Now that the Major Scale Modes are complete do the following:
1. Learn in all keys (C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B,)
2. Record all the chord progressions and play the modal scale with the modal chords.
3. Start to move to other keys. Example take C Ionian and move to D Ionian. The chords would be the same chord types just in the new key. See here below:
D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D is the D major scale - also called the D Ionian Mode.
The Family of Chords is the same as the D major Family of Chords.
No matter what key you change to the chord types remain the same!
I chord = D major (Dmaj7 four note chord)
ii chord = E minor (Em7 four note chord)
iii chord = F# minor (F#m7 four note chord)
IV chord = G major (Gmaj7 four note chord)
V chord = A major (A7 four note chord)
vi chord = B minor (Bm7 four note chord)
viio chord = C# diminished (C#m7b5 four note chord)
Now record (or have a friend play) the common Ionian progressions 5 to 10 minutes each and live (or on another track) play the D Ionian scale using quarter then eighth notes. Start at or around 60 BPM.
1. I //// IV //// V //// IV ////
2. I //// vi //// IV //// V /////
3. I //// IV //// I //// V ///
4. I //// IV //// viio //// iii //// vi //// ii //// V //// ////
Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
