This is great - it helps visualize the differences in the formulas of the modes in respect to one another

I have not tried this system before. The simpler the better for me. Thanks for sharing this. --------------------  |

no problem!
if anyone wants to see more detail about this method of learning the major modes, I did a video lesson on it a little while back. You can find that here if you want to see these shapes played on the neck and explained that way. http://www.mattwarnockguitar.com/guitar-sc...pe-video-lesson Cheers -------------------- |

Thanks for sharing this QUOTE (Andre Nieri @ Jan 11 2013, 12:18 PM) Great, Matt. Certainly it's gonna help lots of students with difficulties in the modes study. Some of my personal students have lots of doubts when it comes to learn the major scale modes! I totally feel you man - a lot of people that I encountered are thinking that modes are some positions on the neck of the guitar, at first. |

I was mentioning earlier that you can use a similar system for the other mode families.
Here's a system I use to learn/teach the modes of the Melodic Minor Scale without learning anything new beyond the major modes, just altering one note from any major mode to produce all 7 modes of Melodic Minor. So, if you look at the major modes, all you have to do is lower one note and you get the related mode in Melodic Minor. C Major = C D E F G A B C C MM = C D Eb F G A B C So you see, if you just take a major scale fingering that you know, lower the 3rd note by one fret, you get the 1st mode of Melodic Minor. You can do this for all of the other modes, just move up the mode and move down the note you lower. D Dorian = D E F G A B C D and 2nd Mode MM = D Eb F G A B C D When you do that you come up with a naming system that helps learn the fingerings of each mode. Here's the naming system, so just take it as written and you can build any Melodic Minor scale mode by following the guide in the mode name itself. MM1 = Ionian b3 MM 2 = Dorian b2 MM3 = Phrygian b1 MM 4 = Lydian b7 MM 5 = Mixolydian b6 MM 6= Aeolain b5 MM7 = Locrian b4 Here is how this system would work when applied to all the modes in the key of C, one-octave scale shapes to make it easy to see on the neck. The first bar in each line is the mode of the major scale, the second bar of each line is the related Melodic Minor mode.   If you want to see these demonstrated, I did a video lesson on them that you can find here: http://www.mattwarnockguitar.com/modes-of-...eir-application What do you think about this system? Have you tried it out, do you like it? Share your thoughts below. -------------------- |

As a follow up to the Major and Melodic Minor mode systems and easy formula for learning all of these modes, I’ve put together the tab/notation and explanation for a similar approach to learning all the modes of the Harmonic Minor scale. The approach is the same. You take the modes of the major scale, just as we did with melodic minor, and then alter one note in each mode to change the 7 modes of major into the 7 modes of Harmonic Minor. If you want to see these modes demonstrated in a video, you can check out the lesson at this link. http://www.mattwarnockguitar.com/harmonic-...eir-application Here are the names of the Harmonic Minor Modes under this system Aeolian #7 Locrian #6 Ionian #5 Dorian #4 Phrygian #3 Lydian #2 Mixolydian #1 So by thinking about a mode you already know, such as Aeolian, and changing one note, raising the 7th by a fret, you can create a fingering for the Harmonic Minor Mode 1 without learning anything new, just altering a scale fingering you already know. Here is how this system would look when applied to A HM.   What do you think about this approach to learning Harmonic Minor Modes? Share your thoughts below. -------------------- |
