Yeah, the modes really come alive when you practice them this way...thanks!

[masterbuilder]

Charlie, I really appreciate your way of teaching and abundance of knowledge. Your videos are helping tremendously. Thank you fren 💪

[paulkillion]

It's like modes never really mattered. You have broken it down so well that I don't even need to learn it now.

[drchikosi]

I consider this the best method to teach modes. You have underscored the major modes succinctly. I love it.

[timnolan]

Best explanation of what the modes are and how to practice them. Just had one of the ‘click’ moments! Thanks Charlie

[painter]

bravo.. kind of see the modes, now to keep digging

[frankortega]

Great lesson Charlie.
Modes have been mysterious to many players. Your approach is both refreshing and clear. Thank you for this insightful information.

Thanks for sharing what we can do with modes playing over power chord ideas something useful to explore the moods of music changes

[TheCannalux]

Intervals and there placement equal flavor.
The beginning of the vid is perfect. You show exactly how can be done with one C “power chord” and where you can go from there.
And later on you camp very very to close to giving everyone the secret to Edvard’s “Franken Scale”.
Presto Chango go anywhere you want-O.
You have to learn these modes. Or you always be just a schlock guitar player.
Well done 👍🏻

Nice lesson, for me, the best and the only way to near, understand and then master modes. THx

[Reyomeyk]

Thanks for doing what you do man.. I’m finally getting into the modes after learning the major/minor scale, triads, pentatonic scales, blues scale caged, circle of 4ths we both have the same guitar poster by the way! Haha I took lessons when I was 13 for a total of 2 visits before my dad got injured at work and then I was on my own due to our financial situation. I wish so bad that this was available to me as a kid, I had the determination and drive just ended up learning covers and simple tabs that’s it.stuck in a rut for 10 years! I honestly thought that there was only one pentatonic scale, Not major or minor separately just one! Ha and I remember being a kid asking how these bands I knew could know where to go while writing or how’d they make the transition into solos that gave me goosebumps and had every hair on my body standing up which wasn’t a lot back then lol. Keep it up I’m truly grateful.l! 🤘

I've always done the mental gymnastics thing when I've tried to play modally - "D Mixo is the notes of G major....etc", but even in the one day I've been experimenting with the way you describe it here, it definitely feels more useful to get a feel for the intervals in small single 0ctave chunks and forget about the parent major scale. I would say though, that for me at least, I can only cope with concentrating a single mode at a time like this, otherwise it's too overwhelming. So I plan to spend a week getting comfortable with the Mixolydian, only then move onto Lydian and the minor modes. Great lesson - look forward to the minor one!

[metalmark]

great lesson I really like your style of teaching!
