Practicing tedious scales, memorizing patterns and chord shapes
1 2 3*4 5 6 7*8
1 3 5
1 b3 5
1 3 +5
1b3 b5
For example,
DORIAN MODE:
2 3*4 5 6 7*8 1 (DEFGABCD)
1 2*3 4 5 6*7 8 (DEFGABCD)
C Major CDEFGABC
has a “d” ii CHORD: d f a, 1 b3 5
C Major
d minor
e minor
F Major
G Major
a minor
b diminished
That’s all the theory related to Modes… they sound different compared to the Major Scale. C Major (no sharps or flats) has the notes of D minor contained in it. It is a relative Key because both are the same key signature; however, C Major contains a “Mode” for each note that it contains. Example: Dorian, which is based on the second interval in C Major, D to D, DEFGABCD.
The difference between Relative Keys and Keys that are not Relative would be: C Major has no F#! D Major does, so it’s a NOT a Relative Key.
For reference, D Major has two sharps, D E F#G A B C#D. Must have the half steps between 3rd and 4th and the 7th and 8th.
From these various Modes also come more Patterns.
