The Ubiquity of the Minor Mode Find your degrees • Rule for the Major Diatonic Scale Count: “tone-tone-semitone (3)-tone-tone-tone-semitone (7)” • T-T-St-T-T-T-sT • 1-2-three-4-5-6-seven • Back to our chords: • BbMaj7-Bm7b5-Dm (7)- G9 (high shape): • So you can play minor arpeggios on the fifth of a dominant chord • ALSO: play Gm11 and Cm11: you may play a minor scale/arpeggio of the 5th degree of Cm7: i.e., Gm7 (aside from the root) Arpeggios over MAJOR chords • Rule: 3 minors that preserve the sound of the major chord: • Minor built on the third degree: Cmaj-Em7; play arpeggios: same • Minor bulit on the sixth degree: Cmaj-Am • Minor built on the 7th degree, which yields a C Lydian: Cmaj7-Bm7
The Ubiquity of the Minor Mode In fact, the DMS has 4 minor relative modes: • Dorian (2nd) • Phrygian (3rd) • Aeolian (6th) • Locrian (7th) • E.g., Gmaj7: • G (R) ~ B (3) ~ E(6) ~ F# (7) • Pat Martino on Improvisation & the the Minor Mode at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGb3sexMlCE
