A lot of channels teach me something, and then it just stops there with that riff or theory idea. But with this channel I always feel like I leave with the tools to keep growing beyond the video. Great stuff!

This will be the most tame out of all of the videos in this series, since it's Major and it's the intro video. You can bet we'll be playing with more odd time signatures and non diatonic chords in future videos :). Also- weird glitch alert at 12:45. I'm leaving it in, cause this is the 4th time I've uploaded and rendered this video and I don't wanna delay it again!

Jake, thank you for such well thought out and professionally presented material. I am reigniting a once strong passion for playing the guitar (mostly hard rock/metal) that was put on hold many years ago when I started my career as an airline transport pilot. Unfortunately I broke my neck last summer racing motocross and as a result have partial paralysis and on disability. With much unwanted down time to try and figure things out, I decided to start playing my guitars and relearn theory. With my hands and fingers being effected, it is like I am starting all over again and have little dexterity. Your videos have given me productive motivation and help with depression struggles. I have almost watched everyone of your videos late into the evening when the rest of the family are sleeping. I have spent hours searching the internet for good instructors with a more relaxed, personal approach and I find your videos the most enjoyable and beneficial for me - Thanks again Jake for your contribution to this community.

I swear Jake has been the only person able to drive these concepts home for me. I built up so many mental blocks and anxieties that I never thought I'd get to a point where I understand these concepts enough to actually follow along with other tutorials/resources I come across.

It's amazing how Rush is still relevant.

When jake makes a video... You know its a good day

Jake, you make me want to grab my guitar -- and never play it again -- both at the same time. You friend, are a roller coaster ride of creativity over the top. Some big progressive rock band should pick you up. But we're Soooo happy you're taking time for us!!! You're my most valuable mentor at this time of my life. Thank you so much.

The A/B part was really helpful to me personally, as I can often come up with something but then feel stuck in a loop where my song can’t progress further. Great video as always !

dang i cant believe how many musical secrets you give us for free! as a beginner you could make very cool music after a year just following youre advice, dang i am still stoked on how the internet is such a good learning source :) and thank you! i can see what youre doing for us and the worth of it is humongous!

I truly hope that all of the songs from this series will become full length songs and be released as an album. I don’t know how this man does it! Such versatile musicianship.

Your voice! You could narrate documentaries, call sporting events. Teaching music theory is just the tip of your iceberg. Take off like a rocket man!

One of the best channels on here! Massively appreciated

Mode 1: Keep crafting until you have a riff that makes you happy. Mode 7: Okay, so I was lying about happiness... You know, I was just thinking earlier today about the other common way of ordering the major modes--the brightness scale--and how it forms this sort of helix where you can keep lowering (or raising) one note at a time through all the modes until you get to the border between Lydian and Locrian, and when you cross it you move down (or up) to the next key and start all over again. It's really interesting how these two modes are defined by the tritone in the scale (the only two modes that do this) and yet could not sound farther apart from each other because of the difference between the tritone as a raised fourth versus a lowered fifth. I find it really interesting to explore the relationships between each mode's two "brightness" neighbors--such as major / Ionian, which brightens into Lydian and darkens into Mixolydian.

You're the best teacher on internet for sure. I've been struggling to learn and it became so much easier when I found this channel. You're simply amazing teaching. Great job!!!

This series will be a gold mine just like every other series you've done already! Best guitar youtube channel hands down!!!

Jake, I've been watching plenty of videos on youtube and all the great guys who can teach you music theory and guitar stuff but I have to admit your videos are the most comprehensive ones. Amazing job, man! Really appreciate your help and dedication. These are the most well spent minutes and soon to be hours. I'm truly sad I discovered your channel only a few days ago. I've been learning guitar for 2 years and now, when I finally decided to move to some more advanced stuff, your channel is the best motivation ever. It's incredible how clear you can be in your speech and how much information you can provide in one single video. Much appreciated! Wish you all the best and see you on Patreon. Amazing job!

I don't often comment here, but I thought I would take the opportunity of this day of celebration, and thank you for the work you do here, I really enjoy it and despite being an old fart am learning, and to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Thanks for this wonderful work,jake. This is my favorite music Chanel so far. I’ve been learning a lot with your vídeos.

Thank you Jake for your amazing work! As an aspiring guitarist I'm oftentimes Ieft in awe after one of your videos. What you're teaching here feels like magic, but you make it appear palpable

Outstanding video! Your knowledge and musicianship are both incredible; but your ability to arrange and present these concepts in such an easygoing, laidback, and understandable way is amazing. I truly look forward to the rest of this series! Thank!

Holy crap this really gets me excited to learn guitar. I’ve never been able to see music theory so clearly and link it to actually creating music, a lot of your videos have been helping me open my eyes.

Oh my god I‘m so hyped for this series! Thank you for doing this!

Fantastic video man. I want to binge the rest right now. very well laid out, great fast delivery without being confusing, and good tips on how to think about how to achieve what you're going for.

I’d hate to think some guitarists might decide to skip this one because of the title (and just assuming all major is boring). This might be one of the absolute best songwriting instructional videos on the Internet. Amazing stuff here. This is the content that’s so hard to find. It’s not just the theory stuff, but how to hook it all up together. Thanks so much for making these.

You really make this all look so simple and your love of music is contagious and inspiring. Thank you so much.

I've been subscribing this channel for quite a while now and I've learned so many stuffs which are very useful and very practical. Since Im a self taught musician I was lacking musical theory and was always stuck to a point being unable to compose my own stuffs, but now I'm able to write my own song, thank you so much Jake, you are absolutely a great teacher. Best music lesson channel on KZread

I'm a pretty experienced musician. I grew up with my uncle upstairs from us playing drums. And by the time I was 12, I've always been in multiple bands. Writing all types of songs with my friends. I had a more than basic understanding of music theory. However, lately I've felt like I'm hitting a wall, and wanted to start learning more tools to add to my arsenal. I've started watching your videos like a Month ago and they've opened doors for me in my writing. I love that you actually show us how you would apply the different skills as a composer. Keep doing what you do brother.

I love how you can play for the video and it sound super distorted and dirty then as soon as you record it.. its so smooth and clean. LOVE IT.

What a wonderful teacher you are! Sometimes many guitarists can play the instrument, but they definitely cannot explain the theory in an effective, easily understandable manner, but you nail it with such an ease, I really admire your ability of music instruction.

Really appreciate your videos, Jake. You helped me develop a lot both in guitar playing and in the understanding of music / song writing. Keep it up!

Jake is a great teacher and musician. The content of this channel is consistently great!

Bro this is literally the video I was looking for like two days ago. Thank you for being awesome!

I haven’t watched a video of yours yet that disappoints me in any way. You are an amazing teacher and I look forward to seeing your videos every time I open my KZread app. Thank you for all that you do.

Very well explained, one of if not the best "how to write riffs" videos out there, and trust me, I've spent a lot of time looking 😅 congrats! Can't wait for the next one!

I like to go to any of the other Diatonic Modes just like going to the Relative Minor. In F Major, it's fun to go to the "Relative Lydian" Bb Lydian, for example. Or A Phrygian.

I didn't believe it was possible, your posts are getting better! For me you have one of the most entertaining and instructive channels on the interweb :-)

I like the way you explain the processes, and I'm glad I can stop and rewind as much as I need to.

"Let's make this sound Rush-like" and does so perfectly. Beautiful way to highlight the possibilities of Ionian having tension, as interesting, bright and driving rather than just syrupy sweet like most artists write. Brilliant A+ effort!

This year, I am thankful for jake. We appreciate all your content.

Can only thank you for yet another great video . As I have said many times, you have taught me so much, which I thought was so beyond me . But slowly slowly. Am truly grateful, cheers

I have missed your channel so much Jake!!!! Glad to see a new video. :D

I cannot begin how to explain how much this walkthrough process helped me with my understanding of why my riffing was lacking and how to improve it. Thanks!

Fascinating to see your process here! Thanks for *ALL* your wonderful video instructions!

you are 1st on youtube who show me how to riff around scales! Genius!

That was good man. This was not only well presented, you also played and explained the processes beautifully and clearly. I respect your passionate enthusiasm too. Thank You.

This series is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you so much!

So good, Jake! I love your stuff so much. Favorite teacher on KZread.

This has been the most helpful so far! Love it

GREAT video and lesson today Jake! Finding you’re channel was one of the best things about 2019. Keep up the awesome & inspiring work 👍🏻😄👍🏻

Wow Bro. This is one of the most amazing creations i ever saw in a you tube video. You're amazing i promise i will pick up my guitar again and start making Muzik

This dude is a bad ass teacher.... Nice to know someone is still teaching theory these days and does it in a fun and understandable way :)

Awesome!!! So excited for this series of videos!

Thank you for the Christmas gift, and 6 more to come.

dude you're a wizard, thanks for everything you put on this amazing channel

Jake, I'm a really old guy who plays keys, not guitar. And I haven't really learned much new in years. But I can tell you that I've learned as much useful, interesting stuff from you as any keyboard guys on KZread. Nice work, Bud Thanks.

Thanks, Jake! I've been working a lot lately in the F Major/D Minor Scale, so you picked a great key to teach this in for me! I love your lessons!

Great idea for a series!

Great job! Always a new wrinkle in my brain after watching your videos

Cool. Love lessons like this. Showing the process is just on another level of making video that is really worth the subscription.

This video was so helpful in my writing process. Thanks Jake for share

Another great post, will n enjoy following this series.

Fascinating, purely fascinating!!! My head is exploding with all this stuff running through it right now! I cannot wait for Phrygian! I gotta get back to my practice so I can utilize what I have just seen!!! Keep it up and anxiously awaiting more!!!!

I remember when Neely and Beato had 300k. Rick needs to add more of this songwriting/sculpting to his channel. It's always good to learn your scales and play the changes, but it's songs and tunes that make playing worth while-- a vehicle, a context, an environment, a story. Also like the shout out to the shaping that the rhythm section plays and the effect that the arrangement has on things. This really spoke to creating as an application of all the technique and theory. You get chops, you get a vocabulary and then it's time to tell a story. When you write the story you go into the studio and you make the movie. Excellent class and an excellent-- and needed-- addition to the KZread University music department curriculum.

Hey Jake, I'm an aspiring composer with cerebral palsy. Although I don't play guitar, I've learned a lot of compositional techniques from your channel, and I wanted to thank you. You are always clear, concise, and have a great sense of humor. Please keep up your quality work!

Great vid man! You explain things so clearly, the riffage is strong with you!

I hated music theory before knowing this channel, now i love It, i enjoy learning and praticing, thx jake

amazing as always

I love that even though I can't even play a single chord on a guitar (I'm keys & vocals only!), your videos still help me write songs. :)

Thank you! Very to the point of fascilitating creativity, not just plain theority or finger gym

Thanks bro for such a wonderful lesson, it helped me a lot to develop and improve my guitar techniques. May God bless you.🙏

I just want to say thank you, because you actually do explain where do you get your music ideas. It's actually possible to learn something from you, because there's a lot of youtube videos where people describe their writing process as "well I'm just fooling around until I come up with something". And since that approach might work if you have enough experience with it, it's still hard to come up with some concrete musical idea if you want to tell something, when you try to make some certain mood and feeling. And I gotta admit that I'm surprised and a little bit scared of how simple math can describe what we can feel

eagerly waiting for this series :)
