What Are Modes, How Are They Made, And Why? Easy Lesson Explaining A Complex Subject. The subject of Modes can drive fear into the most seasoned of Guitarists & musicians but, it need not be the case. I have attempted to unravel a seemingly difficult subject into an easier to understand form. Once you get the grasp of Modes, you’ll see they are just a way to play your key scales at any point along the fretboard using the appropriate pattern, Dorian, Phrygian, etc. If you have any questions, I will try to answer ‘em. Thanks for watching. Please share, subscribe and comment.

Thank you for such kind words!
thank you very much of your lessons.. you teach beautifully ……………… keep it up
Yeah, I had a lot of comments about this. I’m not able to remove it and, I was just trialling it on this one video but, it was a disaster! lol
I learned the hard way!
Thanks for the feedback
Good lesson, however the music in the background is annoying - sorry but it is!
Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I have heard from a few people about this. I tried to make the video more ‘interesting with the addition of background music but, it was too loud and distracting. (I have made the same video in a HD version so, maybe that one is better).
I have since abandoned the music additions!
Cheers
Your back ground music should be removed. The music is not important, but what you
are trying to teach is really the important lesson. Your lesson is very interesting but I miss out some points because of the BG music.
probly a good lesson but i cant hear you over the music.
Another Yorkie?!:D
it just looks like a C scale to me.
Start from the 2nd interval of Ab Major, Which is C minor, a.k.a C Dorian.
Play the chords in Ab Major, But start from C.
what are thechords you would use on the c dorian mode?
Thank you!
excellent explanation…u have made it clear
Thank you for such nice words of feedback!
you are the great teacher and tutor.
I’m just starting to try and understand this stuff thanks for explaining.
So how would you get C Dorian?
Thank you for your feedback. I’m very pleased my lessons have been of some help. Tony
Your lesson on mode is a seriously a great help for me. I refer to various books and learn.But, I was literally struggling with this part of theory concept. It made my life easy and cleared cobweb on modes. Thanks a zillion for your time, effort and patience to help me and others with this post. Please keep it up.
Good lesson but how can you concentrate on what is being said sorry I couldnt multi task shame as what you say is cool!
Thank you for your kind words. I’m pleased my video lesson has helped you understand a seemingly complex subject. Keep on your musical journey. Cheers. Tony (oh, it’d be nice if you could post this on my profile to let others know!)
Wooowww!!! Thank you soo much!! I very vaguely understood this before but after watching this… Pandora’s box has just been opened!!!
Thank you so so much. I actually understand this now!!! Great teacher, I’ll be sure to check out your other videos =)
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it was a trial to see if background music could make boring music tutorials more palatable! Works for some and not for others. I will turn it down on next videos.
Thanks
sorry but the music makes it impossible to concentrate on what you are saying.
