No one even mentioned that the mode is defined by the notes you emphasise and cover a particluar chord prog.!! Im going to be playing modes indavertantly from now on, Im not going to both with the name of the one Im playing either.
The are two types of mode-ness Ive learned.
Type one - When you emphasise different notes in a scale to give it favour, notes not neccessarily in the chord formulas of the ones your playing in the background. So G D C progression is G major, but by emphasising Lots of E's Ill give it a different colour, you might call it E Aelion or whatever!!, then the song could change key tonally to E, wonder how that would sounds, a solo in E (kinda) then the song changes to E
Type 2 - Soloing along to a progression then the song changes Key. So I'll be soloing in C Major then we have a pause in the song then a A5 B5 C5 D5 D#5 / / / / / kinda key change then I'll solo in D major, you could say im changing mode to D Dorian or whatever!!!
