Learning The Modes Pt.1: The Sound Of The Modes
Added 2023-01-13 12:33:35 +0000 UTCIf there’s one question I hear more than any others when it comes to music theory, it’s definitely: “What are the modes? And how do I apply them to my playing?” So I thought what better way to kick things off than starting to tackle this often-misunderstood and over-complicated subject!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

2023-01-28 20:16:17 +0000 UTCThat's the first time I sort of understand the modes a bit! In some guitar lessons I've took I learned to play the major and minor scales, dorian and aeolian modes but I didn't know how to make any use of this and what they are really ! I'm still a bit confused on how to use them but I guess you'll expand the topic! :)

2023-01-28 20:14:30 +0000 UTCI found the song examples to be extremely useful. Really looking forward to future lessons on the topic :D

2023-01-28 01:04:54 +0000 UTCThis is [exactly] the information I was looking for. Like. Sorting all this disparate information I've got stored away into something much more digestible, and so much more detail and context than you'd think such a short, extemporaneous-seeming video would have.
