Modes are one of the coolest musical concepts to learn. Once you have a grasp on modes you can start expanding your music and go well beyond the usual major and minor scales. Check me out on Patreon if you want to help me make more of these: patreon.com/michaelnew UPDATE: Quite a few people have pointed out that the Phrygian mode isn't all that uncommon in certain styles of music, and I was pretty dismissive of both the Phrygian and the Locrian modes in this video. I think I let my own musical biases show through more than they should have, and I'll try to be more careful about that in the future. So... yeah. Sorry. I learned an important lesson though: If you want people to comment on your video, just say something they don't like :)
