Dorian mode for Funk, Got it!

I'm starting to learn the modes within C major as a way to add more colors and variety to my playing, as well as expanding and connecting my fretboard knowledge. This video really helped a lot.

Much appreciated!

That phrygian dominant line sounded a lot like Opeth/Tool/Porcupine Tree :) As always, minimal filler, all great content. The lesson taught me that I dont need to chase the scale tonic. For example, I'd play one mode starting on E string, but instead of playing my next mode on the higher string, I'd go for it on the E string, playing horizontally instead of vertically... Time to practice. Thank you Dan.

Thanks very much. Yes, do explore the shapes and patterns all over the neck. The intervals are the same between the different notes as are the sounds. That exploration will open a lot of doors for you.

Thanks For Sharing Dan 🎸🎵🎶👍

Hi Dan!Thanks for the great lesson!I practice the modes a lot but never really got why or what to do with them….Now you opened up a hole new world for me!!Thank you so much for it!!!Unfortunaly I don‘t have bass with me on my vacation …Cheers Niko

Always good Dan. You mention 21 modes. I'm familiar with 7: Ionian, Dorian, etc. Can you do a lesson explaining what the other 14 modes are? Here I am thinking I know the modes yet I only know 1/3 of them.

Dan, Just curious about you Ibanez bass. Can you share more about it. What year, what you did to it. What year. Maybe how you found it.

I actually made a couple of videos on it. Here’s the first: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZl7sqeRZ8WrgZc.html It’s a 1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups

Thanks for the great video 😃 Something that's been confusing me, how do the diatonic chords fit in with modes?

@OnlineBassCourses

10 ай бұрын

Thanks! Download the free PDF that comes with this lesson (link in description). You build a mode on each different degree of the scale. Then, the diatonic chords are built from those modes. So they fit very closely! That’s the magic (or part of it anyway).

Hello, Dan! Thank you for lessons! Can you also please remind me what bass guitar you use in this video? 🙏🙂

So have I got this right, if the song was in the key of D then that would be the Ionian, E therefore Dorian etc & presumably C being Locrian? Not able to watch the whole vid yet so soz if that’s explained or is it just those specific modes work with each of those specific chords

@OnlineBassCourses

4 ай бұрын

It would be C# Locrian since that’s the seventh note (not C natural). You’ve got it otherwise!

Thanks, I’ll watch thoroughly when I can

Maybe a stupid question, I can move this mode on other notes, for example i can sound C Lydian or B Mixolydian ?

@OnlineBassCourses

Yes! You just move the pattern to a different root note and you’re playing the same mode but on a different note.

@alexm4104

Dan, can some notes in the different modes be mixed and matched?

@OnlineBassCourses

10 ай бұрын

Since all the modes from the same key share exactly the same notes, yes you can. If you use a different mode from the same key, you’re using the same notes just starting from a different place. That can sound great. E.g you’re in E Minor and it’s an E Dorian situation. Play G Lydian and you’re starting E Dorian from the 3rd note. You do not need to over analyse like that though! Just play the notes and if that sound good…carry on!

Got a serious question for anyone who'd like to answer. I struggle with why modes are worth the time and effort it takes to learn tnem. Aren't ear training combined with learning shapes and intervals more practical? Thanks

@AlexandarShmex

Both are, and the video answered your question: different scales/modes evoke different moods.

@OnlineBassCourses

10 ай бұрын

It isn’t a case of one thing or another. What you mention is incredibly important and useful. But it doesn’t mean that modes aren’t. I use modes and scales with shapes and intervals. It’s all relevant. And, you’re right, it is effort. But it’s worth putting the effort in. It all becomes clearer when you do. You see the connections much better and it all becomes a lot easier.

When I first started playing modes (scales within scales) I thought it was pointless at first. Then I realized it wasn't the notes I was retaining it was the patterns and by knowing the patterns I had a huge variety of notes available without thinking about it. Everything on the bass is a puzzle of patterns that work anywhere on the neck. When you first start you just hear the simple do re mi... Over and over until you think you are about to go insane. All of a sudden the notes will no longer be just a sound it will have a melodic tone that you build from. At first you just hear noise. Time is the only thing you can offer the guitar that it will accept. I spent weeks playing just one mode over and over until it was embedded in my brain of that pattern that I could make multiple bass lines just from one mode. Then I would take on a new mode to not overwhelm myself. You will never learn everything on the guitar so learn your style and what you want to learn but stay solid on all techniques because one day you will need a unique sound to cut through the mix without sounding muddy and a good picking or slap technique might give you that sound needed for just that one song. There will be moments you feel in a rut playing the same thing over and over. Stay consistent and your mind will open new doors you never knew possible. Good luck friend and hope something shared helps. I remember the frustration like it was yesterday.

To put playing guitar into a visual understanding use math as an example. If you never knew math (guitar) (addition, subtraction, multiplication etc.) You would first have to learn about numbers (notes + a little music theory ) once you understand how numbers work you can add them subtract them divide them or multiply them. No different than a guitar. Understanding the notes are your goal. What tools are available to putting those notes on the fretboard in a way you can understand it with "patterns". Just an analogy I remembered that helped me a lot to understanding music better.

It was like meeting Morpheus.. I'm aware of what I hear now.. 😎

Did you say 21 modes? 7 diatonic modes, 7 modes of harmonic minor, 7 modes of melodic minor, 5 pentatonic modes, and once you get past those, I there are a lot more modes of all the weird scales. What are your 21 modes?

@OnlineBassCourses

7 harmonic, melodic, and major scale modes. Those are the main ones but there are others.
