The 7 Modes of the Major Scale by RoseSoup
Coming off of the theme of this weeks challenge of 'Musical Instrument' I thought I would offer some useful music theory for Guitar. Modes are a way of understanding the intervals of a scale and how they relate to the basic Triads of that scale. This is very helpful for improvising over those chords. Substituting these modes also works in a similar way to chord substitution for some fun contrast. Here are movable positions of the 7 modes of the Major scale on guitar. <3 <3

@InkDrawz I'll be honest flute is not an instrument i know how to play but i hope to put up more music theory posts that will be applicable to all instruments. What i can say about applying modes to flute is that it is simply a matter of changing the inteval of the scale you start on. for example if you play the Cmajor scale C D E F G A B C then that is the first mode making it 'Ionian'. If you play D E F G A B C D then that is the second mode 'Dorian' etc. I hope that makes sense.

A little bit, thank you! I play but I'm not very good. I haven't picked it up in several weeks -^-'

ha cool! nice clean how you did the string thickness!
I know the modes , on piano it is more easy to explain with that C major mode .. and it is never the complete story, how many modes are there , you know about modes within modes like Super Locrian ! :) at that point you probably learn about Jacob Collier who tunes within a song 440hz to 432hz
and he will also introduce a step inbetween the E and F to make a point about creative freedom you know what im talking about :)
