Modal Scales on the Piano (Dorian, Lydian, Locrian, etc.)

[drdrtfehytf]

You are a musical master.

[zagnit]

Thanks very well put. Question though: what are some other good keys to learn these modes in. I'm sure learning and getting the feel for all the modes in every key is the eventual goal, but what are some more common keys these would be played in??

[coolchild2001]

i learned more from this video than the other 7 videos i just watched on modes...thanks alot man i appreciate it.

" A chord Based on a dorian Mode" Could you explain that a little more please? Like If I wanted to get a real nice Dorian sound I would idealy play it over??? And Etc for the other modes? IF that's not too much bother pleasee and thanks you :D

[ChungFat4eva]

is aeolian modal?

[brooklynPD]

people need to compose more pieces in Ionian mode! :D

[Antphoneigh]

people need to compose more pieces in Locrian mode!

[samisyosam]

@Antphoneigh Kind of impossible. That b5 ruins the chord motion. There's no gravity centering the one chord. It's diminished, so it wants to resolve to something else. Unless you're messing with quartertones, it's hard to find anything that makes landing on the one chord sound like a resolution. The best a person can do with locrian or any of the b5 modes is use it for a transitional part of a piece.

They don't have records because they didn't have recording equipment (just ignore me)

[jamesmcrae83]

You are a very good teacher.. Thanks!!! More lessons please!!

[Aphablueforce]

Thank you very much. Dang I messin around and I didn't know there were actually name such as these from scale I never heard of.

[DeanoPiano]

That's great but can you explain it more in other keys, so for example : D Phrygian.. urm.. with Phrygian being the third degree/note of the scale from D, so that would be a F# in Dmaj (D E F#) so to play D Phrygian would be (F# G A B C# D E F#).. is this right?

[bronislaw]

no. In the key of D the scale should actually beginn and end with D :)

[bronislaw]

You can learn the whole/halfsteps progression but there is actually a easier way to find out the tones for the scales. Since these modes are derived from a major scale it would make sense to play notes from a major scale they're derived from. In the key of C the phyrgian mode goes from E to E but its NOT C Phrygian, it's actually E Phyrgian. keep in mind that E lays a major thrid above C but the tones are exactly the same. The diffirence is in the order of half and whole steps.

[bronislaw]

So in the key of D to play D phrygian (beeing a 3rd mode of a major scale) You have to go a major third back (3 wholesteps) to B flat. the notes of B flat major are the notes of D Phrygian. D Phrygian is the 3rd mode from B Flat maj. Otherwords You can think of playing BFlat maj scale over a D Phrygian chord.

i know its a littlle bit confusing at first, but changing to this way of thinking about hte scales (thinking more of keys instead of the actual scale) helped me a lot.

[DeanoPiano]

Im gettin it now thanks a lot XD

[bronislaw]

no problem, glad i could help :) You can apply this method to other scales(most of the scales are derived either from major, or melodic minor) too, but it is a little bit simplified though, because You should be aware of so called "avoid tones"

[dls430]
