Where do you get these scale charts may I ask? I'd love to have some to practice.
Thanks

You are welcome sir!
I make them with this:

Well worth the $49, think what you spend on gear, the pro will write out scale patterns for you to learn from like those above
This is why its soooo important to see things in intervals.... min 2nd, min 3rd, maj 3rd, perfect 4th....etc.maddnotez":ewfix8ws said:LLEADD":ewfix8ws said:My understanding of modes is as follows.
I always forget the names and the exact theory behind but it still works.
Play an open Low E Drone.
Now play a D Major scale over it and try and land on the E notes.
That's Dorian. That's it.
Even though it's a D Major Scale you don't have to start or end with a D note.
But since it's an E Drone try also landing on the B and G notes, within your D Major scale.
Play any D Major scale shape/pattern all over neck.
If you play an A Drone, then play a G Major scale over it, that's Dorian too.
D Drone---play a C Major Scale. Etc.
Mixolydian---Play an E Drone, play an A Major scale over it, again land the notes you think sound best (I think's it's Mixo.)
---Play an A Drone, play a D Major Scale over it.
Moving along to the other modes, follow this video, it's really easy and makes sense.

Don't worry too much over the theory yet, start with this video
and the theory will start to make sense later down the road and will also become valuable.

Ok this video REALLY helps thank you. But I still feel uneasy and have a few questions.
This makes perfect sense and is the same thing Blitz Described. I get it 100%
However what is confusing is the "theory" talk. The flat thirds and Sharp 4ths ect.
Telling me Dorian mode is the major scale with a flat third and 7th is fine but let me explain. Lets say that you are playing the major scale on the 5th fret exactly like in this video.
Why would you not just play the same exact notes on the same exact frets but only flatten the third note and the seventh note vs. Playing the same exact scale a step down?

So hard for me to follow this lingo. Thanks for the reply.

This.
I have this book and it cleared up modes for me in the first sitting. You just have to find an approach that works for you.
bartzzz":2ilpl1yr said:There's a lot of noise around the modes but it really isn't that complex. They should have been called moods because each mode creates a different mood but it's
MINOR
dorian sounds minor
phrygian sounds minor
MAJOR
lydian sounds major
mixolydian sounds major
practical uses:
DORIAN - go down a tone and play major
you're playing in an A minor/blues kinda thing, or you're playing Santana, Evil Ways, easy, just muck around in G major- but try end on A
PHRYGIAN - go down 2 tones and play major
You're rocking out in E minor pentatonic and you want to get mysterious, easy just start mucking around in C major - but try to end on E
LYDIAN - go up a 5th and play that major scale
You're jamming out in E major and you want to get a little Satrianiesque, just start mucking around in B major - but try to end on E
MIXOLYDIAN - go up a 4th and play that major scale
You're vamping on a G7 chord like a funky groove. Start mucking around in C major. Instant mixo! - but try to end on G
