Hi,
Listen to this solo, and try to hear the mode of the music. http://soundcloud.com/jonas-tamas-guitar/guess-the-mode First step: try to locate the root (the note that sounds the most natural if you play it when the music is on). Second step: if you have the root, check the 3rd note of the scale. Is it a major 3rd or a minor 3rd? Third step: if it is a major 3rd, then check whether the scale is ionian (major), lydian or mixolydian if it is a minor 3rd, then check whether the scale is aeolian (minor), dorian or phrygian Theory refresher: Lydian: same as the major scale, but the 4th note is raised with a half step. Mixolydian: same as the major scale, but the 7th note is lowered with a half step. Dorian: same as the minor scale, but the 6th note is raised with a half step. Phrygian: same as the minor scale, but the 2th note is lowered with a half step. (the mode is not locrian, so this time we can discard it ) After step #03 you have the correct mode This post has been edited by Jonas Tamas: Feb 26 2013, 12:09 PM |
