Hardbopjazz Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 I forgot most of my music theory. If you are in the key of G and start on C, what mode is this? Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 I want to say it is Lydian mode. Quote
jeffcrom Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Yep. Lydian is basically a major scale with a raised fourth. Quote
JSngry Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 The modes of the major scale, with the associated Roman Numeral functionary designations = (all examples use the C major scale).Ionian (I) - starts on first degree: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-CDorain (ii) - starts on second degree: D-E-F-G-A-B-C-DPhrygian (iii) - starts on third degree: E-F-G-A-B-C-D-ELydian (IV) - starts on fourth degree: F-G-A-B-C-D-E-FMixoylydian (V) - starts on fifth degree: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-GAeolian (vi) - starts on sixth degree: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-ALochrian (viiø7)- starts on seventh degree: B-C-D-E-F-G-AThat's just for traditional major scales, mind you.
