meydo diko makuha sir tanung mo. Kung alam mo na po major scale eh un minor scale or aeolian mode ang 5th mode nito with the formula 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 8. Mas maganda kung may visual para mas maintindihan mo kso nakacp lang kasi ako. Anu po level mo sir para matulungan ka namin.. Ayan mukha nakatyamba upload cp ko.

Hindi pa mataas level ko sir, kabisado ko pentatonic pero newbie sa Modes. Kasi diba ang modes ay hindi scale? ito ay feeling ng tunog. Naiintriga lang ako kung paano ko gagamitin ang Ionian, Dorian, etc.. e lahat sila puro major. Pero kung sabi mo aatras lang ako ng 3frets ibig sabihin magiiba ako ng Modes? Tama ba? Salamat in Advance!

There are 7 modes which can be derived from the major scale:
1 – Ionian
2 – Dorian
3 – Phrygian
4 – Lydian
5 – Mixolydian
6 – Aeolian
7 – Locrian
Each mode starts and stops on a different note within the major scale.
E.g.: The Dorian mode starts on the second degree of the major scale all the way up to an octave higher, the Phrygian mode starts on the third degree of the major scale up to an octave higher, the Lydian mode starts on the fourth degree of the major scale up to an octave higher and so on.
In this post we take the C major scale to explain the modes, but you can derive the 7 modes from any major scale in any key.
For example:
C Major = C D E F G A B
C Major modes are: C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian, B Locrian.
G Major = G A B C D E F#
G Major modes are: G Ionian, A Dorian, B Phrygian, C Lydian, D Mixolydian, E Aeolian, F# Locrian.
F Major = F G A Bb C D E
F Major = F Ionian, G Dorian, A Phrygian, Bb Lydian, C Mixolydian, D Aeolian, E Locrian.
Bb Major = Bb C D Eb F G A
Bb Major = Bb Ionian, C Dorian, D Phrygian, Eb Lydian, F Mixolydian, G Aeolian, A Locrian.
I challenge you to understand the basics and work your way through each mode in 7 days.
I give you 2 fingerings to play each mode, the notes, mode formula, whole/half step formula, mood and the associated chord type.

Salamat Sir RolandJun55 sa effort pero Major pa rin yan, although Aeloian & Phrygian considered as minor modes, yun lang siguro ang modes na pwede ko gamitin pag naka-encounter ako ng song na nagstart sa minor chords or sundin ko ang sinabi ni sir ice na aatras ako ng 3frets.
