All 7 Modes, ONE Easy Shape

[MMiler]

If I had to describe myself as a mode it would be Lydian; Not quite of this world, strangely optimistic, and unstable.

If you want to remember the modes remember that : I Do Play Loud Music At Lunch. Ionian Dorian Phrygian Lydian Myxolydian Aeolian Locrian

So many years. So many instructors on You Tube trying to explain the modes. This is the first time it actually clicked. Light bulb over the head...singers in the background doing the ..Halleluiah.! Thanks so much. That opened up a whole new world, and man I've been really trying to understand but never heard it so simple .Rock on!

[akinnon]

Thats it... thats finally made it for me. There is soo much confusion out there... people (i) will get stucked for years, and all you had to explain was to imagine the full shape of the major scale, and each notes you start are a mode. So simple and yet people can make it so confusing. Thanks you very much.

Hey man, Absolute genius teaching on this one. I got a little too much out of it, can't wait to begin getting into these more in depth

Really enjoyed this video. "Red form" pattern (3 notes in major scale per string) with G as starting note at string 1 fret 3 (G major scale, or Ionian):


1. G Ionian (major scale) 1:29 (Gmaj7 chord, start on G at string 1, fret 3)
2. A Dorian 2:29 (Am7 chord, start on A at string 1, fret 5)
3. B Phrygian 3:37 (Bm7 chord, start on B at string 1, fret 7)
4. C Lydian 4:34 (Cmaj7 chord, start on C at string 2, fret 3)
5. D Mixolydian 5:28 (D7 chord, start on D at string 2, fret 5)
6. E Aeolian (minor scale) 6:29 (Em7 chord, start on E at string 2, fret 7)
7. F# Locrian 7:54 (F#half diminished chord, start on F# at string 3, fret 4)

Wow, mind blown. I've been racking my brain with my guitar teacher over the modes for 2 weeks and in this short video it totally made sense to me. Thanks for posting. : )

when I first approached the 7 patts of a major scale, to have full understanding of the fretbord, I asked myself if the modes matches each patt, and I denied that, thinking that modes of a key dont have the same notes. It bothered me for a while, until I saw this video and realized that my wonder was accurate, and the modes of a key dont change in terms of note themselves but their order and when we emphasis the rot of the mode. thanks loads for this video mate!

It's the chord that really helps spell the mode that's being played on it.

Thanks Mike. I've played guitar for a long time but never gave theory much thought until I seen your videos. Greetings from Scotlandby the way

[ivanozzy]

Is that it?! People make it so complicated yet you made it so simple and easy for me. Thank you! Love from the other side!

[Fullrulle]

This is the best lesson I have ever seen on this subject, thank you very much!

[zapantalambda]

For years, I have been playing guitar without properly knowing these modes. I mean, i know the major G scale by heart but modes are alien to me. Maybe I have played these modes before but I just do not know their names. Similar to a situation wherein a person is familiar to me but I dont know their names. This video is very helpful to guitarists like me who are lacking knowledge in this area. Genuine Thank you sir Mike for explaining this topic in terms that I could grasp.

[MrMalman]

Best explanation of the modes I’ve seen, thankyou

[anavelazquez]

Thank you for making this video! You made it easy to understand. God bless!

[ImYourOverlord]

At this rate, Mike, you could probably even make the Circle of Fifths understandable and memorable 😁

[deathofamailman]

I lack natural ability, but love the guitar and music theory and how everything fits together. I really appreciate your channel.

[jerryg]

I appreciate your calm teaching demeanor.

[patrickdarby-sheehan]

Thank you. At last, all the modes, with the notes, in one place...and being played as opposed to looking at diagrams. I'm the 'hands on' type rather than being told look at the diagram. I learn quicker that way. Thank you. Haven't seen you for a while on YouTube?

[ludwigvanbeethoven]

Dang. You’re the only teacher who makes these kinds of things click with me. Thank you very much
