Shouldn't it be F# minor... (F# A C)? ii = minor chord construction = (Root + 3 semi-tones + 4 semi-tones) Correct? When you say…’the ii chord in the key of E is F# major, ‘…
Shouldn’t it be F# minor… (F# A C)?

ii = minor chord construction = (Root + 3 semi-tones + 4 semi-tones)
Correct?

But I think there's a typo: 1) If Phrygian=(b2, b3, b6, b7) and Locrian=(b2, b3, b6, b7) they are the same, right? Wikipedia has Locrian=(b2, b3, b5, b6, b7) I'm a total beginner so sorry if I'm just dense. Also the link to Aeolian -> Mixolydian page Again thanks for the great stuff! Hi — great site!

Thank you for you kind words. I'm glad this lesson resonates with you. If you read <a href="http://onlineguitarbooks.com/2012/01/24/how-to-use-guitar-modes-part-1-staying-diatonic/" title="how to use guitar modes" rel="nofollow">how to use guitar modes</a> that should give you a bit of an introduction to how modes are used. Modes can also be used with minor scales! Modes are often used with the harmonic minor scale and jazz melodic minor scale. Modes work best with 7 note scales because of they way that the notes from the scale can be used to form chords. The pentatonic scale for example only has 5 notes, so there are not a lot of usable chords that you can derive from it. I'll hopefully get round to writing some posts about them soon! Hi Lynne.

I forgot to ask also, why are modes only used in the major scale? Does it work for minor, or pentatonic or ect. . .scales? If not why not? Lynne again. P.S.

Two to three hours! I've had a limited (9 mos of piano) amount of music theory too. I did have a guitar teacher for a short short time. Part of the reason I left him was he kept talking to me about modes without teaching them to me. He thought I knew what he was talking about and it was like another language. When I asked he couldn't explain it. But you could and you did. So you have my gratitude and my deep appreciation for your skills of teaching. However, I now need to know the "why" once the the "how" is solved. Why were modes created, why would I choose to use a Dorian over a Lydian or Mixolydian? How would I use it in writing a song? What ways are they used? Please do finish this lesson as I've never had this explained to me so clearly before and I completely got it so quickly. I'm eager to learn the rest. Thanks sooo much!! Please email me when your website has it up. I've bookmarked you! Lynne I learned about modes in the time it took to read it and absorb it. Two to three hours!
