To be fair he's just using two chords that are characteristic of that mode, each mode has specific intervals that are characteristic of it. When the chords are heard showing those specific intervals, it informs you which mode it is and makes it easier to solo with odd modes. Like with the Lydian mode, it's a major scale but with a sharp 4th so when you want to give the cue that you're in Lydian you'd play a major chord with an added sharp 4th to show it's lydian, and then you'd play the Lydian mode over it with added focus on the major triad arpeggio with the added #4. The chord combinations he's choosing come from that, if you've got an odd scale that you want to make sound more natural you put chords based on that mode in the progression with those "characteristic notes" and it then makes those notes a part of the "tonal center".

@kkarx

2 жыл бұрын

@Dude Man The thing is it is the specific mode only if you play it over the tonic chord so using just one chord makes perfect sense. Jake used two chords for each demonstration so he in fact played two modes.... If you play the same scale over all 7 chords you'll play all 7 modes. They change naturally. It might be quite confusing

Many teachers merely explain the modes, but don't give practical applications for them. Jake does this, making this tutorial of Harmonic Minor modes stand out above many other tutorials.

Aside from the Phrygian Dominant and the base mode, I’ve had a lot of trouble using the other modes of harmonic minor in writing so this is EXTREMELY helpful! Especially since I write a lot of metal stuff

@williamcompitello2302

8 ай бұрын

6th mode is cool if you use maj.7/maj. Aug.7 on the 7th degree, and then resolve with the root. Or just use a root, using the full dim. chord for tension.

I really like your choice of demonstrating all these modes taking the same note as root instead of always using the notes of A harmonic minor to build what would be B Locrian 6, C Ionian #5 etc. I've seen lots of people struggling with modes when they´re presented using all the same notes (like C Ionian, D dorian, E phrygian etc), because their ears just keep gravitating towards that first root note. Building all these modes from A, in my opinion, highlights the differences in sound so much more precisely! Great video!

Please do also the modes of melodic minor and harmonic major this way! It' s such an insightful way of demonstrating modes and you' re so good at it.

Lately, I've become obsessed with playing around with different modes of this scale. You can get all kinds of "exotic" sounds that go far beyond the "Arabian" sound you get from the Phrygian dominant. I love them all, but my favorites are the Ionian #5, Dorian #4, and Lydian #2.

The Phrygian Dominant is like the best spice in the world, and the superlocrian just burned my tongue! Miss your vids dude, always a pleasure to learn this stuff. Btw I love how you frequently promote other useful channels, that's the spirit!

16:08 Just a little tip; major third/minor third chords in scales are often used as power chords in death metal and death metal-ask songs as in to make some sort of phrygian-phrygian dominant "in between" scale in a way not unlike that of the metallica scale, you can hear this in some songs like entombed wolverine blues and carcass heartwork/buried dreams but its pretty much everywhere if you look hard enough

Man your videos are so damn good I almost feel guilty for not supporting or donating....90% of the total theory stuff i know I learned from you... Love from Bangladesh

Just gotta try not to sound too much like Hava Nagila or Come Out and Play! That fourth mode though...

Great points! I don't blame your ear for hearing the actual tonic there - in an "actual composition", i'd probably to to spend way more time on the iv chord in order to fool you into hearing that as the tonic.

I do think that scale is really worth exploring though, even just as a compliment to a minor chord, it has a great spice

As soon as you started playing each mode as a solo along with demo track, each one started to sound very similar.

Hands down one of the best music theory channels on YT!

One of the interesting things I noticed during this is that you don't mention the fact that in a particular orientation, the Diminished 7th chord has a diatonic note available that's one semitone below the chord root. This actually comes up in your jam track under the Phyrigian Dominant scale, where you Bbdim7/A is playing that note one semitone below as well. With that note as the root, the whole chord becomes A7b9, which is how some music theorists see the Diminished 7th chord. You can convert the dim7 to a 7b9 working from any of the 4 notes, but that root note would not be diatonic to the scale (this isn't always a bad thing!), and there may be an enharmonic spelling mistake that you need to think about (nor is this!), similar to the one with the F minor chord in A Harmonic Minor.

@@SignalsMusicStudio I actually discovered that chord when writing something in Dorian #4, where I put a G# in the bass on a D#dim7 chord, and was confused as to why it sounded so good (and better than any other bass note I tried to "fix" it with)... This chord (G#7b9) is one of the ones with a spelling mistake (the C should be spelled as B#), but that not too much of a practical concern. A small note on chord voicings: notes a semitone apart can sound very rough when played together, especially in the bass. For the A7b9, Bb should probably not be the second lowest note in the chord, unless it's at least an octave away from the A, and even then it might still sound a little weird. Both C# and E are good places to start stacking notes from, here.

It’s wasn’t until you talked about Dorian #4 that I realised, within the major scale, there is no point at which any of the available major chords falls a whole tone above any of the available minor chords. It knew it all along, but just hadn’t connect those dots within the fuller picture. Thanks for your immensely useful tutorials! 👊
