash2993 , now it's three lol

Fábio Ferreira agree. Perfect

Most clarifying I’ve ever seen

Same!!! That video is life changing

Had a teacher once telling me after I asked about these modes "you don't need to learn them if you know what notes you're playing, they are just variations of simple major and/or minor scales"

lol pissed i didn't think of that

Lmao fucking genius

Nice! And Bill murry to boot

@@srbertoandres woah, dial it back there Copernicus

One mode thing...

word

True. I'm subscribed to both channels and they are awsome, really informative.... cheers.

don't forget adam neely!

I would also throw some Fretjam in there.

@@yoatzinpenaflor1262 I am going to check that channel. Came in notification but haven't seen until now.

I'm in the same boat as you. I learned to play from listening and wearing out records. I learned to make all the sounds, but never knew how it all tied together. 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.

A couple?! Ha!!! It's now be 16+ years for me!!! Where has the time gone??? 🤯

Commenting and viewing? that'd show 'em

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.

I don't like naming shapes because it creates a lot of confusion and obfuscates the universality of them- BUT the shape I show at the end is commonly referred to as the G Shape from the CAGED system. The small shape we use throughout can be derived from that.

@@SignalsMusicStudio I understand that, I'm currently doing my best to "move beyond shapes" but when I was a kid taking lessons that was what was beaten into me by the mediocre guitar teachers at the local guitar shop... oh how far we have come! Love your channel Jake you do a great job of breaking this stuff down and make it easy to absorb.

Will you marry me??

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.

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..😞🐮🐴

Scrolled down to find this comment after that. He had to do it to em

It sounds decent and he builds it all up... *THEN HITS YOU WITH THE MEME.*

Good Lord he can TALK!!

Yup came here for this.

Agreed - he has "that voice" for radio 💯% And a great teacher.

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.

@@johnmcaleese8459 I didn't say I understood everything in the video, I just said it made me feel hopeful:D

@@dejanmarkovic3040 Hi Dejan. I wasn't questioning you grasping it. I was just saying the more I watch these things, the more I feel overwhelmed. Was never taught when I was taking lessons decades ago. How's your playing coming along???

@@johnmcaleese8459 Woth regards to theory, not so good, but I've been practicing different chords(mainly neosoul, which is essentially jazz) and meddling around...and yeah, I'm getting better due to deliberate practice, but I've noticed another thing as well....just spend a lot of time woth the instrument in your hands...it doesn't matter what you're doing...I've watched entire three seasons of the big bang and in the first episode, I couldn't hit a chord..my fingers just wouldn't go 1-4-3-2...now I can play weird fishes by radiohead, the trooper by maiden(without the solo), omar and frusciante's 0=2, touche the sky by black pumas and lianne la havas' midnight...just by playing the same thing over and over and over and just watching the show...I strobgly suggest you do that. :)

@@dejanmarkovic3040 Awesome. Isn't that the truth though?!!! 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 !!!

long overdue tbh

A bell went off in my head as soon as I heard that

Buuuaaaahhhh!!!!! LICC

Which lick is that

An infinitely ongoing joke in the music community on KZfaq

Thanks for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin finally got cool success with it.

LMAO!

So do I...

Sr I don’t get it...

@Dakoda Leach same😂

Paused it to look for this comment.

What about it ?

That reminds me of catch the rainbow

😂

Great teaching 👍

Music Ed KZfaq talk about minors every day yet I’ve not seen one of them get leaked propositioning one😂

Glad to hear! I've found that being a good modern musician means knowing a lot about the instruments that are played in your proximity. Taking a year of drum lessons was one of the best things I ever did as a guitarist and musician.

Drummer Johnny “Vatos” Hernandez of Oingo Boingo once said that drummers who do not play other instruments are boring. When I was a Percussion Arts major in college, we were required to study piano, marimba, and string bass, as well as music theory and ear training. I’m primarily a drummer, but have been playing other instruments for decades. I find that understand other instruments makes me a more effective drummer and writer, in a way where I can make the other instruments sound better. Understanding other instruments gives a drummer a real edge.
