Here's a song that hammers that mode in!

Great idea! This is one of my favourite modes. I love the sound of that characteristic note.

Perhaps I can ask the next question?
 It will be slightly more difficult:We hear Bb major 7th chord playing in the background. There are two modes available on top of that chord. What two modes? Bonus question: What keys are these modes from? This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Oct 12 2011, 06:20 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hmmm....regarding Ivan's question I was thinking the answer would be B Flat Ionian, which would be in the key of B Flat major, and B Flat Lydian, which would be the key of F major, but thats just kind of a wild guess

Amaj add 9 Bmaj add 11 C# min

QUOTE (Satchstet @ Oct 14 2011, 01:14 PM) The only way you could find two major chords a whole step apart in the same key is starting from the 4th which happens to be the degree that the lydian mode is built on. So this progression could be considered a progression in the key of A lydian. The characteristic note in the lydian mode is the #4. In the case of A lydian the #4 is D#. Here is how you can visually figure that out. For the major modes.......Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian...... you always use the Ionian mode as the mode of comparison or think of it as the parent mode. So...... A Ionian= A--B--C#--D--E--F#--G#.........The 4th degree is D in this case. To convert A Ionian to A lydian we simply raise the 4th degree a half step. So.... A Lydian= A--B--C#--D#--E--F#--G#..........So the characteristic note of A lydian happens to be D#. To take this one step further you will notice that D# will appear in three different triads when you harmonize the A lydian mode. D#maj.......D# is the root B maj------D# is the 3rd G# min-----D# is the 5th So to really get a lydian sounding chord progression you could also focus on those 3 chords in conjunction with the A major chord.....notice that none of those chords are found in A ionian. Clear as mud???..... As near as I can understand it I think I agree Sachstet! having two major chords that close together can only mean that they are built on the forth and fifth degrees of the major scale since in any major scale 1,4, and 5 are major. so if we trace this back down we see that this progression comes from the E major scale. E major has 4 sharps, and A is the forth degree, and corresponds to the Lydian Mode. technically speaking the question asks what note would bring out the lydian sound over this progression and that note would have to be the sharp 4, since that defines the sound of the lydian mode.In this case it would be D#, and you would emphasize that note in order to have a truly lydian sound.....I Think! P.S. I got what you are saying in your post, except the part where you talk about taking it one step further and talking about the different triads used to harmonize the a lydian mode. I understand using B major and G Minor, since they come from the parent key of E major, but how can we use D# major? Not being critical, just curious. These question are great, and hopefully I can begin to understand modes better through trying to answer them. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

QUOTE (Satchstet @ Oct 14 2011, 09:30 PM) Sorry about that.......that was my mistake......D# would be the Root of D# diminished....... It was early when I posted that and i hadn't had my coffee yet.......  I completely understand... I was drinking mine while I was trying to figure out the answer to this question It takes me about two cups to become fully awake. D# diminished makes makes more sense because of the fact that D# is diminished within the key of E Major. I kinda figured you meant D# Diminished, but I thought I'd ask just in case there was some rule of modes I was neglecting or just plain didn't know about. Thanks for clearing it up for me!

Write down chord progressions (short ones) which are most suitable for emphasizing the Mixolydian mode! Tell us why you chose them as well
