Hi! Nice to have you back!
Ok well G major and D major you were correct!
On F major you called the not A# instead of Bb
And on Bb you are very far away!
So let's do that here is the circle of fifth that I would like you to learn!
[attachment=27591:circle_o...or_wheel.jpg]
As you can see if we will move clockwise we will get sharps added opposite way flats
So that's how sharps are added:
F - C - G - D -A - E
Flats are added this way:
B - E - A - D - G - C

Now using this system do the numbers for Bb major scale again!
I would like you to start learning circle of fifths and get more comfortable with it!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

Hey Alex, I was wondering that why don't A# and G# exist in the circles ?

It will take a little longer than that to really learn it
We will start to get into improvisation a little bit more!
Here is a II - V - I backing track in E minor
http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/ii-v-i-jam
This is the track that we will be using for a while and I will give you assignments based on it!
The chords are:
Emi7 - A7 - Dmaj7

Over E mi7 chord I want you to play E dorian mode

Over A7
A minor blues pentatonic

Over D major 7 F# minor pentatonic


Try to be as melodic as possible and
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

It's tough to know which chords goes on when. They all sound quiet similar, This would need a lot of ear working from me, I don't have a good ear.
Can you help me with that too?

Hey Alex, I was wondering that why don't A# and G# exist in the circles ?

A# and G# sharp do exist!
When A major scale is coming G# is coming along and stays in the circle!
A major is the third scale with 3 sharps
F# - C# - G#
A# is coming with B major scale!
It will have 5 sharps
F# - C# - G# - D# - A#

A Major scale is the third scale ??? Isn't it supposed to be the first ? The world of theory is so confusing.

There is no numbers for major scales
If it's major it's major
If you will harmonize any major scale that's what you will get:
M - Major m - minor
M - m - m - M - M - m - Diminished

And for each mode you will have a name
Aeolian - Dorian - Phrygian - Lydian - Mixolydian - Ionian - Locrian

Let me know if it makes sense and if you have any questions!

I want to integrate this and GMC stuff into my routine.

http://picksnlicks.com/Guitar%20Lessons/Ex..._workout_1.html

But, man, I want to confess something.
I cant stop my creativity. Most of the times during my playing, I tend to get bored with something after sometime and then I start toying around., playing riffs, random soloing etc.
How do I stop it ?

Those are good exercises, but I think what I am giving you is better because I know exactly how to do them and will be able to correct you if something will go wrong! I have so many exercises like that to help you develop better technique!
There is no really a solution how to stop noodling I think just concentrate on the exercise and make yourself a schedule! So for example you can practice scales for 30 minutes without fooling around and after for 30 minutes play whatever you want!
I hope that will help!

Great! So let's start!
This technique will help you to learn all major modes in 7 days!
The easiest key to learn all the modes is G major the reason it is covering the whole neck and all the patterns are very easy to remember!
Here is a G major scale:
G - A - B - C - D - E - F#
It has 7 modes for each note of the scale!
Aeolian - Dorian - Phrygian - Lydian - Myxolydian - Ionian - Locrian
First this you have to understand that the notes will stay the same and nothing will change except of the starting note! Unless you will change the key!

So to start I would like you to learn one mode F# locrian

Learn it well up and down so you don't have to think about the notes when you are playing it!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!
Tomorrow I will post the next exercise!

Hey Alex, I have some questions regarding G locrian.

Q1. Do I have to learn the notes progression, the note names or the shape (If its the shape I've done it )

Q2. Why does it start with F# and called G locrian ?

What does this line mean

"First this you have to understand that the notes will stay the same and nothing will change except of the starting note! Unless you will change the key! "

And I thought we were learning modes of G major scale. Why did we Jumped to B Phrygian ? And there's a lil stretching involved in that. Give me another day for it please ?

Hi!
1) It is a good idea to learn the note names and combine neck learning with modes learning! I can help you with that if you want!
2) It's my bad! Too much G major for me LOL It's actually called F# locrian! Thanks for finding the typo!

What does the line mean:
If you will look at G major scale you will have 7 modes for each note of the scale
Notes of G major scale:
G - A - B - C - D - E - F#

Modes :
G Aeolian - A Dorian - B Phrygian - C Lydian - D Mixolydian - E Ionian - F# Locrian

It will stay in the same order for every major scale starting with a root!
Let's see a different example:
Here is F# locrian scale



And here is B phrygian


If you look carefully nothing changed except of the starting note!
I hope that helps!
You can have as much time as you need! Let me know if you have any questions and when you are ready for the next step!

OH Yes !!! Now I get it. Check if its right. Coreect me if its wrong.

First I have the G Major scale with these notes

G A B C D E F#

Then, If I start with A note with the rest of the notes being the same, I get A Dorian, which has the same notes as G major, but in a different order, which is

A B C D E F# G

Now, if I start with B, I get B Phrygian, which is

B C D E F# G A

Starting with C, I get C Lydian

C D E F# G A B

With D, I get D Mixolydian

D E F# G A B C

When I start with E, I get E Ionian - This is also the E Minor Scale, right ?

E F# G A B C D

And Finally, with F, I get F# Locrian

F# G A B C D E

And from what little knowledge I have, I think you interchanged Aeolian and Ionian.

I have G Ionian (aka G Major) and E Aelonian (aka E Minor)

Alex, my master, YOU ARE AMAZING, AXE-SOME. Man I never thought I'd learn something so cool, so much so fast. Thanks
