Take the A Natural Scale and its Modes.
The question is.
When I change modes, does this change key or just the root note? I ask this because when I play the modes I tend to move back to the nearest A no matter what mode I play. The scale just doesn’t sound complete until I touch an A for the ending note.
Take E Phrygian for example: E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E
Is that really the key of A, I know it is the notes of A Natural Minor, but what key?
My conclusion is that I got to shift all the mode patterns to change key, and that is something that I would spend allot of time getting use to for Improvising and stuff.
