Tutorial Level 2: Modes
I imagine if you're a patron of this channel then this video will be too basic to be interesting, but I figured I'd post it here anyway for consistency's sake.
And don't worry, I won't ever charge for any tutorial level videos. Enjoy!

Really, really enjoyed this! Would love to see a second tutorial video on modes where you cover some of the topics you didn't in this one (i.e. implying modes in chord progressions)!
Not a fan of Undertale or the music but I like how you shifted from Dorian to Aeolian. I loved how you went through each of the mode's flavors! I used to make a rainbow of colors associated to the moods of each mode for myself. Red - Ionian - Main character, optimistic O - Dorian - Like main char, but with a bit of tension and mystery Y - Phyrigian - Anxious and sad, cowardly G - Lydian - Chill with a dank raised 4th B - Mixolydian - Like Dorian but happier in mood. Mysterious, not sad! P - Aeolian - Royal purples, tragic and beautiful V - Locrian - Dark and intense. Thanks a ton for your hard work, the Lydian point with Mario did blow my mind. I want to pick up Harmonic and Minor modes along with other scales!
Insightful on the modes, there. ... may I ask why you don't like Undertale (or its music)?
Great stuff. And aw shiat, it's Joe Jeremiah too! Good crowd.
Excellent. This was extremely helpful. I'm recommending you to a music teacher because of this---it'll really help his students, I think.
I find modes endlessly fascinating and this was a great introduction. I loved all the examples on how the different modal effects give different qualities to their respective piece! It also helps that the two example pieces are among my favorite video game tunes. Haha
