New Scale Must??

The major scale. It'll give you the seven basic diatonic modes.

For example, the C major scale gives you the D Dorian mode, the E Phrygian mode, the F Lydian mode, the G Mixolydian mode the A Aeolian mode and the B Locrian mode.

 

Put them all together and you get this:



Descending chords:
Cmaj7 - Bm7b5 - Am7 - G7

Ascending chords:
Cmaj7 - Dm7 - Em7 - Fmaj7 - G7

 

It's the C major scale.

CDEFGAB


Red indicates the root C.

To play the other modes start on the root of the modes

Example D Dorian is DEFGABC.
E Phrygian is EFGABCD etc.

 

Alternative rock scale?? Im about to learn something new?

 

Here are the seven patterns of the C major scale in a three note per string format.
They are all the same scale but they start on different notes.
The black dots are all C.

 

@fezz parka: that would make a really great exercise.

Can you please confirm you are playing the chord in the background and then doing the arpeggios of the respective chord in different positions or starting the full major scale from different notes?

Thanks a lot to clarify.

 

I need to learn a new emotion can everyone please tell me one that I can use in every situation

 

I'm playing the complete mode ascending over each chord.

So:
I - C Ionian over Cmaj7
ii - D Dorian over Dm7
iii - E Phrygian over Em7
IV - F Lydian over Fmaj7
V7 - G Mixolydian over G7
vi - A Aeolian over Am7
vii° - B Locrian over Bm7b5

You can play the modes descending too. And yes it's a great exercise.

 

@fezzparka...thank you for the response...in the video you are playing in that order?...or is it C B A G C D E F G C B A G and ending on a C barre chord A shape...is that correct please?

 

Its in the post.

Descending = I - vii° - vi - V7.
Cmaj7 - Bm7b5 - Am7 - G7

Ascending = I - ii - iii - IV -V7.
Cmaj7 - Dm7 - Em7 - Fmaj7 - G7

 

@fezzparka...oh missed that and thanks a lot to point it out..appreciate it
