But then.. what's the use of this xD? Why can't we just use A Ionian over a different bt... Or do I have to see this like Standard Major sclae, standard minor scale, Lydian mode, mixolydian mode, phrygian mode.. etc. like different modes? And there's a nother weird thing.. in the gp5 you gave, we have to learn the Amaj scale, but you can box 1 Ionian and box 2 Lydian (not sure) why is that?they should have the same notes in it....Or is that second box D lydian?? sorry
UPDATE: Ok, just read some Andrew lessons.... I think I got it, not sure though:
We have the Major scale (Ionian mode) and varieties are the other modes. If we want to create the second mode (Dorian right?) we can play the first box of major scale, and ply the note after the root, which is a second degree. That note will be the root and we can play the rest of our Ionian box, but with this root it's actualy a Dorian mode. We can also go to this second note (degree) and use that as the root for the SECOND Ionian box, this gives us the Dorian modea again, but now in it's own pattern. So... that's why the second Ionian box is called Dorian mode
is that right? But still, in that second box of the Ionian scale, the root is somewhere else then in the Dorian mode, rigth? Otherwise it would have the same intervals, making it Ionian, not Dorian.
Also the only "real" difference in the modes and the Ionian mode is the possition of the intervals right? So instead of TTSTTTS (2212221) it might become TSTTTST (2122212), so the formula for Minor scale would be...TSTTSTT (212122)...... WHICH is correct xD. I think I start to get this a bit ;P
You got it Kaz. Remember that the Dorian mode doesn't become the Dorian mode until you play that mode over
A DORIAN CHORD PROGRESSION. If you play any of those boxes without a chord progression you can call it whatever you want.
In the tab... the reason I labeled the boxes Dorian, Phrygian etc., is this:
The Dorian pattern has its starting note on the Low E from the Dorian root in the scale. In the case of the Tab this is "B". Same is true for all the other patterns/boxes.
Secondly, I used the names for reference purposes. So if I say...."Kaz play me the G Dorian Box" you will know what I am talking about.
I could just as easily called them "A major position 1, 2, 3 etc,..
Just because you play the Dorian PATTERN doesn't mean you played the Dorian mode.
THE CHORDS BEING SOLOED OVER DETERMINE THE MODE BEING USED.That is why we are spending so much time trying to figure out how to make the lydian mode sound lydian and not ionian by figuring out what triads/chords are found in lydian and not ionian and focusing on those.
