And he's back! Thank you for finally posting something for your "older" subscribers, who've now moved on to advanced-intermediate levels thanks to your earlier videos. I respect that your USP is catering to beginners without obfuscating them with unnecessary jargon, but I do hope you find a way to intelligently segregate your audiences and help us "older" guys continue to grow to advanced levels.

My unprofessional advice: an indicator/marker at the start of the video to manage expectations of audiences in a way that doesn't negatively affect fan-folllowing.

Easier said than done, I know (LOL)

Thanks for the great lesson David.

Cheers!

What a ridiculously stunning concept!!! Not every good musician is a good teacher. And every good teacher might not be that great a player. David is one guy who is a fab musician and an equally incredible educator. I often get asked about my fav instructors on youtube and elsewhere, and David's name is always on top. Great lesson mate!

I've been beating the pentatonic scale and blues scale to death for a lot of years, trying to select the best notes to make it sound better (at least to me). A few years ago I added the dominant seventh scale and the Lydian dominant scale into the mix to make things more interesting. Seemed to make it easier to make my playing sound more bluesy without having to keep bending notes all the time. I know the major scale and modes but, apparently, didn't give them enough of a chance to do them justice when applied to the blues. Your playing sounds great and is miles above mine so I'm going back to the major scale to see what I can do with it. Thanks very much for this video. Now I've got a new project. I see some people here saying that what you're doing is more like jazz. That works fine for me as I'm getting more drawn into that direction anyway.

My Free Blues Guitar Lessons

Chord tone lessons are gold. So many beginners get caught cycling endlessly through the pentatonic and wonder why they're stuck. Good job on the lesson, and so important to learn. You're theory knowledge can be limited, but if you can hit chord tones and have good vibrato you'll sound great.

After years im still always suprised how you explain the same fundamental ideas from fresh, abstract and creative angles. I always learn at least one thing from these videos, if not a full blown epiphany.

xwinglover

Same Mike. Truly great quality content.

Dan Logan

This is a superb lesson. It is actually crafted in a way to get you to use these modes, train your ear and get your fingers going all at the same time. Don't give up folks, I am still sorting all of this out but weaving in my old bad habits with some licks and adding this stuff all at the same time should get me some more work!

Larry Heller

Awesome awesome awesome lesson! I've been playing acoustic fingerstyle for a couple of decades altogether, and I just started learning to solo (on my strato electric) about 6 months ago. I quickly mastered the 5 pentatonic shapes and understan the theory of scales and chords to some extent, but this lesson just opened up a whole new way of thinking about soloing to me! Thank you! And you managed to do it without blowing a lot of extra gas on wasted words! Thanks again - I am now a subscriber to your channel and you are already one of my favorite youtube guitar teachers!

Donald Mousseau

Brilliant video! I have some really amazing guitar playing friends that disagree with me on this way of thinking, but I think this is the easiest way to understand how to play modes over any chord in any position. Learn mode shapes and then just know what shape you want to play in whatever position you're in. Thanks for this!

Velton Meade

Well done and great explanations. I haven't run through my 7 mode types in years since I studied music at college. Gosh, can't remember the last time that I even heard "Mixolydian", lol. It's a good plan to practice all 7 modes, in my opinion. Thanks!

OMG!!! THANK YOU!! I'm a self taught guitarist since 1970- have learned by ear,note for note soloes by slowing 33rpm records to 16 rpm (half speed) songs like Lazy (Deep Purple)to Ramblin Man (Allman Bros.)when I was 14 years old.I've known all the "modes" for decades, and understood their basic place in the scale, but this "blues/ jazz" understanding has always eluded me..UNTIL NOW!! Thank You soooo Much!!.

BC Ross

Absolutely inspirational! - I will have to keep viewing this to get the most out of it since on first viewing, much of it went past me before I could take it all in - even though I am conversant with some of the ideas! Looking forward to viewing more of David's lessons on YouTube.

Tom Horton

Hey David your videos are putting a lot of what I was missing into making sense thanks for these and other great videos

Mike Wallner

Out of all your vids, this is the one I keep coming back to. Makes a lot of sense and gets me out of my comfort zone (the box) which I always need. They’re my 3 favorite modes too.

Dude, you are such a good teacher, some people put so much work on editing (Paul,still good tho) but yours is way clearer, thank you so much, you are helping me a lot to brake through pentatonics!

TheBentwrist

5y↑3

Very good point you make at the end. I have given up trying to explain to people that technique is essential because then you don't have to think about what you're playing. At fast speeds particularly, it's impossible to think about the next note, and the next and the next and so on. The learning of techniques (scales etc) allows you to do this until in the end there is no technique.

scottyalto

Wow. I have trouble getting newer students to break boxes and stray from minor pentatonics. Especially in a blues format. Great lesson to help a beginner move to an intermediate level.

Aleksandar Binev

Oh my god ! It works like a charm. I cannot believe it. It is very simple when you think about it. Great job, man 👏

Not so long ago I would have been totally lost by the second minute but now it all made real sense. Why? Because I've focused all my internet learning on David Wallimann's awesome lessons. They overlap and repeat the message in many different ways, so it just creeps into your head and your playing. If you miss something, don't worry, you'll pick it up later. I was convinced to buy some of his lessons, and my progress since has been even faster. He is the guitar teaching king!

Andrew Miller

Really good lessons. I like the focus on expressing oneself rather than imitating someone else.

leftymadrid

5y↑2

Many years ago I started playing guitar by ear. At an early age I looked at guitars and the strings and frets caught my attention mostly. After fiddling with a cheap old guitar I started to see diagrams shapes of all different sorts on the neck and every fret space meant opportunity to discover new notes, melodies, chords which I can't even name, but sounded pleasing to MY ear. I'm a lefty so I just used a right handed guitar turning it over...
I was alone in this incredible journey to playing guitar, no one to teach me, a quiet introvert. I wanted to express myself with those 6 strings on that guitar neck. I sat for many hours in the bathroom sitting on the throne of contemplation (toilet). It just sounded better in there to me. After 3-years of that, I got an electric guitar, played that WITHOUT an amp, for two years, then finally had enough to purchase a small cheap amp and found an entire new world of possibility open up for me...
Strangely enough, I can actually play pretty well now, and definitely have my own style...
I can hear something and play it. But don't ask me what chords to use...
So as I watch, and hear you speak about the scales, with the chords you are showing it seems that my ears recognize what you are playing and the form/shape to play from, but I do not understand the music language you use! I know I should have studied music, theory, and to be able to read music, but I never did. I was terrified that it would change my feeling and thinking on how I perceived music and get a lazy ear, and now when I work with other musicians obviously I can not even begin to explain a piece of music, which makes me feel even more strange!
I just pass the whole recording (entire song/all parts) to them so THEY can call out notes, chords if needed etc...
Your channel is incredible, and very helpful to all of us who love playing the guitar, I don't catch the lingo you speak (theory), but as soon as I hear the notes you play, I'm in the game, thank God for these ears of mine!!
Though I envy people who can understand theory, and can read music, and speak the language of music... :-) :-)

David Wallimann

5y↑2

Thank you for that man!! I can COMPLETELY relate to your message. I too have been an ear player for the longest time and also was afraid that if I understood all the theory it would take away from that magic musical experience.
I finally took the plunge and in the end it only enhanced my love for music.
Thank you for the nice comments, it means a lot!

Winterland Grateful Dead Tribute

Really great information and ideas David, thank you! If I could make one request/suggestion, when you are presenting a new mode or scale, please play a little slower so it's easier to catch without having to slow the video down. Small critique and does not detract from what an excellent lesson you've presented. Thanks!

ROOGUITAR

Je regarde régulièrement ta chaine David. Vraiment Bravo! Tout est super solide et concis!

Ernie Johnson

This lesson crystalized something I was trying to do years ago but couldn't stay with the logic long enough to see it through. I'm so stoked I happened upon this video. It now makes great sense, being able to stay in one section of the fretboard and get such varietal flavor. So tasty. Question..... while you're on the IV chord (aeolian), can you substitute regular minor pentatonic blues?

cacophony

The way I handle 7th blues is to mix minor blues ,major pentatonic, mixlydian in the 1 4 5. Whole tone scale, Lydian dominant on the first chord. Then maybe some 7th appegios. Great fun changing it up on each cycle.

Clear Adventure

Thank God I can already play and know my 7 modes, because the theory I don't get at all. I need a teacher that just says "Cool, just add these two notes and that's the deal". Keep rocking everyone! 🤘

David, sincere thanks for opening some doors. It's easy to be overwhelmed trying to combine theory with language and application but you put the concept over with great clarity.

Paul Bush

The first tutorial that taught at the right speed to understand, clearly explained good video thanks and yes train your fingers to do the shapes put them in different musicsl circumstances and let them play make mistakes ,they always sound good

SRHmusic

5y↑3

Good lesson. Question/comment: It might be easier to think in terms of each dominant chord being a V7 of some parent scale, e.g. A7 is the V7 chord of D major. While D maj. does give us E Dorian notes to play over A7, it seems more direct (to me) to think in terms of playing D major notes over the A7.

So instead of thinking/memorizing "play E Dorian over A7 and play E minor over D7," we can just think of playing the parent major scale of whatever dominant 7 chord we're on, so we have D maj / A mixo. over A7 and G maj / D mixo. over D7. (The dominant 7 arpeggios are useful, too, to know some target notes out of these scales.)
Cheers.

J.B. Phillips

Thank you! This is more understanding since A7 Mixolydian is in key of D Major

freddy ferrillo

Very well articulated! Great vid David.

Liam Abrams

this is one of the best videos I've seen to help simplify the concept of modes over chords. Good stuff

Klaus anti theist Bolvig

As a experienced guitarist like what I see. I now all this, but I will always suck what can bring me further. Right now I’m back at the django style, but I often start playing blues. And I like the major scale f# to A bend it to C# etc . So this warning my fingers. I also play the Greek Zorba, because as a gradient student I often do forget to just freak out. Thank you 🎸😊

Mike Max

Thank you for a great explanation of this. It’s very helpful. 👍🏻

Just doubling back to make sure I’ve internalized the lesson.

Is it correct to say that the following is true:

Solo using a ii Dorian over a I7 (E Dorian over A7), ii Aeolian over IV7 (E Aeolian over D7), and V mixolydian over the V?

2020 Dtrain

Great...thanks.. just knowing basic patterns gives you a handful of correct notes to play, then as you begin to understand Music theory, you can figure out why they work. These small tips make great players...good lesson..TW@2020Dtrain

VAIZMAN ITAY

Great lesson and way of thinking! I was a bit confused about all the modes thing so I wrote them all in front of me while watching the lesson and now everything makes sense! Thank you so much!

Michael Dawson

So you take E Min Pent. and add each note of the three modes to it as you switch chords . You keep E as the root as to have as a starting point. It's not the typical way you would use modes, but it would work the same way, however you would still need to work out all three positions and get use to adding them in on the changes. I have come up with similar ways myself. Basically it's scale weaving or note weaving, combining.

Mark Hammer

5y↑18

You blew my mind. I am going to play so much better once I put this to use. It makes sense.

Frank James

lol....what yu smoking ?

Joshua Riffkin

Interesting(ish) observation: did anyone else notice that the three modes share the 5 notes that make up the B-minor Pentatonic? (In this video they all use shape-3 of the Bmin Pent scale and add 2 different notes each)
I dno, I think that’s pretty cool considering it’s an A7 Blues

Joshua Riffkin

The shape 3 being
e: 12-14
B: 12-15
G: 11-14
D: 12-14
A: 12-14
E: 12-14

(Apologies for the shoddy attempt at an ad-lib in-comment tab)

Don McCown

Good stuff! Really makes me think...kind of made my head spin but great stuff. Pretty deep for me but explained well enough I could keep up...very nicely done.

Mark Egan

5y↑2

Lightbulb moment! Thanks David, you’ve just clarified mode application for me. Awesome

Dick Dastardly

Each mode starts on a different scale degree of the major scale. Mixolydian starts on the 5th note. In the key of A the notes are;
A, B, C#,D, E, F#,G#. The distance between notes is important also. The half steps are between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 every where else is a whole step. The 5th of A is E that's why he's at the 12th fret. In the mixolydian mode the half steps are between the 3rd & 4th and the 6th & 7th so wind up with
E F# G# A B C# D the same notes but with different tonal Qualities. I hope you are still awake and your not wrong this shit ain't for everyone.

Dick Dastardly

A to B is a whole step. So there is only one half step in A major. C# to D

Gill Grylls

Great video. I do this a lot. I play Samba Pa Ti from Santana very different than most do because I like to find voicings across the board and so my own thing. If it sounds the same then I don’t care when someone says that’s not how it’s played. Lol

Stefano Cesarini

A MA ZI NG LESSON !! Thank you forever man !!This is one of the greatest lesson ever !!!

CryptoSkywalker

Thanks. So simple, but so genius. It's just a really good way to think about the box you're in, and make it easy to move around it, and in and out of it.

You have a lot of good tips, but this is the most helpful idea I've come across on your channel, because it addresses perfectly something that has driving me crazy. I've struggled coming up with a simple way to think about changing Modes over chord changes, without the changes sounding generic. This idea fits the way my mind works perfectly. You can target the triad, but still have all your runs and extensions (and the rest of the fretboard, for that matter) at your finger tips. Change Modes effortlessly, but with an anchor to tie it all together.

I'll be five times better a week from now, thanks to this tip. I'm not even kidding. I'll get further in a week than I would have in six months, probably. I'm already pretty good, but my licks were getting pretty disgustingly stale to my ears. I know this will really break the back of a plateau I've been in for the last untold months.

Haven Mcinerney

wow - yeah man - way cool - I don't have my guitar w me at the moment (I travel a lot for my job and don't take a guitar with me but i do watch videos like this just to kind of keep learning stuff - definitely saved this to my favorites and can't wait to get back home and check it out w guitar in hand!!

Jason Crump

5y↑1

Love the way you teach man. Appreciate ya.

Stephen Bowyer

This is how I explain this to myself. If I play the A&-D7-E7 progression, AND I want to solo over each chord, I can use the a minor pentatonic over the whole shooting match, BUT, if I want to solo using mixolydian over this progression (or others), I would need to play the changes by using the A mixolydian FORM that pertains at the 12th fret position, and that is what is shown in the PDF. E is 6th string rooted, D is 4th string rooted, and A is 5th string rooted, and if I want to play the patterns that correspond to A mixolydian at the twelfth fret, that is all I need to know to play and soloover this progression. David's method keeps one in a concise 5 fret area at the twelfth fret for all three chords. (the chords themselves simply are jumped up from open position at fret 0 to fret 12) please correct me if I am wrong.

Stephen Bowyer

Adding this: BUT - if I choose not to play from the red roots marked on the PDF, but instead solo over each chord starting at the 12th fret, sixth string E root in each instance, one will have achieved the effect of using two minor scales (dorian and Aeolian in addition to the mixolydian, resulting in solos which mix minor and major elements instead of a consistent E mixolydian sound throughout. This is a sound experiment, and it would be interesting to hear how the two approaches blend and contrast to the ear.

phallystorm

it's good to mix it up. Great tutorial.Sometimes I try minor 3rd s, and diminished, and you just have to experiment LOL

crazy how it all fits together, great lesson, gotta try this, thx bro

Old Guard

Thanks for the tips..when you run the scales showing the 'fit' into the 1-4-5 it sounds like fusion-jazz..kinda Jeff Beck..the beauty is, one can take powerful triads in those scales, stop em up just right, and get nice blues riffs for sure without being fusion-jazz sounding. I like to do a BB riff in middle of that section and trail it into just one or two notes of the scales you show. Thanks

Woah this is actually pretty cool. I feel Ive come across this but haven't really formulated it completely. Great lesson.

E Dorian = B Minor = D Major 👍 just think the entire fretboard are major scales and you’re all set. Find the key notes for chord changes as the video says, use the caged system if you want, but in the end, we learn to forget it all and go back to square one. Everything is a major scale. 🤟

Hi David I love what you do ,transposing A mixolydian to E dorian ,or D mixolydian to E aolian .and its sounds good and the music fits , but does it sound like the blues ?
Not so sure .
However i did understand the concept and I thank you for explaining this to us .
For the ones that don't get it .Hes dropping down from A to E , note wise A , G ,F#,E . Mode wise mixolydian, lydian ,phrygian, dorian.As in the first example.
So dropping down four notes hes dropping down four modes in order.
Thanks again , love your channel and i subscribed.
