Just a quick one guys could anyone gimi a link, or post a table or something with each mode, and its inervals. So like ionian is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc. Just trying to work this out so i can tab it and practice when my teacher comes

[Lew]

Try not to think of a mode as a scale but rather as different points of origin in the scale that you use as a "root", it will make the idea's easier to get a hold of and use in a situation, just IMHO!

If you play the following fret numbers on the top string:

0 2 3 5 7 8 10 12 14 15 17 19 20 22

Depending on which note you use as the root/which key you're in, you played either:
E Aeolian
F# Locrian
G Ionian
A Dorian
B Phrygian
C Lydian
D Mixolydian

[Antag]

If you know Aeolian (aka Natural Minor scale), then you can work out the other modes in any given key simply by working out what key of Aeolian mode it shares the same notes with...

yeah thanks for the quick response guys im doing theory with my teacher. But what i asking for is the intervals of each mode. Or frets in A over 2 octaves (6 string) so i can work out intervals. Also intervals would be best

I found the quickest way to commit them to memory was to learn the differences between each one.

Start with the easiest 2:

Ionian= same as the major scale (i.e tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, tone, semi tone)
Aeolian = same as the natural minor scale   (i.e tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, tone)

Then look at the variations on the minor scale:

Dorian = same as the natural minor scale except the 6th note is sharp by 1 fret

Phyrigian = same as the natural minor scale except the 2nd note is flattened by 1 fret

Locrian = same as the minor scale except the 2nd note and the 5th note are flattened by 1 fret

And the variations on the major scale:

Lydian = same as the major scale except the 4th note is sharp by 1 fret

Mixolydian = same as the major scale except the 7th note is flattened by 1 fret

ok and when u say natural minor in most of the answers, thats the same as the time u missed out natural minor, and just put minor i take it? And thanks dude!

[Antag]

OK, here are the modes in 5-string movable "shapes" (5 strings make more sense for 3-notes-per-string as you start & finish on the root note, I'll leave you to work out the bottom string yourself :))  Whatever note you start the shape on, whether playing ascending or descending is your "root" note.

[varkunus]

ok call me a noob but reading stuff like that i always get mixed up being lefty. Know its not any different. Anyway which side is A string left or right

[Antag]

A string = left (i.e. there are no notes on the bottom E string)

Varkunus download the picture and open it with MS Paint

press CTRL+R and flip it horizontally problem solved of course the letters are mirrored also but that shouldn't be to much hassle...  :D

You are correct! That's what I get for rushing when typing, I'd never make a music teacher!

I need to get the hang of this quoting thing as well
