When I used to use this pack with students Marquinhos Jersey , I provided them with a CD which contained a backing track for each of the modes. This enabled them to practive getting the sounds and shapes under their fingers. In this version you will be provided with the harmonised scale for each mode, and from this you can construct your own grooves and backing tracks to do the same thing. I am assuming that you know, or can easily work out the names of the notes on the neck so the scale maps you will be presented are not anchored in any one place on the neck. Once you know where the root note is for each scale you can then move that note to suit whatever scale you want to play. Please note that some of the modes are for different scales, but this is only so that you don't learn everything in C, but do try to get used to using other root notes.
The Ionian Mode As we have already discussed, the Ionian mode is the major scale Marco Verratti Jersey , so anything that you know about the major scale, you know about the Ionian mode. We have looked at the structure of the scale, which hopefully was familiar, and the next thing we聮ll consider is what chords you can build on the major scale. I am going to assume that this is something you know and that it won聮t come as a surprise that if we take the C Ionian scale, and build 7th chords on each scale degree, we will get the following chords
C Major 7 D Minor 7 E Minor 7 F Major 7 G Dominant 7 A Minor 7 B Minor 7 flat 5
These chords are constructed from the notes contained within the C Ionian scale Lucas Moura Jersey , so the C Ionian will fit over any of these chords. Now, this is technically true, but as you will know from your playing, some notes work better than others, and for some people聮s ears. You can also play the arpeggios of these chords.
The Dorian Mode As you will know from the previous discussion of theory, C Dorian differs from C Ionian by having the third and seventh of the scale flattened Lucas Jersey , thus, C Dorian consists of:
C D Eb F G A Bb
The seventh chords built upon these notes are as follows;
C Minor 7 D Mionr 7 Eb Major 7 F Dominant 7 G Minor 7 A Minor 7 flat 5 Bb Minor 7
To play something a little more familiar you can also use the C Minor pentatonic as this is using notes which are in the C Dorian scale, namely,
The Phrygian Mode You can use the previous theoretical discussion to work out how the G Phrygian differs from G Ionian. Just to recap, G Ionian consists of the notes G, A, B Kylian Mbappe Jersey , C, D, E, and F#. The Phrygian mode differs from the Ionian by the second, third, sixth Kevin Trapp Jersey , and seventh degrees of the Ionian scale being flattened. So, G Phrygian consists of:
G Ab Bb C D Eb F
The seventh chords built upon these notes are as follows:
G Minor 7 Ab Major 7 Bb Dominant 7 C Minor 7 D Minor 7 flat 5 Eb Major 7 F Minor 7
Along with these you can interweave the arpeggios and the G Minor pentatonic is made up of notes from the G Phrygian scale, so you can use that too.
The Lydian Mode You should be able to work out how G Lydian will differ from G Ionian. Remember that the Lydian has a 4th degree which is sharpened, and the 4th degree of G Ionian is C, thus, G Lydian consists of the following notes.
G A B C# D E F#
The seventh chords built upon this scale are:
G Major 7 A Dominant 7 B Minor 7 C# Minor 7 flat 5 D Major 7 E Minor 7 F# Minor 7
You can also use the various arpeggios and the G Major pentatonic in this situation.
The Mixolydian Mode You should be able to work out how G Mixolydian will differ from G Ionian. Remember that the Mixolydian has a 7th degree which is flattened Julian Draxler Jersey , and the 7th degree of G Ionian is F#, thus, G Mixolydian consists of the following notes.
G A B C D E F
The seventh chords built upon this scale are:
G Dominant 7 A Minor 7 B Minor 7 flat 5 C Major 7 D Minor 7 E Minor 7 F Major 7
You can also use the various arpeggios and the G Major pentatonic in this situation.
The Aeolian Mode You should be able to work out how B Aeolian will differ from B Ionian. Remember that the Aeolian has third, sixth and 7th degrees which are flattened, and the third, sixth and 7th degrees of B Ionian are D# Jean-Kevin Augustin Jersey , G#, and A# thus, B Aeolian consists of the following notes.
