For years, I was intimidated by modes. Those fancy names just made me assume that they were complicated and beyond my understanding. But if you know just a little bit of music theory, they're ridiculously easy to grasp. In this video, we'll talk about relative keys, parallel keys, the seven modes, and even modal scales. We'll dig into musical examples of Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. By the end of this guitar lesson, you will have a complete understanding of what modes are and how to use them in your guitar playing.
