Mode formulas

This gives us a bunch of formulas which we can apply to create modes starting on any note, but learning the formulas off by heart is still a pretty daunting task.

So let’s make it easy! 

Example- Modes derived from C major, but analysed against major scales of each root:

No.	Name	Mnemonic	Notes	Home scale	Compar-ison
1	C Ionian mode	In	CDEFGABC	CDEFGABC	same
2	D Dorian mode	Dorset	DEFGABCD	DEF#GABC#D	b3,b7
3	E Phrygian mode	People	EFGABCDE	EF#G#ABC#D#E	b2,b3,b6.b7
4	F Lydian mode	Live	FGABCDEF	FGABbCDEF	#4
5	G Mixolydian mode	Mostly	GABCDEFG	GABCDEF#G	b7
6	A Aeolian mode	Along	ABCDEFGA	ABC#DEF#G#A	b3,b6,b7
7	B Locrian mode	Lanes	BCDEFGAB	BC#D#EF#G#A#B	b2,b3,b5,b6.b7
