I have to agree with Ken here Richie. It really would be so much easier if we could just print out the whole of each course book in one go. I’m discovering that there is a lot of unnecessary overlap between the smaller downloads linked to individual lessons. This is frustratingly time and resource-wasting. Thanks.
Thank you for your detailed and extremely helpful reply Richie.
Another way in which I’ve heard the same idea explained – again to avoid thinking in terms of separate ‘mode fingerings’ – is to use major scale (Ionian mode) fingering patterns over diatonic chords in a major key to obtain the major mode sounds as follows:
Use a C major fingering over a D minor 7 chord to get a Dorian sound
Use a C major fingering over an E minor 7 chord to get a Phrygian sound
Use a C major fingering over an F major 7 chord to get a Lydian sound
Use a C major fingering over a G dominant 7 chord to get a Mixolydian sound
Use a C major fingering over an A minor 7 chord to get an Aeolian sound
Use a C major fingering over a B minor 7 flat 5 chord to get a Locrian soundIn each case the advice has been simply to shift one’s orientation/perspective within the same fingering pattern rather than to think in terms of a completely new ‘mode fingering’ i.e. see the second degree of the major (Ionian) fingering as ‘home’ when aiming for a Dorian sound, the third degree of that fingering as ‘home’ when aiming for a Phrygian sound etc.
What are your own thoughts on this matter?
