The 2nd and 6th-degree notes are extensions of major chords. Notice, that you get the G major chord if you use these degrees. Remember that this is a movable scale, so you can move this shape all over the fretboard.Īs you can see, the Ionian mode consists of major notes, therefore it can be used to play major chords, which are comprised of the 1st, 3rd, 5th degree. This scale is used as a base scale from which other modes and scales come.
The intervals of Ionian mode are:ġ W 2 W 3 H 4 W 5 W 6 W 7 H 8(1) Ionian mode The Ionian mode is the first mode, it’s another name for the major scale itself. This may seem like a small change, but you’ll hear that because of these one-note changes, each mode will have a distinctive atmosphere and mood to it, which you can use in your music. It's fairly simple, each mode starts off of a different note of the major scale, thus each of the 7 guitar modes is a derivative of the major scale. Now that I have you confused, let's look at the most used and known modal system on the guitar, the 7 modes of the major scale. So it's fair to say that all modes are scales, but NOT all scales are modes 🙂 However, they would not exist on their own, since they are part of a bigger scale. Guitar modes can be viewed as scales on their own since the notes in each mode are separated by a given interval pattern.
