That's very interesting, thanks for sharing, I kinda know what modes are but I don't understand how to use them.
For instance, just using the white keys on piano (C major / A minor) I can't see how to get different feelings or musical essences/flavours by starting from a different note, maybe it's just my ears. I do find it fascinating though, Gambale is immense. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

It all depends on what the bass note or the chord is; if you have a piano, play and hold a low C note. While doing that, play any white key. You will be playing C Ionian. If you play and hold a low B note, and then start hitting any white key on the piano, you'd be playing B Locrian. But to really hear the difference between each of those, you should play and hold one note (i.e. A) and try playing different modes in A (i.e. A lydian, A Dorian etc.) That's when you will listen how different modes are, and what kind of "mood" they give. I hope I helped Thanks Steve, one day there will be a light bulb moment hopefully This post has been edited by Phil66: Oct 9 2021, 07:43 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I guess it's just diferent shades, If u have a simple C going on the background and play Eb then E, your will get two distincts shades of C. Every note as its own flavour against a Root. Thanks, I think I need to experiment in order to understand what you're saying Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
