This whole video could have been about King Crimson, as they’ve done practically every scale you can think of. “Fracture,” “FraKCtured,” and “The ConstruKCtion of Light” are pure whole tone scale magic. Also, the beginning of “Indiscipline.” “Red,” “One More Red Nightmare,” and “Larks Tongue in Aspic” all feature the diminished scale. “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and “Discipline” are minor pentatonic. The middle section of “Starless” features one of the most tense and explosive examples of the chromatic scale I’ve heard in music.

David, what I most enjoy about your presentations is that you neither treat your viewers as idiots, nor as accomplished musicians. You strike the balance really well. I was very blessed in my early introduction to music by having teachers who enjoyed teaching, and their enthusiasm encouraged their pupils to want to excell. William McKie was master of the choristers in my day, and George Solti directed us, trebles, at ROH performances, and in singing Melia, Hyacanthus, or one of the Three Boys, the enthusiasm and steady encouragement of such as Vitorio Gui and Colin Davis helped nervous boys enjoy themselves rather than become frozen. You seem to have a similar gift, David. Perhaps a future as a organist/choir director beacons?

Found this while randomly looking through a playlist before it even went public haha :D To me, Pyramid Song's first chord progression has a very distinct Phrygian sound to it with the exception of the tonic chord being major and not minor (i think of it as borrowed from phrygian dominant), nevertheless a very phrygian sounding progression. Great video as always David!!

For Dorian, (sticking to the Beatles) there’s "I Me Mine" (key of D, sometimes temporarily switching to A, although I never notice- maybe it's in the hard rock section?). For the blues scale, here's one of my favorites: "Change On the Rise," by Avi Kaplan (former member of Pentatonix), which actually stays in C minor pentatonic throughout except for a one-off F# in the bridge. If you want to hear the minor pentatonic, you only need to listen to a verse of this.

Love the final example of the circus music being Chromatic! I never knew that, but makes a lot of sense! Reminds me a lot of the Super Mario theme, which is very chromatic as well! I've always thought that's why it has such a sense of fun and cheeky joy to it, very mischievous, something which the circus music also shares. Super Mario also opens on a tritone, which is incredible, but the tritone is actually the closing phrase/end of the piece, which is why it can loop forever because the beginning is the end. Maybe do an analysis of the main Mario theme next, it's really incredible 😂😂

Before I knew modes existed, the very first fast guitar riff I learned was from Over The Mountain from Ozzy Osbourne. Randy Rhoads' riff is entirely in Mixolydian. Actually a lot of his riffs are, but I didn't know that yet. But in Over The Mountain, it descends the Mixo scale in a broken pattern that he surely got from classical music (a pattern that Yngwie made forever famous, but using Phrygian and Harmonic Minors instead).

Not as common nowadays, but another one worth mentioning since you included the standard blues scale is the Major Blues scale! Just a major pentatonic with a flat 3rd in between the 2 and the 3. Used a lot in older happy-go-lucky jazz tunes from New Orleans, "Bear Necessities" from the old Jungle Book movie, a more recent example would be 'Sunday Morning' by Maroon 5 I dunno why, but improvising and chord building feels a lot more relaxed and uninhibited if the song is in Major Blues rather than Minor. The I and IV chords sound wonderful as maj6, maj7, or dom7, and the V chord can be messed with by making it a sus4 or a #5, or even a maj6 in ballads. The iii7 chord is there in all its glory. Minor blues feels pretty chained to the 12-Bar format unless you start doing wild stuff with it

When I think of Hugh Laurie playing piano, I'm hearing a genteel major blues jam. It feels like daytime blues, sitting on the porch with sweet tea. Minor blues feels more like trouble brewing. I disagree that it ties you to the 12 bar form. You can expand turnarounds, do secondary 4ths, move in 3rds, all kinds of things. Thinking about it, all of those are "ways of breaking out of prison" once you've established a 12 bar pattern as your prison, so I see what you mean. Once you start playing 12 bar minor blues, it really does set up a momentum of expectation, at which point you have to essentially do a musical jailbreak to get out of it. You can't just up and play some glam boogie-woogie right in the midst of it. Not because of what people would think, but it just wouldn't work, unless it was like a psychedelic melange.

So happy you mentioned The Sims!! I grew up with the original game, and listening to the build themes last year made me get back into learning piano. Such great pieces, especially the one you mentioned.

There's probably an infinite number of examples but a good one for minor pentatonic is the opening riff of "Nobody Speak" by DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels. It just descends the scale in three octaves.

When I think Blues Scale I think of "Sunshine of your Love" by Cream Minor pentatonic I tend to think the riff in "I shot the sheriff " by Bob Marley or "Moves like Jagger" With Maroon 5. Thanks For Your Videos! Very informative and absorbable as always!

No kidding, the second he started 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' I thought it sounded like the Sims 4 music, and then he went on to mention the music from Sims 1 which sounds totally different from what I was thinking of haha

My choice for major scale will always be "Hello, Goodbye," that part where they go straight up the scale.

The minor pentationic scale has that kind of bluesy sound to it because it has the lowered 3rd and 7th degrees like the blues scale does. I like the blues scale a lot and therefore the minor pentatonic scale

There's exactly one note in the blues scale but not the minor pentatonic: the 4#.

Muse's Hyper Music literally climbs the Dorian scale in the bass line, then resolves to the natural minor, my fave point of reference for Dorian.

My mnemonic for the blues scale is Black Sabbath - Iron Man. The riff right before the guitar solo is a descending C# blues scale.
