Very good indeed. Perhaps add some info spoken about to the chart so visual and verbal reinforce each other. e.g. the names of the chords could be added to the chart and maybe a line below with only the notes of the chords. I drew it out as John spoke.
Overall the best and most concise explanation of modes that I personally have heard/seen.

Thanks, Tony. I wanted people to write it down as you have done. Interactivity. I'm not going to do ALL the work for you!

I believe getting involved and writing the patterns out for yourself will help you assimilate and really get to understand the concepts.

But I will monitor comments and take them on board for future videos. :)

Maestro, one of the best explanations for modes on the net, especially the chart in part 1 showing the triads of the scale note degree and the applicable mode. Its still a lot to really understand but I gather that one can play the respective mode if the chord progression starts on the relative note triad of the scale for the entire song or while just holding on to the chord and then changing to the next relative chord mode , all the while staying in the given key , just a question can notes from the mode not belonging to the triad be played as harmony when played as a lead line against that chord , or does one only play notes within that passing chords triad
