    Brandonnnn, are my eyes cheating me or did you fook up the intervallic structure of the pentatonic scales? At 5:35 you count the notes as "1 2 3 5 6" this seems correct to me, but at 6:01 you write "1 2 3 4 5" Sooooo... why it that, please? Is it a mistake from your side? I am a lil confused.

    Honestly, I think the approach of starting modes from each note from a major scale is really useless in a practical way. Things like “if you wanna play F lydian, think about the C major scale but start on F”, and not only this is confusing, imagine wanting to play B lydian, you would have to figure out a scale in which B is the 4th note and then play that scale from it. It seems simple in paper, but imagine you’re improvising over a song a it has 2 borrowed chords from let’s say phrygian, it’s too complicated to use this approach in an improvising scenario. Me personally, think “formulas” are way easier to grasp. I.g. Lydian has a #4, so if you want to play C Lydian, just play C major and raise the fourth, makes so much more sense. Another interesting way of looking at modes, is to relate the minor modes to the minor pentatonic scale, since for example, Mixolydian si just adding the major third to the pentatonic. Hope this helps someone struggling to learn modes (just like I did)

I write and record originals, so coming up with melodies and solos has been such a nightmare since I dont really know any theory or scales.. so Im trying to learn what I shouldve done years ago... I do feel ridiculous for asking this, but why does there seem to be an extra note in these scales?. Im seeing that most scales have 7 notes, as shown in the text for each of the scales...but when hes playing out the scale, theres always one extra note being played...Like... "D DORIAN - D E F G A B C" which has 7 notes, yet 8 were played. what the heck am I missing here?

    С lydian is a forth degree of G Which means that if I play G major scale, I also play C lydian. Why 4rth degree? Maj scale -> Dorian -> Phrygian -> Lydian (№4) Which means that if you know all the Maj scales, you can play any mode. Bonus: every Maj scale has it's relative minor a.i. Alien mode or some SH, which is 6th degree. For example. If you play G maj scale you actually play E minor scale/mode. But nobody of you would use that, cuz you gonna go play you penta I know you c*nts Supergame? Nah I would take the money.
