Like modes? Consider buying my ULTIMATE MODAL POSTER: teespring.com/signals-ultimat...

Instead of learning thousands of scale shapes, why not just learn how to use the ones you already have? In this lesson, I'll be demonstrating how one tiny little scale shape can be wielded with infinite power to create all 7 different modal tonalities.

Hopefully this helps you all realize that whatever scale shapes you've learned are totally usable for any sort of modal playing. You just have to really understand the idea of modal tonality.

This is the third video where the prime goal is to help people understand modes, however this is speciically geared towards guitarists. The other two modal videos can be found here-

    Jake makes you realize how much you already know, he just connects the dots. What an eye opener this video. Thank you very much!
  • @lucassobris
    That’s it, I’m legitimately calling you the best teacher here on youtube
  • @samtate1260
    I am 61 years old been learning a few years and this was a eye opener for me thank you for your help 👍
  • @Roger8176
    This guy has the ultimate voice over voice or radio voice. He seriously has one of the best voices i have heard.
  • @MattLGreer
    This video is, by far, the most informative and eye-opening lesson on this subject that I've ever seen. Not only does it illustrate the modes but also helps with understanding the notes in all those chords. Fantastic. No need to be subscribed to any other music-theory-teaching youtube channel. This is the only one I need! Thank you!
  • @gsutton13
    Been playing guitar for decades...In 17 minutes you have made these concepts completely obtainable! Now I actually feel like I can "Master the Fretboard". Thank you my friend! (BTW, you should think about voice-over work, great pipes!)
  • @bluesriderDF
    I've never understood modes, you're the first person to explain it in a way that makes sense.
  • @The9thChord
    Being self taught, I've been stuck in a plateau. This video has opened many doors. Appreciate it.
  • He has one of the best speaking voices on YouTube. Literally amazes me every time :-)
  • @mal9948
    Finally, someone who uses the word "tonality" correctly! Too many use the word tonality to describe tone colour or timbre. Tonality is, simply put, whether something sounds major or minor. This is good music education as well as a great guitar tutorial. Well done Jake!
  • I think I've watched hundreds of video's, referenced scores of books and pdfs, and I keep coming back to Jake Lizzio. I learn more here than anywhere else, hands down. Thank you, Jake Lizzio you are a true teacher. 🤟🤘🤘
  • Just skip between Jake Lizzio and Rick Beato and research a little, you are set for life.
  • I've known my modal scales for years, but this is the first lesson I've watched that actually explains the how, why, and when of using them in a way that makes sense. Thank you!
  • @tonywtyt
    This was the best demonstrations I've ever seen. Everybody just want to teach you the shapes across the neck and something gets lost. I think what did it for me was the fact that you're stressing the 1-3-5 notes of the mode, without the idea of having to total move to a different shape.
  • @zenrobotninja
    I can’t believe I actually understood a YouTube video on music theory...Brqvo sir, what a teacher
  • @fabiojsf85
    One of the most clarifying videos about modes. I really got how to use them. Excellent video!! Cheers!
  • This is one of my favorite guitar lesson channels on YT, and that intro was absolutely brilliant! This guy reinforces things I've known for years, but never applied myself to. Now that I took time off, and started playing guitar and bass again, these videos and their pacing have been invaluable tools for practice and most importantly writing new riffs. I've definitely gotten that spark back, and while it's been a huge combination of a bunch of little things put together, these videos have made a huge difference in keeping things new helping me to continue to innovate. 25 years ago when I started playing bass, any information this comprehensive would have been only available on a VHS tape for at least $20 from the local music store, a booklet that might be a little cheaper, or paying for actual physical guitar lessons. My point is this is all free and easily accessible. I would have paid good money to get lessons like this. Cheers fellow musicians!

    This is, by far, the best explaining of the modes, finding them and use them in a way that you really hear the difference.
