Description:
There are many major scale modes guitar lessons that exist and many ways to approach getting the guitar modes explained clearly. My approach in this lesson focuses on seeing the difference between each of the major scale modes on the fretboard by identifying the defining note of each of the modes. The "Guitar Modes Exercise" in this lesson is designed to help you internalize all seven of the major scale modes with a hands-on approach by moving one note down by one half step as you cycle through the modes on guitar along a single string. Having the guitar modes explained and practiced in this way includes a massive ear training benefit as a bonus. This exercise for major scale modes practice is made easy for beginners but it's excellent for experienced guitar players as well.

    Man, the information about the modes involving each scale degree and why using a 6 in the II chord for example isn't possible, because it would need to use a not out of the harmonic field, that clarify many things! Thank you so much man, you're the best guitar teacher!

    Wow. I have been trying to study modes lately and have been very confused as to why half of guitar teachers are just saying to start on a different note and half are saying to actually change the notes. 4 minutes into this video and it all makes sense thank you!

    Jared, great lesson, best I have seen on modes! What are your thoughts about learning the five CAGED major Ionian scale patterns and simply starting the scale pattern on the mode root note that you want to target? One teacher told me the easiest way to play modes is to learn the five Ionian scale patterns (C form, A form, G form, E form and D form) and then play the pattern starting on the 2nd note for Dorian, 3rd note for Phrygian, etc. The way you are teaching it makes it more understandable from a music theory viewpoint, but he told me it is too much work to memorize the formulas for the seven modal scales.

    Really having a hard time rapping my head around all this. I might have to go all the way back to the beginning of learning how to play the guitar, back to kids teachings note by note lol.

    Great video. A lot of guys talk about modes but nobody else seems to try and explain how and when to use them. Can't say I have a favorite mode yet. Phrygian is cool because it sounds kind of spanish. Been practicing how to visualize how these modes overlap the pentatonic scale for coloring solos. Not sure if I'm doing that right though lol

    Thanks! Yeah Phrygian is def cool. Good call trying to see them overlapping with pentatonic to improvise with. The other video I made on modes might help with that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4SHt7iTmbi7ibQ.html - I use the E scale form to show all the modes in that video, but if you did the same thing with the G form (the scale form the most common pentatonic scale shape comes from) that might get you close to what you're talking about if I understanding your goal correctly.

    I wish that you would have demonstrated on the guitar what you were describing about the charts I might have then gotten a better understanding of what you meant.

    Modes were always a mystery to me, however, over time I began to realise they are easy. However, Jared, I still do not understand what their real use is. I mean, you will never see a song score with the note that it is in C dorian. Ok, fine, you can examine the chords and deduce that it has a flat third and flat 7th, but so what, I mean the chord will have a grip, and you just play it. So what is their use?

    Hello, not sure if you still check or answer the comments. But I found the previous part of the series very clear but this one mixed me up a bit. For figuring out the minor key chords, are you still following the major scale pattern of WHOLE WHOLE HALF WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE HALF? I'm a bit confused because you changed the 1 chord to a minor so I assumed you would follow the minor scale pattern, WHOLE HALF WHOLE WHOLE HALF WHOLE WHOLE.

    I think the mistake that everyone trying to teach modes makes is 'over what chord? I cannot understand what you are saying without a reference to a chord.
