Mr Beato. I absolutely love you for sharing your knowledge. I'm a 47 year old dreamer and i'm like a spunge absorbing your videos. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

To whom ever is reading this, I hope something wonderful happens to you today.

I suggest you place a camera above you to make it simpler for some people to see exactly what you're playing.

You are one of the best teachers on YouTube! I'm a bassist/guitarist and learn so much from your vids. Your style of teacher is just like my lecturer in my jazz master class. We are really lucky that you're sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you!

So stoked right now. My kid has these toy cars that play a little melody and I figured it out on piano and thought the scale was goofy and did some googling and figured out it was D dorian, so I youtubed D Dorian and THERE'S RICK! Hell yeah. Teach me, professor.

Wow. Rick I've known what the modes are for years but had no idea how much you could get out of the dorian mode/scale. Some really interesting and beautiful lines...
Just goes to show that studying music theory is a never ending journey. What a great avanced lesson!!!

I discovered your videos just a few weeks ago and love every one I've seen. You are great teacher with a deep insight into how music works and how to teach it. I particularly like your videos on modes and their related chords. I can't thank you enough for sharing what you know. Your videos always make me smile.

Rick Beato is gonna mold a new generation of model EDM with these videos

I put together a song on Native American Flute using Dorian. I was amazed at how well it was suited to the Native American Flute. Love the Dorian mode.

This is the best channel, Rick thanks for the countless knowledge and the way you share it. It makes sense to me.

[Geeetarr]

thank you so much sir, this is a game changer for me, this video literally took me to the next level and I'm not even exaggerating, even thought I'm a guitarist, I recommend this channel to every one who see this comment

[stevenjackson]

Rick Butter Beato. Everything he plays is super mellifluous

The voicing part gave an insight. While the mode gives you the general sound, all the little nuances like intervals will give you slightly different sounds while still keeping the general feel of the mode.

[thesoulofjohnblack]

this is free information!!! its sad that some people don't appreciate it.this guy gave us something for nothing!! THANK RICK

[charlestheos]

The etudes are amazing! Listening over and over again beats the sounds in your ear.

[KowankoMusic]

You've got to love the people who down-vote/comment negatively on FREE tutorial videos on Youtube made by talented people who are donating their time and abilities to the general public. Rick, your videos are always illuminating, thank you.

[julialesnichycomposer]

Thank you so much Rick! You are a genius, a great teacher and musician! Every time I watch your video about modes I come up with a beautiful chord progression!! You are such a valuable source of information. It would be great if you do a video about movement of voices and a video about a harmonization of a melody would be helpful too

[robquinn]

i learnt more in this video than all the others on modes put together....fantastic work sir!

So, for anyone watching and wondering WHY he's throwing in the sus4's, my only guess is that sus4 triads are sometimes used as alternatives to "normal" 1-3-5 triads. I *think* it's something used in jazz fairly often. If anyone has a better explanation, feel free to enlighten me.
