If you've mastered the past 29 lessons, you're essentially good to go as a guitarist. You know enough open chords to buy a capo to do all your transposing. You know a lot of moveable chords, so that you might not even need to use a capo to transpose. However, we have seven more weeks of differing root notes, so please stick around!
Okay, if you remember the Derivative Modes lesson, you will recall that - for example - the E major scale (E F# G# A B C# D# E) can change order into modes that start at different notes. The B Mixolydian, for example, contains the same exact notes as E major, but in a different order: B C# D# E F# G# A B.
Today, we're going to look at the various modes, but we'll let all the modes start with the E note. Notice how each mode relates to a corresponding major scale:
| E Ionian | E | F# | G# | A | B | C# | D# | E | E major scale |
| E Dorian | E | F# | G | A | B | C# | D | E | D major scale |
| E Phrygian | E | F | G | A | B | C | D | E | C major scale |
| E Lydian | E | F# | G# | A# | B | C# | D# | E | B major scale |
| E Mixolydian | E | F# | G# | A | B | C# | D | E | A major scale |
| E Aeolian | E | F# | G | A | B | C | D | E | G major scale |
| E Locrian | E | F | G | A | Bb | C | D | E | F major scale |
