Just started the modes of the major scale, I am on lesson 2 now and decided to give you my thoughts on this. So here it is: I revised the labels or modes of the mother scale to create a parallel scale. As in the case of A major the dorian is at the 7th note of the scale, the G sharp becomes G and we start on the A note of the G scale thus creating a dorian scale. Phrygian mode the F sharp becomes F and start on the A note of the F scale, Aeolian mode the C sharp becomes C major and start of A, Locrian the second note becomes B flat major and start on A note. Lydian we simply use the E note as E major and start on A and finally the D the 4th note of A major we use it as D major and start on A for a mixlydian scale. It looks like I am in to a more complex study of the fretboard.

What are the songs tied up to the modes of the major scale? Guns and Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" is a mixolydian song. Blind Melon "No Rain" is also a mixolydian according to some authors.
