But I am not sure that I understand what it means: For any given major key there are seven possible modes: 1) Ionian, starting on the first note (a basic major scale); 2) Dorian, starting on the 2nd note (minor sounding); 3) Phrygian, starting on the 3rd note (minor sounding); 4) Lydian, starting on the 4th note (major sounding); 5) Mixolydian, starting on the 5th note (major sounding); 6) Aeolian, starting on the 6th note (minor sounding); 7) Locrian, starting on the 7th note (diminished sounding) How should I use this information?

But in the description was stated that a guitar should be in a drop C tune. That is why the scale is stated in standard? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I spent a little time for learning and understanding your explanation of the scales. If I understood right these modes are always the same but there are two differences : - when I begin playing the scale from 6-th string in drop tuning string - when I begin playing from the 3-d string.In this case I should shift the mode on the 2-d string in a half tone. And I have some thoughts about Lidian, Dorian and others same scales. For example C Lidian. The scale is the same E minor(F#), but the key note is C.It gives in C major a minor sound. Something like this. So I have to remember a major mode which I did and 6 modes(Dorian,Phrygian,Aeolian,Mixolydian,Lidian,Locrian) Ionian is like a base.

Now, you kind of guessed it with the modes You should first know that Ionian - natural major scale The other modes are as follows: Dorian - starts on the 2nd note of the natural major scale Phrygian - starts on the 3rd note of the natural major scale Lydian - starts on the 4th note of the natural major scale Mixolydian - starts on the 5th note of the natural major scale Aeolian - starts on the 6th note of the natural major scale Locrian - starts on the 7th note of the natural major scale So let's a try this simple exercise What is the natural major scale from which we deduce G Lydian?

I think it will go on 3-5 weeks. Well,about G scale. The natural scale is G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G Lydian starts on the 4-th note. for G scale it will be C#. So: G-A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G Than for Dorian the 2-d note should be A#. But on the web site I saw G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F-G. I would like to understand. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But my question was what natural major scale has G Lydian - so that means, G should be the 4th step for a major scale which I want you to find out - ok?

Jun 13 2013, 05:38 PM	GMC:er Posts: 307 Joined: 25-April 13 From: Russia	So, it is the 4-th note from D maj D-E-F# -G - A-B-C#-D. So G Lydian is like D maj. One difference is the key note. It seems a puzzle. I see that in music everything is a correlation and a causation. It is interesting.

It doesn't allow to record video. But it will be all right soon when I get my pod from the service. I tried to do my homework as good as I can. I think we can go further.

Jun 16 2013, 09:14 AM	GMC:er Posts: 307 Joined: 25-April 13 From: Russia	Hi,Cosmin. You showed a very interesting way to understand scales. I got it. The base scale is C maj. The 4-th note is F(Lydian) it forms G maj G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G The 4-th note from G maj is C,so Lydian G forms Dmaj D-E-F#-G-A-B-C#-D Lydian D forms Amaj A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G#-A If I think right Lydian maj scale forms 5-th note maj scale from key note. For example C maj,5-th note is G,so C Lydian maj forms Gmaj. Then I can continue. 5-th note from A is E.So A Lydian forms E maj. 4-th note from A is D.So Emaj : E-F#-G#-A-B-C#-D#-E. 5-th note from E is B 4-th note is A. So E Lydian forms B maj : B-C#-D#-E-F#-G#-A#-B There are all maj scales here. Is this right? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
