Comparing scales and tonalities by their relative brightness can be a far more objective and useful way to conceptualise music. The seven modes of the major scale offer a fantastic range of brightnesses to choose from. In today's video I'll be working my way through the modal sprectrum and demonstrating some classic examples of modal writing as I go, including 'Uptown Funk', 'Mad World', 'Yoda's Theme', 'The Force Theme', 'Wherever I May Roam' and plenty more.

And an extra special thanks goes to Daniel Long & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇
