Identifying The Triads Within Each Major Pentatonic Shape

Hello Cherries! Modes starting on the same root note are called parallel modes. Instead of using the same seven notes and shifting the starting point, parallel modes alter specific intervals against a standard major scale to create distinct moods. Learning them this way is highly recommended to build ear-training and muscle memory. In this video I play a 3 NPS "Note Per String" Pattern of the G Major Scale. Then I'll take the 2nd note "A" but instead of playing A as the 2nd note of the G Major Scale, I'll shift back to the G instead using the same formula of notes that the A had but now its starting on G. This gives you a whole different sound "G Dorian." This puts you in the key of F because G is the second note of F, like A is the 2nd note of G. This is one of the most confusing, misunderstood topics in music but there's a reason for that. Half of musicians think it's stupid, the other half believe that it's the most important area of music. Every song you've ever heard is in a mode, what's your favorite? Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody.
