What Are Modes?

Modes are scales that are derived from the major or minor scale. They have the same notes as the major or minor scale, but they start on a different note. This gives them a different sound and feel. There are seven modes in total: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian.
