E-BOOK - Modes of the major scale crystal clear

[fightingstudent]

Jesus Christ, i watched so many explanations about modes and finally after this one, i did understand, Thx!

[abdullashaarif]

I understood it in the first 5 minutes. I’ve failed to understand this for years now. This was the perfect explanation of something so simple everyone else complicates so much

[mod.x]

dude, you're a wizard. before watching this video i only knew how to play the d minor scale, but after watching it, i magically was able to jam in G dorian, A phrygian, Bb lydian, C mixolydian and A locrian.

[delinquense]

One of the best things about this explanation is the fact that no new patterns were introduced. So, if you know your patterns well, you can modify which pattern you play where depending on the particular mode you are in. That's HUGE!

[arie_maneh]

God finally, someone who explain modes without overcomplicate it. All this times.

[zepkauvaka]

FINALLY, SOMEONE MAKES SENSE OF THIS WHOLE MODE THING.... THANK YOU

[bobbyincidemetal]

Holy shit!!!! I am beyond myself with excitement. Finally!!!! I have watched hours of modes videos and been lost. This video unlocked it for me. You can’t possibly know how much I appreciate this/you.

[dktracks]

Dude... My guitar teacher teached me dorian mode last week and i didnt understand anything...i searched yt videos but still nothing... With you i not only understood dorian, but every mode, positions and shapes, thank you!!

[bctl]

The visuals, the things you choose to repeat and emphasize, your concise wording, and the overall structure of this video... It's all so perfectly done to help me understand this. Thanks so much man!

1. Conocer el número de grado de cada modo.
2. Saber que del 3er. al 4to. grado y del 7mo. a la siguiente octava de la escala mayor hay un semitono.
3. Asignarle a la nota a utilizar el número de grado del modo deseado y avanzar progresivamente hasta la siguiente octava tomando en cuenta los semitonos del punto 2.
No se necesitan diagramas solo practicarlo hasta automatizarlo.
Por supuesto que es la mejor lección sobre el tema! Excelente material!

Watching this video for the fourth time, finally got everything down. This video is so well made, I just wasn't ready for it. If someone's struggling like I did, I'd suggest to take the time and first learn the major scales and their notes all accross the fretboard. When you can recognize notes from a scale and play it without thinking then modes truly start making sense. They're simply differents ways of exploring the major scale. Good luck and thanks for this wonderful video !

[Rickjinxx]

Finally i can understand modes by realizing that 8:49 is the key of any modes you want to play thanks man ❤

[lbrandon]

Im in love with these videos...I subscribed instantly...thank u for your service!

[tonymccormick]

Slick, professional, comprehensive. One of the very best.

Note….once you “get” modes, you’ll say yeah they’re easy to understand.
But the video requires a little time and attention. And the modes themselves will require practice

[keithhuckabee]

The best explanation of modes "with good examples of the tonal qualities" I've ever listened to.

[xwinglover]

I wish I found this 2 years ago when I started exploring modes. For me it went back to the basics and my journey is further along, but you have brilliantly explained this. I will be refering this lesson to people who are starting out and want to know about learning the modes.

[paulgoldstein]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Only 7 minutes in and finally I get modes. Watched countless video explanations but always gave up in frustration. What a relief.

[RajeevNandiMusic]

15 years of guitar playing and I finally got the confusion regarding modes all out of the way. Kudos to you. Thankyou

[BandGeekRecords]

You said it in the video intro, “Lots of videos out there that leave you with more questions.”

Thank you for making a video that actually explains modes and NOT wasting my time by playing a bunch of licks that span the entire fretboard like all the other guitar videos out there. You provided a single position mode and the few leads you played provided enough color to reinforce your point. Excellent explanation and instructional techniques.

BEST MODES VIDEO I HAVE EVER FOUND! You finally made modes click for me!
