>> Let's take a look at the modes of the major scale.
In the key of C, it's really easy to see.
And that's because the modes are scales
based on each scale degree of a major scale,
a minor scale, any kind of scale,
in this case, major scale.
And that scale is called the parent scale.
So what we have here,
the key of C is all the white notes.
[MUSIC] And then when we go up a step,
what we're going to be doing is
comparing it to the parallel major,
which means we will compare this [MUSIC] to D major.
So if we do that,
what we have here is 1,
[MUSIC] 2, flat 3,
flat 7 and then
we're back home again.
[MUSIC] The name of that mode is Dorian,
and it's got a flat three and a flat seven.
Let's move up another step.
[MUSIC] So we have 1, flat 2,
flat 3, 4,
flat 7, and then we're back home.
So we have here the Phrygian mode.
[MUSIC]
Now the next scale starts on F. [MUSIC] 1,
sharp 4, 5, 6, 7.
That's a major one, and that's called Lydian.
[MUSIC]
And the next one is 1, 2,
That outlines a dominant chord
and it's called Mixolydian.
Next, we have 1,
flat 6, flat 7.
And then we're back home again.
And what we have here now is the Aeolian mode [MUSIC].
Which is also the relative minor of
the majors called pure minor, natural minor.
All these words, pure minor,
natural minor, Aeolian,
they all mean the same thing.
It's the relative minor of C major in this case.
And then there's one more mode.
It starts on B, 1,
flat 2, flat 3,
flat 6, flat 7.
And then we're home again.
We have something called Locrian.
[MUSIC] That one has the most alterations in it.
