The Modes of the MAJOR SCALE

Description:

The modes are effectively 'inversions' of the major scale. They are seven scales that use the same sequence of tones and semitones but each one treats a different note in that sequence as the tonic note, and, most usefully for us, each of these seven modes gives a different flavour or mood to the music. 0:00 Introduction 1:32 Ionian 3:22 Dorian 6:31 Phrygian 9:02 Lydian 10:42 Sponsor 11:37 Mixolydian 13:57 Aeolian 15:42 Locrian 19:53 Diatonic scale 20:32 Guess the mode!
