This is the first part of a multi part series on modes. When I've posted everything you'll find it in the link above here.

有幾個方式去學調式音階,
第一種你可以想成都在C大調音階的關係(全部沒有升降記號):
C音到C音Ionian,
D音到D音Dorian,
E音到E音Phrygian,
F音到F音Lydian,
G音到G音Mixolydian,
A音到A音Aeolian,
B音到B音Locian,

第二種方式,也是Tony喜歡用的一種方式:

Quick Groove Lesson (Bubblehouse by MMW)

Here is a quick and dirty lesson on "Bubblehouse" by Medeski Martin and Wood from the album "Shack-Man". Stefan had requested more beginner stuff so this is what came to mind. It was a jammy-jam type of song that was popular when I was a tween in college. It was one of the first songs I heard and said "I can play that" and just walked over to the vibes and started banging it out. I busted it it out a few times when stuck jamming with rocker guitarists/bassists who don't know any songs. "Ok just play G minor.... :)"

The Modes In Detail - Locrian

Locrian the crazy scale! The 7th scale degree of the major scale.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chinese translation for Chinese students

如果拿Locrian 音階和大調(major)音階來比較,Locrian音階多了降2降3降5降6降7音。

因為沒有完全五度(根音跟五音中間),所以聲響上沒有被解決的感覺。

單單只打這個音階覺得沒有被解決,所以通常用在minor7b5- dominant7b9,

例如Cminor7b5- Fdominant7b9 - Bbminor7

Locrian 是比較難的音階,可以練習在不同調式之間轉換,熟悉不同調式音階的聲音。

The Modes In Detail - Dorian

Dorian is the mode that starts on the second scale degree of the major scale. So in the key of C play D to D.

Dorian和 Ionian 的不同是,Dorian 降3音降7音
Dorian是最常在爵士樂中在小調和弦(Minor chord)中用到調式。II-V-I的和聲進行,II級幾乎都是用到Dorian。
(Tony示範各種不同爵士標準曲中(Standards)出現各種不同的Dorian聲音)
