We're now going to play the modes of
the major scale from the parent scale also called the relative scale.
In other words we're going to play in one key,
and we're going to start on different notes of that key.
We're going to start with the root, which is Ionian,
starting from the second degree, which is Dorian, third degree, Phrygian,
fourth degree, Lydian, fifth degree, Mixolydian,
sixth degree, Aeolian, and seventh degree, Locrian.
We're going to do this within one octave of the scale,
each note will be one octave,
C to C in the C major scale,
D to D in the C major scale,
E to E in the C major scale.
I will name the modes as I play them.
I'll start with C major in the fifth position, 1, 2, 3, 4.
