Modes

2010-01-12T21:33:00.000-08:00

CHURCH MODES
The entire major scale contains 7 smaller scales, known as the CHURCH MODES. Each mode starts on a different degree, 1 through 7. Each mode has a specific name, such as Ionian or Aeolian. Each mode is also a specific type of scale, such as major or minor.

The Ionian mode is the PURE MAJOR scale, because it starts on the first degree. As mentioned earlier the first degree indicates the starting point or home base of a song that is in a major key. The Aeolian mode is the PURE MINOR scale, because it starts on the sixth degree. The sixth degree is the starting point or home base for a song that's in a minor key.
There are countless possible ways to play each of the modes. In most cases, any scale that starts at the first degree, of the entire major scale and travels through the degrees to the next first degree, is an Ionian mode. Any scale that starts at the second degree and travels through the degrees to the next second degree, is a Dorian mode. Any scale that starts at the third degree and travels through the degrees to the next third degree, is a Phrygian mode and so on.
In the diagram below, look for a few possible ways to play the Ionian mode. Three possibilities of the Ionian mode, have boxes around them.

The Ionian mode is a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1. The Dorian mode is a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2. The Phrygian mode is a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3 and so on.

Key Transposition

2010-01-12T21:14:00.000-08:00

The entire major scale pattern is moveable to anywhere on the guitar fretboard, but only as a whole. The placement of the entire major scale on the fretboard, can identify the KEY NAME of the scale Every scale has two key names, MAJOR or MINOR. The first degree (number 1) indicates the major key. The sixth degree (number 6) indicates the minor key.

This is the entire "E" major scale.

This is also the entire "C#" minor scale.

To change keys from "E" major to "F" major, simply move all the degrees up one fret so that the first degree is on "F". In the diagram below, notice that the first degree is now on the "F" note, the second degree is on "G", the third on "A" and so on. As a result the scale is now in the key of "F" major.

This is the entire major scale in the key of "F" major.

This is also the entire "D" minor scale.

There a total of twelve keys (E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, and D#).

Major Scale

The diagram below places the number pattern, of the entire major scale (in black), with the set notes, of the guitar fretboard (in red). As a result the entire major scale, is now in the key of "E" major. This is because the first degree of the major scale, is on the "E" note, If the major scale started on any other note, the key would become the name of the note that first degree is on.

The numbers indicate the entire movable major scale pattern.
The letters indicate the permanent note-names of the frets.
The placement of the entire major scale starts on the "E" note, therefore this an "E" major scale.

Notice that all the number ones are on the "E" note, all the twos are on the "F#" note and so on.
To play a scale in the key of "G#," place the entire major scale pattern, starting with the first degree, on the "G#" fret. The second degree will naturally fall on "A#," the third on "C," and so forth.

This is the entire major scale in the key of G# major

The diagram, shows an illustration of the infinite length guitar fretboard, with the numbers 1 through 7 on it. Notice that the numbers count from 1 to 7 and then repeat.

The number 1 is the FIRST DEGREE or ROOT. The number 2 is the SECOND DEGREE. Number three is the third degree and so on.

Notice that the distance between the first and second degree is two frets or a whole step, same with second and third degree. The distance between the third and fourth degree however, is only one guitar fret or a half step.

The distance, between the degrees, determines the name of the guitar scale. The name of the above diagram is the MAJOR scale, because of the half step between the third and fourth degrees and the half step between the seventh and first degrees. If the half steps were in any other position on the guitar, the scale would not remain major.

STRING NAMES
In the diagram, there is an illustration of a guitar fretboard. All through this book there are similar such diagrams. This is one of the only diagrams that has the names of the strings included in it, so memorize the string names now. In all the diagrams, the big "E" string is at the bottom of the fretboard diagram, the little "E" string is at the top.

As you go through this page, notice that there are no fret markers or fret dots on most of the diagrams. This is because the diagrams are just a section of an imaginary, infinite length, fretboard.

Guitar Notes
The diagram shows the names of the NOTES, on the guitar fretboard. These notes are permanent and you must memorize them over the entire fretboard. Remember, the notes repeat, every twelfth fret.

This is the guitar fretboard showing all the notes including sharps.

The "#" (sharp) symbol means to raise a note a half step (one fret). There is only a half step separating the E and F notes and a half step separating the B and C notes. There is really no such note as an E# or a B# note. All the other notes have a whole step (two frets) of separation.

The notes in between the whole steps have the name of either a sharp(#) or a flat(b). The diagram above shows these notes as sharp(#). The diagram below shows the in between notes as flats(b).

This is the guitar fretboard showing all the notes including flats.

The "b" (flat) symbol means to lower a note a half step. There is only a half step separating the E and F notes and a half step separating the B and C notes. There is really no such note as an Fb a Cb note. All the other notes have a whole step (two frets) of separation.

An F# note is the same as a Gb note. The G# is the same as the Ab. The A# is the same as the Bb. The C# is the same as the Db and the D# is the same as the Eb.
