GMC Forum _ Theory (David) _ Harmonizing Scales.

Hi there

I was studying your lesson on harmonizing scales and I have this question:

I´m playing a melody in E Aeolian and I want to harmonize that in thirds, so is it right to use G Ionian for that?

You got it right! :-)

I really need to know my theory better.

G ionian is the 3rd mode of Eaeolian. If play them both at the same time, it will be harmonized as 3rds, because it's the 3rd mode.

Sorry to butt in, david!
