There are plenty of other scales and modes outside of the seven I’ve covered but they will account for plenty of music you will listen to. ![]() The more you can do this the more you will get used to the sound of that mode and also how to play it on the bass. So go back over this post and, using the diagrams, try playing over the song examples given. Ionian Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian Aeolian Locrian TIP: I do recommend learning the names though! My friend told me an unprintable mnemonic to memorise it so why don’t you come up with one? Incidentally, I have no idea if they knew they were using locrian and it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day if you know the mode names or not as long as you can create something that sounds good. The Strokes, however, came up with a great riff using these notes. That chord is used a lot in jazz so that’s where you hear the locrian used in walking bass lines that outline the harmony. The chord that comes from this is a minor 7 flat 5 (or “half-diminished”) and that is where bass players commonly employ the locrian mode. The mode that starts on the 7th note of a major scale is the locrian. Ionian Mode Midnight In Harlem - Tedeschi Trucks Band This knowledge can be then used when you are writing music, constructing bass lines, jamming with other musicians or working out a bass line. Once you can link a mode to a certain piece of music that you’re familiar with, they will start to mean a lot more to you and you’ll be able to listen with a much more educated ear. There are 7 modes in the major scale and I’m just sticking to those for now (there are 7 from the harmonic minor and 7 from the melodic minor but let’s not go too crazy…). This blog post will just show you a few tunes that contain bass lines that use certain modes. But you often hear the lydian mode in films set in space ( Wall:E is a great example). Now, this is my interpretation of it - you can make your own decision about what it sounds like to you. The position of that one note turns the scale into a dreamy, exotic, mystical sound. Think of it as just a major scale except you nudge the 4th note up (higher) one fret (see below for a diagram). The lydian mode is my absolute favourite. I think it’s a really powerful skill to be able to manipulate these sounds to change the way people feel. Think how much music you could make by knowing some of these modes. ![]() I think the best way to learn modes is to find out a little about what they sound like and how they make you feel as well as identifying popular examples that you can relate to. I’ve always thought that’s totally bonkers (in a good way!). ![]() Literally your mood can be altered due to a change in chemical reactions in your body due to these modes. It’s crazy to think that by changing just one note a composer or player can completely change the way you feel. Different scales generate different sounds. However, when you strip them down to their bare bones, a ‘mode’ is just another word for ‘scale’ and a scale is simply a collection of musical notes. *** Selected by our editorial team.When modes have names like ‘Super Locrian’ and ‘Phrygian’ you’re not to be blamed if you're totally confused by them. ** Single print order can either print or save as PDF. ![]() We want to emphesize that even though most of our sheet music have transpose and playback functionality, unfortunately not all do so make sure you check prior to completing your purchase print. * Where transpose of 'Juicebox' available a notes icon will apear white and will allow to see possible alternative keys.
