Nice one, I'm trying to get my head around modes. A good johnny Mnemonic for you is-
I (Ionian), Don't (Dorian), Punch (Phrygian), Like (Lydian) Muhammed (Mixolydian) A (Aeolian) Li (Locrain), it helps me remember anyway.

Thought this was one of the best explanations of Modes out there. thanks Brian. :)

[shadowsneaker]

I don't think any explanation was ever more clear. You have covered enough angles on this so there is no excuse for anybody to not understand modes. Except of course for the guys who aren't subbed to your channel. You are LEGEND bro. Thank you ...

[TheRealxVincent]

This guy is like a fountain of musical knowledge. And explains it in a way that even my dumb brain can understand. Good stuff, bro!

[Spahr]

Man! Modes are supposed to be confusing and unknowable... like Music Magic! You only get to know about them if you sell your soul!
You always make things simple, understandable, and practice-able (word?)! Thank you letting us in on the magic! You are a wonderful teacher, my friend!

The best explanation of the modes ever.

Now that I watched this video, the dark overlord youtube algorithm will suggest all the crappy mode videos that are confusing/wrong for the next 5 days.

Brian, you have done it again. I have watched and learned from all of your excellent “mode” videos, this is the best. You have tied it all together, another brilliant explanation, beginners and advanced should now have a complete understanding of modes. Well done.

[stanleyjungleib]

Yes. Thank you for the parallel approach that pulls them all down to the same root.

[morganmathews]

Brilliant lesson as always. The pace you explain stuff is bang on👍

[LANCEMAUS]

This makes modes make sense, finally! Thank you.

[Dougwarren]

What a great way to present it. It seems simple in how you would present it, but I've seen so many fumble the ball and make it so confusing for no reason. Excellent job.👋🤘🏆

The light bulb is on My teacher tried to teach modes to me years ago, and consistently failed. The way it was explained was so incredibly complicated compared to this. Now, after watching this video I feel like I’m on the path to musical fluency. I’ve had all of the surrounding knowledge and knew once I heard this the way I needed to I would immediately become the player I knew I could be!! I owe you big!!!!

[NiqScott]

Perfect example of why EVERYTHING we hear is intervals. The tonality/mood changes completely, just off the back of the interval between that drone E and the position Brian is playing in.

Another genius explanation by Brian Kelly. Thanks!

[bozzy]

At last. Explained .I finally get it. Thanks Brian.

Underrated guitar teacher I salute you

Really cool way to think about the modes...I wish I had this shortcut a long time ago, although I have done this pattern swap before with pentatonic, I hadn't thought about the 7 modes this way before...BTW, for anyone who wants to know, the E Locrian pattern in this application would start at the 1st fret *on low E* or an octave higher, with that pattern beginning on the 13th fret...Great video!!!

Best video on this topic. Straight to the point. Was so confused with this for sometime. So many other videos making it look 👀 confusing. This is simple, precise and concise. Subscribed 👏👍🤘

[DoveSimon]

I think this was the best demo of parallel modes and how they actually sound. Really great video Brian! Thanks!
