Modes of the major scale Pt2.

In the first video I showed you all the modes from
one scale (C major), where all the modes shared the same notes, each one
starting from a different note. Here I’ll do something different: all my
modes will start from the same note (C). Of course all these modes will
belong to different major keys. This allows me to understand the
structure of the modes, comparing them in a key (C) where it easier to
calculate intervals. This is called the ‘parallel approach’.

C Ionian

C D E F G A B

C Dorian

C D Eb F G A Bb

C Phrygian

C Db Eb F G Ab Bb

C Lydian

C D E F# G A B

C Mixolydian

C D E F G A Bb

C Aeolian

And, as usual, this is the nice printable PDF for you to hang on the
wall:
