Posted - 08/11/2004 : 11:18:09 PM In an effort to learn more and more about music, I've attempted to create a chord chart relating each type under which mode/note in a scale it can be played under. What follows is an early attempt at such a dictionary or chart. I know there are others out there that could use such a thing. What I would appreciate is if anyone could contribute more chords or make corrections to any mistakes I may have made, since I know that many musicians here are quite well versed in theory. Check it out:
(using C Major scale as an example key)
I - Ionian/Major C Major C Sus4 C 6 C Major7 C Major9 C 6/9
II - Dorian D Minor D Minor6 D Minor7 D Minor9 D Minor11 D Minor13 D Minor6/9
III - Phrygian E Minor E Minor7 E Minor11
IV - Lydian F Major F 6 F Major7 F Major9 F Major7#11 F 6/9
V - Mixodylian G Major G Sus4 G 6 G 7 G 9 G 11 G 13 G 6/9
VI - Aeolian/Minor A Minor A Minor7 A Minor9 A Minor11
VII - Locrian B Diminished B Min7b5
Again, any additional chords or corrections are more than welcome.

Posted - 08/12/2004 : 09:55:14 AM That is great JTR. It reminded me of the best book that I ever bought about guitar: The Guitar Grimoire: Scales and Modes. Grimoire is pronounced Grem-war, which rhymes with Guitar. It breaks down just about every scale and mode out there, and what keys different modes go with, etc... Here's a pic of the book:

It cost me like 18 bucks at Barnes & Noble. I'd suggest picking it up if you're into scales and modes. And even if you have a pretty good understanding of it, the book does a great job of reinforcing the entire idea of modes.
Your chart looks great though, and I will probably wind up putting that into an Excel spreadsheet and printing it off for quick reference while jamming with friends.
