Scales & modes

             Following scales will be coverīed: A minor,A major,A harmonic minor,
             And A phrygian-dominant.The modes coverīed are:A dorian,
             A mixolydian,A lydian,A phrygian,A locrian,A ionian and A aeollian.



            First here is the A major scale(also known as the ionian mode):

                         |---------------------------------------------4--5--------|
                         |---------------------------------------5--7--------------|
                         |-----------------------------4--6--7---------------------|
                         |-------------------4--6--7-------------------------------|
                         |---------4--5--7-----------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7----------------------------------------------------|


                Here is the A minor scale(also known as the aeolian mode:
                          
                         |-------------------------------------------------5--7--8--|
                         |---------------------------------------5--6--8------------|
                         |--------------------------------5--7----------------------|
                         |----------------------5--7--9-----------------------------|
                         |------------5--7--8---------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------|


                                  Here you see the A harmonic minor scale:


                         |---------------------------------------------4--5--7--8---|
                         |---------------------------------------5--6---------------|
                         |-----------------------------4--5--7----------------------|
                         |----------------------6--7--------------------------------|
                         |------------5--7--8---------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------|


                                              This is the A dorian mode:


                         |------------------------------------------------5--7--8----|
                         |--------------------------------------5--7--8--------------|                       
                         |----------------------------4--5--7------------------------|
                         |------------------4--5--7----------------------------------|
                         |------------5--7-------------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7--8--------------------------------------------------|


                                         The killer mode of the A phrygian:



                         |------------------------------------------------5--6--8-----|
                         |--------------------------------------5--6--8---------------|
                         |--------------------------------5--7------------------------|
                         |----------------------5--7--8-------------------------------|
                         |------------5--7--8-----------------------------------------|
                         |--5--6--8---------------------------------------------------|


                                       The killer scale A phrygian-dominant:


                         |-------------------------------------------------5--6--9----|
                         |---------------------------------------5--6--8--------------|
                         |--------------------------------6--7------------------------|
                         |----------------------5--7--8-------------------------------|  
                         |---------4--5--7--8-----------------------------------------|  
                         |--5--6------------------------------------------------------|
                         

                                                 Here is the A lydian mode:


                         |----------------------------------------------4--5--7--------|
                         |------------------------------------4--5--7------------------|                     
                         |-----------------------------4--6----------------------------|
                         |-------------------4--6--7-----------------------------------|
                         |---------4--6--7---------------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7-------------------------------------------------------|


                                               The A mixolydian mode:


                         |-----------------------------------------------------7--9--10--|
                         |------------------------------------------7--8--10-------------|
                         |--------------------------------6--7--9------------------------|
                         |----------------------5--7--9----------------------------------|
                         |------------5--7--9--------------------------------------------|
                         |--5--7--9------------------------------------------------------|


                                         here is the final mode A locrian:


                         |-------------------------------------------------5--6--8-------|
                         |------------------------------------------6--8-----------------|
                         |--------------------------------5--7--8------------------------|
                         |----------------------5--7--8----------------------------------|
                         |------------5--6--8--------------------------------------------|
                         |--5--6--8------------------------------------------------------|


        Well thatīs all i think.Remember to practice these scales and modes in all keys.
