Bajoquinto Diagrams

Remember: I make all of my diagrams from the Player's Perspective:

How you would look down at your fretboard and see the shapes.

There's no reason to make you flip the shapes around in your head, and memorize them in orientations other than what you see when you look down at your instrument!

The Modes of the Major Scale -Theory Info

These scale shapes will help you learn exactly what you can play over specific chords in a key or in a progression! Your adornos will harmonize super well over the right chords and you'll sound like a pro.

Make sure you know your major scales well, and read all the info! This is not a beginner friendly topic.

I list them here in order of the Diatonic Chords of a Major Key, but there are many ways we can go about learning these Mode Shapes. If you like classic songs with mostly major chords, learn the Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian first.

If you like the newer tumbado/belico stuff with more Minor Chords, learn the Aeolian, Dorian and Phrygian shapes.

You should still learn them all regardless though!
