Learn how to play and use all the Greek modes in practice, in 3 different applications on the guitar. Improvisation course: http://www.descomplicandoamusica.com/... This lesson is divided into 3 parts. In the first part, we show the basic concept: Greek modes are 7 different ways of playing the major scale. Right after, we show all the drawings (shapes) of each mode: Ionian/Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian/Aeolian and Locrian. The scales and tabs are displayed on the screen, starting from the 5th string and the 6th string, totaling 14 different shapes. Also in the first part, we show the first application and usefulness of the modes: allowing complete control of the guitar neck. In the second part of the video, we show how to improvise on the guitar using Greek modes in changes of tonality. When a song changes tone, the ideal is to continue playing in the same region of the guitar neck, so that your solo has more fluidity. To do this, it is essential that you master all the modes and use the idea of chromaticism to switch from one mode to another. In the third part of the video, we show how to apply the Greek modes in modal and tonal contexts, forcing a modal sound on top of chords belonging to tonal songs. This technique is very interesting for adding outside notes to your solo or improvisation. The examples are shown in jazz and rock. By learning and studying this lesson thoroughly, you will be able to practice soloing in any song. By understanding the origin of the modes and practicing the exercises, you will open your mind to applying scales. This feature of the modes is essential for those who want to learn how to study guitar, acoustic guitar or bass. When starting out in the world of guitar scales, the Greek modes are one of the first things you need to learn.
