This makes no sense to me -- The second "shape" in Robs example would be a D Major scale...how is that minor in any way?

John Blume

At first I thought this was Jesus Christ himself teaching us the "modes"...This goes wayyyy back ! Great job, Rob.

Your timbre and intonation is similar to Jason Carter from Babylon 5 playing Marcus Cole 1995-1998.

This video is Great, WHY, because Rob is explaining perfectly how important intervals are and throwing in some history "which is also very important". Make sure you play these scales SLOW and try to sing/hum them also and remember,have FUN.

I'm trying to learn modes but it makes me so furious and aggravated that I want to shave my head with a spoon and then go outside and burn my guitar and then snort the ashes. Am I just dumb, untalented, or all of the above

Flush that bloody mode NOW! :@

The way that Chappers explains modes is unorthodox, as I understand it. He shows people how to play a given mode by shifting the Ionian mode on the fretboard without changing the scale pattern. The unorthodox bit is that he doesn't tell people that by doing so they are actually changing keys, in the orthodox way of thinking. (It's obvious to a chord player.)The droning of the Ionian root note is meant to disguise this.He could have said "when you want to play a mode, always play the major scale pattern (ionian mode), but simply emphasize the note that the chosen mode would start on".For a practical player there is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach. In fact it is a slick way to go. What key one is in is irrelevant, as long as the desired musical effect is achieved.Music theorists might frown on this way of thinking about modes, but it is a quick way of grabbing a new color on the tonal palette when improvising.

So here I am watching Rob Chapman because I have been going to his reviews. Low and behold he is a teacher as well as sales rep and musician. You know what...I appreciate him a lot more now. Imagine a young dude educating an old dude like me. I have always played the guitar on a completely self taught basis. That means while I can play my style nicely I just can't join in with others all that often. Unless I just pick up what they are doing by ear. I can do that but I have concluded that I need to get some training on the guitar in order to expand my playing. Meaning I want to play more often with other people. I owe you Robert! Damn, who knew? A teacher!

hey rob since your so awesome and successful now and i'm still a struggling musician just wishing i had enough money for rent let alone a guitar teacher… think maybe you can kick me back some of your dvds @ discount / free!?!?!? i have been making music now for about 12 years and i still don't know shit… it's embarrassing… i can only write music but i can't jam with others … i have tried you tubing lesson material but i only pick up bits an pieces here and there…. i guess this is a long shot but you seem like a great man and great men do great things and that brings great karma and doing something good and expecting no reward is well the most awesome thing ever… if i were to be a great man one day… i'd do it for sure! <3 best wishes from new york

Most kids learn the box Pentatonic scale first, you know the one that sits over the form#1 bar chord, how about posting the same thing using that Minor Pentatonic pattern. Personally I think this is the key every teacher is missing because every video about modes on youtube forces the student to learn a "new" pattern... they can get to that later.
