  • This is a Lorian mode. One way to think of it is half-whole-whole-half-whole-wh­ole-whole. It's the same as playing a major scale but the tonic is the 7th, or Lorian degree. Thus it uses all the same notes as the C# major, which has 7 sharps, but the tonic of the scale is the seventh degree instead of the first.

  • Since when did Expert Village employ people with downs?

    Oh yea.... in every single one of their videos....sigh

  • he is troll )

  • that keyboard is pissing me off

  • horrible teacher

  • good.

  • @Kingpin0072001uk That's only if you're in the key of C Ionian...you can have E Ionian as well..or any key. The the names Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixoliday, Aeolian and Locrian are actually just names for the degrees of the scale...So if you you have Ionian as any key, then the second would be Dorian...and so on...Like the C to D or A to B....if you're in the key of C, then the second is D...if you're in the key of A, the second is B. If you're in Ionian then Dorian is the second

    hey, I made the same mistake of thinking about it earlier.

    "Key of c, locrian mode just means you start on B" is wrong. a c locrian scale starts from c and is built like a scale from b to b with just white keys(means c scale). do you understand now?

  • U SUK

  • wait........... what?

    Key of C, Locrian mode just means that you start on the B I thought?

    C - Ionian

    D- Dorian

    e - phrygian

    f- lydian

    g-mixolydian

    a - aeolian

    b - locrian.

    I'm so much more confused now. why hit the sharps? I thought you'd use the same notes within the key of C but just start on "B" ....... sooooo confused
