Between the Licks - Simple Understanding of Modes

Hey everybody, this Brian Holman from Between Alex Tacka I am here to give you another guitar lesson and today, we were going to only talk about a; little bit of music theory and understanding modes. And modes of always seem to me really kind of complicated and obscure but what I have found out is that a really not because as long as you know the major scale pattern you already know how to construct pretty much all seven of the main modes. And by main modes I mean I only in doing is for Jean Linnean Mix lodian. And alien and Lukerean 1, 2, 3, 4, ,5, 6 ,7 and those numbers are even significant. Because the secret is all the modes all of seven of those modes are constructed directly from the major scale but you just change the note that you start on. And let me show you a bit about that because we are only going to use the C (guitar demonstrate), D (guitar demonstrate) E (guitar demonstrate) F (guitar demonstrate)G (guitar demonstrate)A (guitar demonstrate)B (guitar demonstrate) and C (guitar demonstrate) which mix up the major scale. Those are the only 7th notes were are going to use today. Right, let me start of with the major scale that just two different names the same thing. Start on the C (guitar demonstrate), jut the major scale, now if you want to move up to the Dorian you start on the D (guitar demonstrate) E (guitar demonstrate) F (guitar demonstrate)G (guitar demonstrate)A (guitar demonstrate)B (guitar demonstrate) C (guitar demonstrate) back to D (guitar demonstrate) that’s it, right?. Now you want to go to Fijian you start on E (guitar demonstrate) F (guitar demonstrate) G (guitar demonstrate) A (guitar demonstrate) B (guitar demonstrate) C (guitar demonstrate) D (guitar demonstrate) E (guitar demonstrate) that’s it. That is how you construct the cords and it goes up from there and by out from there I mean the F linean, the G mix loading A O and below crane all the same notes that they just change according to what note you going to start on which would be name and the title. Below crane you start on that B and you just go right up and goes (guitar demonstrate) that is, that is the scale if you just start on the B and is moving way up. So the reason the reason why this is so great is because you are already know the major scale pattern. You already know how to (guitar demonstrate). You know that already, hopefully. And if you do not know so you should learn that because if you want to play any of those modes all you have to know is enable from the basically that I own it. So you, like I said you want to use the E Fijian let say you want to use the E Fijian. You know what is the third of the major scale so you found that E (demonstrate ). And you find it what will make it the third which is the C (guitar demonstrate), C (guitar demonstrate), 3 (guitar demonstrate) that is the 5 (guitar demonstrate) to make up the scale, there is the E Fijian as the third so you use the C pattern fro the major scale but you just start on the E (guitar demonstrate). That is it, and a simple concept but it does get confusing when you start trying to apply them, but at least now you understand how you make them together. You just use one pattern. Use it everywhere you slide it up and down. Any where and you can put together each of those seven modes from that one pattern. So, thank you for joining me. Check out the website if you want some clarification for this as all the information on it, each of the stubs, each of notes is in there. And even has a intervals that were to make up each the modes if you were think them as there own separate entity and that is will help you fit and then the cords which are go over next. So, check back for the lesson and this Brian Holman from Between Alex have a great day.
