Members RG450 Posted February 10, 2006 Members Posted February 10, 2006 Okay. Let's say I play the Phrygian scale shape in the seventh position. I move the same shape to the ninth position. Have I just changed the key, or have I changed to an entirely different mode?
Members gennation Posted February 10, 2006 Members Posted February 10, 2006 Yes and no...you might say you changed Keys as opposed to modes...but yeah I guess you changed modes too. A Phyrgian pattern at the 7th fret is a B Phrygian...or the third scale/mode/pattern of the G Major scale. A Phrygian pattern at the 9th fret is a C# Phrygian...or the the third scale/mode/pattern of the A Major scale. So, in that order you changed from the key of G to the key of A.
Members RG450 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Members Posted February 10, 2006 Thanks. Can you suggest any resources, beside here, that would explain how to combine chords properly and how to determine which scale fits into a chord progression?
Members gennation Posted February 10, 2006 Members Posted February 10, 2006 Somebody just posted a site in a another thead that was pretty good, I think it was Chris Jourenson's site or something like that...I'll find it and post it back here.
Members gennation Posted February 10, 2006 Members Posted February 10, 2006 Here it is. It one of many sites but I know this guy has some good stuff...http://chrisjuergensen.com.hosting.domaindirect.com/modes_1.htm About half way down is Introduction to Modes. Also just go to google.com and search for mode or diatonic scales or diatonic keys or something similar. Good luck and I'm sure some others will pipe in. EDIT: Actually he got a lot of lessons that look good:http://chrisjuergensen.com.hosting.domaindirect.com/lessons.htm
