Time to Burn: Applying Modes to Different Tonal Centers

Posted 04/24/2013 at 8:18am | by Michael Angelo Batio

Comment

When working on writing melodies for my original compositions, my standard approach is to examine the chord progression in order to determine which scales or modes would best apply. A mode is the notes of scale, such as the major scale, oriented around a different root note and chord; Modes offer great flexibility in terms of the way they relate to a set of chords within relative keys.

Review: Epiphone Ultra-339
