G major = G A B C D E F# => Gmaj - Amin - Bmin - Cmaj - Dmaj - Emin - F#dim That I knew but I didn't realise how you could remember it easily. But I've realised how you get the chords I think You do kind of 1 3 5 for everyone starting with the letter you want. So G skip one B skip one D is G Major Then A skip one C skip one E is Amin Keep doing this and you get GBD - G Major ACE - A Minor BDF# - B Minor CEG - C Major DF#A - D Major EGB - E Minor F#AC - F# Diminished Am I correct with this? I'm a bit of an idiot but I'm happy if this is correct and I've just realised it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But we remember it by the simple formula : I-------II----III-----IV------ V------VI-------VII - scale degrees major minor minor major major minor diminished - quality of chords You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can use the formula on ANY major scale since they are all constructed in the same way.Chord type order in relation to scales degree will always stay the same!

Oct 30 2008, 11:50 AM	GMC:er Posts: 693 Joined: 14-June 07 From: Sweden	Jackpot now add one third more. CEGB = Cmaj7 DFAC = Dmin7 EGBD = Emin7 FACE = Fmaj7 GBDF = G dominant 7 ACEG = Amin7 BDFA = Bmin7 -5 Now, another interesting thing to note is that Cmaj7 = C major + E minor triads Dmin7 = Dminor + F major triads Emin7 = E minor + G major triads etc. This goes up to 13th chords. Often you'll skip the 11th (4th) because it's the Sus4 tone and combined with a third it sounds awful, like a twig in the bicycle wheel... My advice is to practise the triads (like CEG) throughout all of the modes, all keys, Caged, 3nps patterns. This because when you know them, you can stack them up to create different arpeggios. Like Amin triad + a min an octave up = 5 string sweep hehe. Amin + Amin an octave up, slide to next octave and do A min again and you have a massive sweep hehe... hehe.. heh.. he.. hrm.. Great thing to practise, I do it a lot but I'm a slow learner... so it takes a lot of time. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think now I just need to work on a bit of this and maybe record some progressions and jam with them. I just want to know a bit more of what I'm doing as for these collabs that I do I go all for melody. I hear it in my head and I tab it out. I don't know the notes I can play so maybe in places I could pick a slightly better note You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I would like to see how many will give the correct answer. Teachers don't help please, I would like to see some answers from guys that are learning about modes.

But how does one use it efficiently? Meaning this. Say I'm a guitar player and someone says play a I-III-VI in Gb. I know what the answer is. But it'll take me about 10 minutes to come up with it. First I gotta find paper, then a pencil, then sit down.... ok, carry the one.... Do you more experienced players have all of this memorized?

You just need to know the notes of the Major scale and the pattern so with 3 note chords you have I-III-VI which is Major, Minor, Minor. So C Major has no accidentals therefore you play C Major, E Minor and A Minor. Just remember what accidentals there are in each Major scale and voila.
