[CorporationsSuck]

Can you play/give some example of songs in each of the modes?

[waltribeiro]

Do a search for modes on my website. I have a listing of examples of genre's. An example of A Mixolydian mode is Blues. An example of Aoelian mode is minor scale. An example of Phyrian is spanish i bii iii progression.

[19polizer]

so... the formula of major scale is 2-2-1-2-2-2-1

so C MAJOR SCALE is C-D-E-F-G-A-B

and if we're talking about

D MAJOR SCALE it would be D-E-F#-G-A-B-C#-D

and the list goes on...

for instance, when they say, play Dorian mode in key of C major... so i would then start with the 2nd note which is D since the next note from C is D?

and if they said play, phrygian mode in key of C it would be 3rd note which is E?

did i get it right?

[waltribeiro]

your better off saying the formula is W W H W W W H

Yep! You got it!

[bofoj]

ok im having trouble!!! how do you know when you're playing a mode of a scale if the all have the same note in them..what gives them their unique sound?....

[waltribeiro]

I just had an "oh that makes sense" moment.

@maddkat420 w= whole step h=half step, a major scale is 2 whole steps and then a half step, a separating whole step, and then another 2 whole steps and then a half step.

[maddkat420]

@maddkat420

i figured it out,  whole-tone and half-tone...

[SickBearage]

doesnt it also depend on what chord you play over the melody? sorry im new to this and thats what i heard. Like if i was to play on my guitar -C, D , E, F - but im playing a D minor chord over it, i would be in D dorian??
