Modal Theory - The 7 Church Modes Explained

We start up with basic stuff and get very geeky later on :)

We create the CIRCLE OF CHURCH MODES - a very useful illustration to locate, describe and arrange all seven medieval modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian.

We explore the universal interval pattern of the church modes and we develop some very nice sounding improvisation tricks we can use and reuse, no matter what church mode we are playing!

We end up playing all seven jazz modes using the minor pentatonic scale.

In the lesson I refer to this video about playing the Dorian mode using the pentatonic scale: https://youtu.be/IssgEqN2aIY
