  1. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for someone to say why the Lorican mode is useful, when it’s root chord is a diminished chord.

  2. thats a false statement.

  3. You should use either accidentals OR the key signature-not both!

  4. I play both pretty evenly.

  5. are you a guitar player or a piano player?

  6. Phyrgian doesn’t have a diminished fifth. A halfd iminished seventh chord has a minor seventh. There is no such thing as a regular seventh. This video doesn’t explain how to use locrian mode at all, good luck finding one that does, people have a pretty bad understanding of modes in general.

  7. that would be the phrygian mode

  8. thanks for these videos.. i’m good at music theory when written but when i apply it in piano.. i suck big time.. don’t know why.. thanks a lot..

  9. Just watching that spongy Rhodes action makes my hands hurt. I had one and hated it.

  10. lol, that’s funny you write you key signature backwards… to each his own i guess!

  11. Help I got a flat scale, any one have a jack :)
    Actually this is the only I really just couldn’t make sense of, thanks for this vid !!!

  12. awesome! im 13 n loved it! wow im like stupid! lol. awesome! come c my channel n read it and then message me and then add me as a friend! thanks! lol gooooooooood video!!

  13. how come most guys who know advanced theory inside out can’t write a song to save their life?

  14. for a cooler sound, try locrian #2 by raising the second degree of the locrian mode. (#=sharp)

  15. Let me give you another tip to get how this scale is played, instead of thinking af half step up — think Db major scale played from the c. Think that is a more easy way to learn it.

  16. Sounds as unstable as I thought it was going to be

  17. why do you write the key signature in the backwards order?

  18. actually I understanded what he was talking about right after posting… when he talks about the altered fifth, actually he was talking about the dominant of the VII note (wich is the VI in the Major scale) and he plays a Dominant chord with F,C#(alt, since the fifth of F is actually a C) and Eb (skipping the third, an A), and then he plays the VII Bb-7 … in other words, he does V/VII(5+) and then VII

    sorry my english!!!

  19. He does play the flat 5th, the scale is correct.
    The title is a bit misleading. The Locrian mode of C is B Locrain, this is being built as though D# were the root.

  20. i think this guy is talking bullshit… i didn’t hear any fifth altered.. wtf

  21. Awesome!

  22. well is it so hard to write key signatures the right way around like everyone else in the world does?

  23. does it matter as long as it is the same in the end?

  24. uhhhh you wrote the key signatue the wrong way around!!
