In this lesson I introduce you to the 7 modes and how they range from bright to dark. A mode is a scale like Major and Minor. However, there are different gradations of Major and Minor that create different moods. Songwriters can write songs in different modes.

The modes are Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, and Locrian.
