Do you really need to know modes? Watch this video to find out.
I'm explaining modes in 8 minutes or less in this super short video, and by the end you should have a much better understanding of what a mode is and why you may or may not need to know about it.
You don't need to feel like you're getting bogged down with music theory as you try to advance, so that's why I'm keeping this simple. Modes are derivatives of the major scale! The seven modes are: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. I'll quickly explain each one as we move along. I also give you a fretboard diagram so you can easily follow along. You should screenshot it and keep it for practicing!
Here's some more in-depth explanation:
I chord is Maj7
ii chord is min7
iii chord is min7
IV chord is Maj7
V chord is Dom7
vi chord is min7
vii chord is min7 b5
so if we're in the key of A major for example .... our chords are gonna be
... Amaj7 - Bmin7 - C#min7 - Dmaj7 - E7 - F# min7 - G#min7 b5
now, these chords coincide with the respective modes
1st mode: Ionian
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 or WWHWWWH
2nd mode: Dorian 1-2-b3-4-5-6-b7 or WHWWWHW
3rd mode: Phrygian 1-b2-b3-4-5-b6-b7 or HWWWHWW
4th mode: Lydian
1-2-3-#4-5-6-7 or WWWHWWH
5th mode: Myxolydian 1-2-3-4-5-6-b7 or WWHWWHW
6th mode: Aeolian (aka. natural minor) 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7 or
WHWWHWW
7th mode: Locrian 1-b2-b3-4-b5-b6-b7 or HWWHWWW
so in essence you compare chords with modes .... I chord = 1st mode
(ionian)
ii chord = 2nd mode (dorian)
iii chord = 3rd (Phrygian)
IV chord = 4th (Lydian)
V chord = 5th (Mixolydian) vi chord = 6th (Aeolian)
vii = 7th (Locrian)
