The tonal steps define the scale. If you change those then the scale changes. But you can change the modal steps of the scale without changing the scale itself.
But if you flatten the 3rd (a modal step,) then the scale does change to a minor scale. It would have to be because the 1st triad of the scale is now of a minor tonality. Doesn't flattening the 3rd also make the 5th triad a minor chord too?
what the hell is up with this.
Bass guitar is the answer to everything
