Chain modes for SUPER moody solos - You never used modes like this!
Просмотров 25 тыс.2 месяца назад
For modal chains you will use modes of the major scale like you never did before! Modal chaining makes use of the common tone modulation. In stead of using a random note, we’ll use the characteristic note of the mode for a real special sound. Like this we’ll chain a couple of the same modes but with a different tonic. For instance, C Lydian - B Lydian - A Lydian - Eb Lydian. Anything goes. We c...

    I'm confused. On playing Modes of A chart, at 10:30. I first thought one would just count down from A to find the Major scale to play. Dorian is 2nd notes down from A, so play G major scale. But, the G# is not included in the count down. For Lydian, the G# is included in the 4th note count down from A. How does that formula work. And what is "bes"?

    Great advice for any player of any level. I love the way that Victor Wooten talks about notes in his book, The Music Lesson. He says each note is like it’s own little world, a la Horton Hears a Who. Focusing on letting each note live and breathe in the way that best serves the music is a cool way to think about playing. Thanks for the reminder, friend.

    This approach of adding a note to pentatonic scales and making it hexatonic and then the full mode may work for people who have played only pentatonic scales and then want to incorporate modal playing. However, it is best to learn modes based on Major scale patterns (like you show in the third approach) and absorb sound intervals and thereby grasp the key characteristics of each mode. Also, on a different note, saying Dm pentatonic over D Doran scale is potentially confusing. Perhaps one could say playing Dm pentatonic over D Dorian chord progression.

    Another one trying to confuse beginners to look knowledgable. All modern discussion of modes is a sham. In the system of keys they are just variations on the scale pattern, not a separate entity to complicate mental assessment of the desired effect. Made up out of thin air ideas to confuse people. Just like the high priests of the Pythagorean church keeping it a secret that the intervals weren't actually perfect ratios when they discovered it later on. All you beginners, ignore all talk of modes and stick solely to the system of keys.

      Everyone can have his/her own opinion of course, but for the viewers of this post the following is important (in my opinion): This is not an explanation of modes for beginners and this lesson is not pointed at beginners. Besides that, modal music is another thing than tonal music. It's a different approach and not a "variation on scale patterns" of the major keys. Functional harmony doesn't apply on modes as it does on typical tonal music. This is commonly accepted by musicians all over the world.
