Dictionary: A Major Scale


From this three-sharp scale, we can derive the modes A Ionian, B Dorian, C# Phrygian, D Lydian, E Mixolydian, F# Aeolian, and G# Locrian.  In the table below, you'll find accompaniment-friendly triads to the left, and chords more suitable for transition (if you're adventurous enough) to the right:

A F#m G#dim Aaug
D Bm Dm Bdim
E C#m C# E#dim
