Learn to Play Scales for the Jazz Guitar

On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jim Dufresne and I'm here to tell you about jazz guitar. Okay, well yeah, let's talk about scales and the different kind of scales. There's the major scale and it's modal derivatives. Twenty five hundred years ago there was a very famous Greek mathematician, scientist, Pythagoras, who isolated all these different modes. Now these names have changed over the centuries because of how information gets mixed up, but the Ionian mode is the same thing as the major scale. C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Ionian mode. Now, this Ionian mode is the same thing as playing on the keyboard from C to C. C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. And our next mode is going to go from D to D. Use all the white keys also. D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D. And then the next mode's going to be from E to E. And then the next mode's going to be from F to F.
