  • You are a musical master.

  • 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??

  • " 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

  • is aeolian modal?

  • @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.

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

  • people need to compose more pieces in Locrian mode!

  • Great super smashing... thanks for this Dorian Dream
