OMG! WHERE could I be now if I had learned this years ago! 40 years of frustration, confusion and $1,000's spent on lessons, tapes books, memberships, 💿s and DVDs cleared up in 15:25 by Brian who I just happened to stumble upon on KZread! THANK YOU, BRIAN!!

Brian is the man!

You sir are the hidden gem of guitar content creators.

That is the clearest, most concise explanation of modes I have heard so far. This was my 'riding a bike' moment. I will never 'unlearn' modes again. Excellent Brian!

And that's why you are the bestest guy on the Web, at explaining theory stuff. Years of confusion cleared up while having my tea. It is like knowing how a magic trick works when you are shown. Nice one as ever. Thanks Brian.

I can say exactly what you have said martyn, wow. The only difference is that I am sitting here having my morning coffee. So thank you Brian. What I don't understand is that even though I went to jazz school for two years, they still failed to explain this and even though I took piano lessons from a few different teachers, they failed me on this and even though I was hanging out with a lot of musicians, that were also teaching music, no one ever explained this to me. My question is: " how on earth can that bee? " again : " how can that be? Why? Is it that people just don't want to share their secrets so they alone can shine?" please if some one knows the answer, tell it to stupid me.

@@AnnemieM Sometimes I get the feeling they deliberately complicate stuff. Perhaps I am being paranoid, then again I came to theory very late on because I feared it for some unknown reason. It has certainly helped me immensely and I have Brian to thank for that mostly. My only regret is the silly amount of time I wasted whilst being so unaware.

@@AnnemieM Hey , the same here, talking about morning coffee .

Slowly getting clearer about modes... I think... Will have to watch it a few times more. Thanks man I appreciate what you are doing.

We in the guitar community are so fortunate to have discovered a guy with the gift of teaching. You make the complicated simple. Thank you, Brian.

That's teaching at its best, imparting useful information without over-complicating matters for the sake of displaying the depth of one's own knowledge.

Brilliant lesson Brian. Brings so much clarity to the use of modes. The emphasis on the underlying chord is what made it slot into place for me. The example of modal chord progressions was the icing on the cake. Awesome!

If you liked this lesson, definitely stop by and check out my website www.zombieguitar.com 😀 Also, definitely check out part 2 and 3.

I just love that you don't over complicate concepts. Music theory was off putting for me because people make it sound so complicated.

Yes! I love a good pun. Just put that one in my pocket.

wow. you just cleared up a lifetime of mode confusion, thank you so much for this lesson, you are an awesome teacher, you made my day

Man I have been digging and digging for help understanding modes and your mode videos have blown the whole thing open for me. Thanks Brian! You’re a wealth of guitar info my friend.

Thanks for this, finally beginning to understand modes. Great Teacher, I signed up for Brian’s full membership. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

That's probably the clearest explanation of what modes are all about that I've heard on the interweb so far. Thanks for taking the time to tackle such a tricky topic, subscribed!

Excellent Brian! You nailed it! Best I've seen on how to create a modal chord progression, as well as how to use modes. I knew how to use modes, but didn't understand how to create a specific modal progression. Thank you!

Brian is that one magician who not only demonstrates an awesome magic trick but is also willing to show you how it is done 🙌🙌

Not only did you teach modes very simply you even took the SAME chord and switched the key signature to really hammer it home. Excellent video

Hands down your the best online teacher I've come across man! Love your stuff. You explain things so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Incredible lesson. Thanks Brian for all you do.

Thanks Brian. You really do have a knack for cutting through to the essence of things and explaining them in plain language. I now think I get the whole mode thing a lot more clearly . Glad I signed up for your full courses with all that available material.

Brian, wonderful lesson! I completely agree with what you said about modes, you solidified what I thought modes are. I love how you showed the circle of 5ths and highlighted the chords as you played. Awesome job, buddy! Thank you very much!

Thanks Brian. When I lose my way I keep coming back to this post to get me back on track in understanding modes. So well explained. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

So so glad I found your page Brian. Your teaching is awesome man.

Thank you Sir, that was a very clear demonstration of how modes work & what they are... You also show/demonstrate how the circle of 5th help/work with the modes/key signature. Best demonstration of modes & their function I have ever seen. I should add, I just subscribed !!! Thank you again!!!

Wow that was bloody brilliant!...so much clearer when done simply. Nice one mate, nice one!

Brian - so basic, easy6, but brilliant. You explain in only a couple of minutes with things that many guitarists struggle with for years! Well done sir.

That was an a-ha moment for me. Brian, you are easily one of the best teachers out there 🤟🏼

So well presented keep the amazing videos coming my friend

Brilliant lesson . Made modes a lot clearer! Thank you

You Sir are one hell of a music teacher. You have a gift. Thank you for using it and helping us🎸

Love you music KZreadrs. I struggled for years but now I get it a bit more with every video . Thanks

This really helps demystify the concept of modes for me. Excellent lesson Brian!

1:24 Modes are based on chords. It took me many years to understand this. I think one reason why so many people don't understand this is because so many bad guitar "teachers" on YT are wrong or make it unnecessarily difficult. The reason I like you is that you make it easy to understand.

You are a brilliant teacher, Brian! All clear as never before. Thanks a lot! 🖐️

Great lesson and a great teacher everytime!!!

Brilliant lesson, Brian. Perfect logical sense. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Yet another great lesson Brian. I was stuck on which chord progressions you then played which mode over. I understood after watching Brian’s lessons what modes were after going down many confusing lessons here on KZread. I highly recommend you follow All Brian’s lessons and things will become clear and you will be on the right path.

Nice one, Brian. Very succinct, and cleared up all the misconceptions I had about the dreaded "modes". Thanks 🎸👍

Excellent tutorial. Got it finally. Thx a lot!

That’s high quality content as always! I ❤️ Zombie Guitar!

Thank you so much! I knew already that modes are about the chords sequence but now you made it all sounds almost easy! Look forward to watch your next lesson about "the modes". Thanks again for your great advice!!!

Two and a half years now learning from Brian, best lesson yet. Thank you 🎸🍻

Awesome! Great video.

Thank you very much Brian. This is fantastic knowledge. Thank you for sharing it!

Excellent! Thank you!

Eloquent explanation of modes. Excellent teaching ability too. Much appreciated!

Thank you Brian! I've never seen this topic described so easily and clearly. Looks I finally got it:)

Great lesson. Cheers buddy

Brian what you just did with this video is deliver me from confusion that I had for many years. This to me is gold worth. Thank you so very much. Now excuse me while I get out my piano. 💕💕💕

Ditto on the “brilliant “. And thanks for your quick response to my question this morning-delighted to have a membership to your site!

Very good explanation. That helped me out. Thanks

Great explanation and examples as usual, thanks Brian 😁👍

This video is just the perfect explanation I was looking for, thank you so much!

Best video ever. Great explanation. Thank you.

Brilliant! You the man! 👍🏼😀

amazing... your lesson gives the most foundational element. sometimes listening to many teacher makes a lot of confusion coz one teaches series mode, one teaches parallel mode, others different. but you made it clear to me. thanks

Wow you unlocked the door to finally understanding the functions of modes in relation of scales to chord progressions. After being a musician for many years, I always heard people describe music as being modal and have heard it in music. Thanks for teaching clearly the function of modes.

Thank you. I feel that you have given me a toehold on this. Hopefully it finally begin to make sense. Love your videos.

superb explanation! thanks

The best way is how you expressed this. And make me understand how I can use it in the right context. Continue your fine work.

Excellent video! For the last several years I've been catching up on music theory I missed when younger by watching KZread videos. Never mind that I've been playing by ear since 1970. I still didn't understand why the sounds I slowly added to my repertoire of stupid human tricks seemed to work for my taste. I got my practical theory basics pretty much filled in, finally, and things aren't so much of a mystery anymore. Over the last couple of years, guitar videos have bored me because they weren't answering questions anymore. However, I decided to look at this video, and Brian, you about summed it up for me. If there were any questions left about modes, you cut through the crap and solidified what I've been learning to date. Now I have new adventures to explore. Thank you, sir!

Nice Job !!! Best Explanation of this Concept !!! Thanks !!!...

Beautifully explained as always 👍

Thanks Brian for a brilliant lesson I really enjoyed the chordal proressions as even knowing the scales doesn't mean you know how to use them. I have a better understanding of the importance of the chords.

You the man, Brian. Thanks for the vid.

extremely helpful MANY thanks

Great video, Brian. It is, all about the chords!

Thx for this good video ... really helps me !!

You're excellent teacher Bryan direct to the point👏

Thanks, this clarifies everything

Thanks once again, Brian!

Another ahaaa moment thanks to you Brian. You are simply amazing. Thank you!

Excellent!!!

brilliant explanation , well done

Yes very clear explanation. I was educated. Thank you.

Brian, single best modes explanation for dummies like me, that I ever seen. Thank you. Subscribed!

You're the best, Brian. Great explanation.

The light just went on…finally a concise demonstration rather than a dry explanation! Modes change the mood of the melody,,,that’s it, that’s all. Got to hear them to understand them. Thank you.

Thanks Brian, this clear and practical explanation of modes took away all the mystery of modes for me.

Hey Irish brother from across the sea! that was brilliant! Light bulb went off for me thank you! Fantastic clear lesson! 👏👏👏

A great explanation, I see the light it's less foggy now. Thanks.

Outstanding!

Thanks Brian. You teach using a technique which definitely resonates with me. Even a complex subject, such as modes, can become easier to comprehend when we look at the situation from a different perspective. Of course, like I keep telling my son, everything is easy once you understand it. ;)

Suddenly it all clicked and started to make sense. Thank you so much!

You are the best music teacher I have ever come across!

You're the best!!!!! I'm a newbie...injust enjoy watching u

As usual you do a great job explaining!! Mahalo

Good stuff! Thanks Zombie man :)

Many thank's Brian, that was like walking through a forest. And then coming to a clearing, that was a great lesson!!

Bloody brilliant 👍🙏

It only took me 17 fucking years. The scale comes from the key center and the mode from the chord being played. A tonal center is a chord and whether that chord is the first through seventh tone of a key center determines it's modal name. Thank you dude.

Really well explained Brian well done

Like you said so simple and kind of confusing, but you made it clear again, thanks a million Brian

Great work

Wow!! Best explanation of Modes I've ever heard anywhere, EVER!

Very good!
