Description: ►► FREE: Want to finally understand what the modes are, plus exactly how and where you can use them? Download my Ultimate Guide To The Modes → becomeabassist.com/how-to-hear-the-modes Imagine this: You’re at a jam session and a guitarist starts noodling away (that shouldn’t be hard to imagine…) and asks you to join in with what they’re doing. But what you’re hearing doesn’t sound like it’s in a major key, but it ALSO doesn’t sound like a straight-up minor key either. You realize they’re playing something using one of the modes - but how are you supposed to recognize it, know what to play, and then jump in without a moment’s hesitation? That’s something that a student of mine asked not so long ago; he wanted to know how to hear the modes, recognize them instantly and be able to jump in and play along. This is a really great question because if you play for long enough, you’re bound to run into this kind of situation; either playing with others or even just playing along with songs by yourself. It may be tempting to think that listening to a ton of modal songs or just playing the modes themselves and listening to them really intently will help you hear the modes. And that’s sort of true, but in this video, you’ll learn: ► The ‘shortcut’ to internalizing the sound of the modes (Hint: it’s more than just listening passively) ► The super simple 3-step process you can use to learn the sound of the modes ► Specific things to listen for in each of the modes that ‘gives them away’ I’m NOT saying don’t listen to modal songs in order to help you learn the sound of the modes - you should absolutely do that. In fact, I’ve put 10 links in the pinned comment of this video for you to check out and test how well you know the sounds of these modes. But doing what I suggest in the video will make the whole process of recognizing the modes SO much quicker. Of course if you don’t know what the modes are yet, or even if they still confuse you a little bit, then this video might not make a huge amount of sense YET. But if you download my free Ultimate Guide To The Modes, you’ll get the jargon-free, confusion-busting system you can use to finally stop struggling with the modes.
