Music Modes Explained (2 Of 4)

[area859]

PRICELESS INFO. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!

[timsmashuhoe]

actually d dorian is in c major because if u take d major and flaten the third and the 7th what do u get u get all the notes in a c major which is no sharps and flats if u do what i said and lower the 3rd and 7th in the key of d major u would have seen that there are only 2 sharps in the key of d they are f# and c# so what do u know f# and C# are the 3rd and 7th the same thing for the key of c major lower the third and 7th that is the dorian formula then u would see that your in Bb major (Bb Eb)

[waltribeiro]

@timsmashuhoe correct

[jobimdream]

wrong d to d is not a dorian scale relative to c, dorian scale relative to c is based on Bb because c is the second note in the Bb scale and dorian is the second mode. so basically a Bb major scale with emphasis on c (home). if using a 1-4-5 progression you'd use C, Eb, F everybody is so messed up on modes. even teachers!???

[waltribeiro]

@jobimdream you're comparing D dorian to C dorian. two different keys

[jobimdream]

@waltribeiro my explanation is a good one, you're convinced as everyone else that modes are the same as scales and they are not. fret24 was trying to point out that the tonal center doesn't change and that is exactly why modes are different than scales. most would think a dorian mode for the key of c would conist of the notes in a d scale, wrong again as most are twice as confused. the dorian mode of c consists of notes in the Bb scale. playing 6-2-5-1, 1-4-5...pick ur notes

[waltribeiro]

@jobimdream dorian is the 2nd scale degree of a major scale. So yes, a C dorian scale is in Bb major key, etc.

I like the tutorials and I understand the reasoning for your "chat mode" (for questions and such), but I find it distracting. If I could I would cut the bottom part of your upload off and just concentrate on your tutorial.

[usabritcouple]

@usabritcouple I could also explain that I find World News hard to concentrate on, as well. The streams being fed on the bottom of the News reports are distracting, as well.

[waltribeiro]

@usabritcouple sorry

[waltribeiro]

@usabritcouple sorry

[DietGrape]

At the very end it sounds like he said semen

[waltribeiro]

@DietGrape selective hearing

[fret2424]

Note:

The chord you start and end on defines that songs tonal center.

The lowest note played in a chord defines the nature of the chord.

Ex. If you want to play in Dorian, in the key of C major, you would start the song on the D Minor chord, and end it on the D minor chord, while playing melody in the key of C major. Even though you are playing C major, the D minor chord defines the tonal center of your song.

Try:

Play D major scale over D bass (one note), then C major, maintaining D Bass.

@fret2424

This is a help.

[waltribeiro]

@JoeClawsy thanks

[Dazzerx]

@fret2424

Wrong, You DON'T change the tonal centre to D, The tonal centre has to be C.

[waltribeiro]

@Dazzerx exactly

[liamzuid]

so if i am in c major key and i want to play ionian i need to play a lick that starts in c and ends in the octave of c am i correct?

[waltribeiro]

@liamzuid yes
