Its never too late to learn, all this information does is help you communicate musically in a more accurate fashion . It helps to learn these things though, starting with the major scale. Cause the modes are really major scales, just with different roots.

Its pretty simple once you get around to applying it first, try learning these modes in the Key of C first, if you can apply them in that key, you can pretty much figure it out for the other keys. Hope that helps

then why do they say d to d is dorian, i thought dorian has flats ? how do you explain that?

So what happends to the modes when in a different key? Do the shaps stay still? How do you incorperate the modes if you were playing Dm pentatonic scale? E.g. If I was playing Em how do I play E dorian is that such a thing? Please reply. Sorry if my questions are a bit confusing.

You’re doing a good job explaining I’m understanding it so far, but I want to make sure my understanding is right. So, modes are basically within scales and are determined by the note you play first within the scale? Does this mean that every scale has a certain set of modes? Do all scales have the same modes? Also, if I were soloing over an A major chord, does this mean I would be able to use the different modes within the A major scale, and each would have it’s own unique sound? Thanks

It’s pretty sad that I’ve been playing over 10 years and could barely understand any of this lesson.. I’m starting to realize how much I still have to learn. It’s pretty overwhelming….

I wish I knew what the hell you’re talking about.

Coming from piano, I highly recommend guitar players who struggle with scales/modes to study scales on a keyboard.

Even though I have trouble understanding the particulars and such of guitar/music theory, I do understand much more than I used to.
Enjoyed the video.

4 people will never learn how to play the guitar.

your teaching is very organized..really helped a lot.i am looking for it for a long time.thnx.

when he says flat 3 or flat 6 it is relative to the major scale… so for example the the third note in a minor scale (for example: C in an A minor scale) is the flat version the third note in the major scale (in this case, C flat, or B)

i hope this helps
