    Do you know how to build your own electric guitar ?

  • flip3213 11 years ago

    they are all the same u can either playing from the major shapes or use the shapes for each degree like c major or ionian shape will have dorian pattern under it or u can play from the D in the major unlimeted the way u wanna go about it

  • bcbenp44 11 years ago

    There are 7 modes for a major scale. Each mode starts from a different note or degree of the scale. starting from the first note it is called Ionian, 2nd is dorian, third is Phrygian, 4th is Lydian, 5th is mixolydian, 6th is aolian, 7th is locrian. The raised notes are when you compare modes. Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian are major modes Ionian is a major scale, Lydian is a major scale with the fourth note being sharp, Mixo is a major scale with the seventh not being flat. the other modes are

  • rachar124 11 years ago

    ok, i know im slow. i have seen a few videos on modes and i dont get this. some say that the modes are the same notes played in different position’s. but, others say like this one. that they have a raised 6th? is there a good site that shows the positions of each mode?

    Triple rectifier

  • IXGibsonXI 11 years ago

    thats true
    but some of there
    “ballad”(idk what type of genre they would be)
    are really melodic and even of his other songs are just true like music, and thats why i like them. there a unique band, but as much as he can play fast, his study of jazz guitar does not show a bit in his solos. but im a fan of a7x so im not here to bash

  • John NT 11 years ago

    His solos aren’t necessarily very theoretical, and I’m not really a fan of his solos at all due to lack of melody, repeated patterns etc. However, his academic background really shows in the actual songwriting of his band, both riff-wise and arrangement-wise, as well as chord progressions etc. A lot of people judge guitarists based only on their solo playing and I think that’s idiotic (not saying you do, as I don’t know you personally :)

  • IXGibsonXI 11 years ago

    i know,
    but he cant really do much but sweep
    for example in the making of scream interview.
    he said itll be hard to play live because its all picked, and in another of his videos (it was a teaching one idk which one exactly) he said that is sort of the only thing he can do, im not bashing him, im just saying=]

  • zeke8402 11 years ago

    not that I like A7X, but syn attended the Musicians Institute in Hollywood studying jazz guitar. That, and his father played with Frank Zappa.

  • akrivera 11 years ago

    syn knows theory

  • OpenString6 11 years ago

    it’s a mesa head with a marshall cabinet

  • IXGibsonXI 11 years ago

    yeah but look at guys liek syn gates.
    dont get me wrong hes good but hes exactly what electric said.
    no theory and no ( i think) melody so sooner or later hes just gona fall

  • sacredgeometry 11 years ago

    personally i think thats the easy part, anyone can learn what frets to play its about being able to understand it musically …i mean otherwise you are just a guitar hero player with a real guitar

  • Taylor Hamilton 11 years ago

    the hardest part about learny modes is not learning the modes of a scale but learning the modes as keys in a way

    like e lydian and e major 1 note different

  • YouSpamTard 11 years ago

    Yeah. I heard the “piano guy”, Public Broadcasting System, piano teacher, say one time, we have to be careful to not work ourselves down into a “black whole” we can not wiggle ourselves out of trying to understand theory to much, or something like that. Its a shame. I have looked at about 30 different utube idiot “learn modes” and not a single one of them really capture the essence of what modes are really about. It is all bad teaching, every single one of them. There is no excuse, as you say.

  • sacredgeometry 11 years ago

    harmony is one of those things as humans we pick up naturally unless we are deaf to it…the theory only provides assurance to what our brains are used to from listening to western music anyway…. i agree once you scratch the surface of any subject in music you can dig forever, its a maze of complexity but the basics are basic…..and as such shouldnt be taught wrong there is no excuse.

  • alichoturko 11 years ago

    do we really need the Metal God tone for scales? How distracting,

  • emixolydian 11 years ago

    It’s because it’s not quite that simple. In a vacuum what FirstSnowJ said is true…but in the context of most things you aren’t going to be able to super impose a mode by simply emphasizing a different tone in the scale of the key.

  • schnurr31 11 years ago

    he looks like frank calieno

  • sacredgeometry 11 years ago

    hahahaha that is hillarious i clicked on this out of curiosity and when he got to dorian and then there was a pause…. i cracked up laughing jesus its soo simple

    Ionian R234567
    Dorian R2b3456b7
    Phrygian Rb2b345#5b7
    Lydian R23b5567
    Mixolydian R23456b7
    Aeolian R2b345#5b7
    Locrian Rb2b34b5#5b7

    basically learn a major scale along the neck (its movable) pay attention to the root

    learn your circle of 5ths ….and you are done

    peace
