FOREWORD Welcome to this the sixth installment in my Bass Manual Series. In this book you will be shown how the Modes are applied on the bass guitar. To begin with – I must point out that it’s important to note that the first book of this series that deals with the major keys lays the groundwork and is the basis for all the other books in this series. If you have a good understanding of the major keys the application of the modes will be very easy. The chronological order of the seven books in this series (as presented) is not necessarily the order that you need to work through these books – with the exception of the first book that deals with the major keys that must be done first. Once you have a thorough understanding of the major keys and can play in the major keys you can then carry on at your own discretion. I suggest that you work through the series in the following order and I’ll also divide my order into two groups and then explain why:
1) Book 1: Major Keys (Must start with this book – Not Negotiable) 2) Book 5: Chords 3) Book 6: Modes 4) Book 7: Pentatonic
5) Book 2: Natural Minor Keys 6) Book 3: Harmonic Minor Keys 7) Book 4: Melodic Minor Keys
The reason for dividing the above order into these two groups is simply because in practice (the actual playing that we do and are required to do – so it is also out of necessity) we predominantly utilize and relate and focus on the subject matter of the four books in the first group. It is absolutely essential to have a very good understanding of the subject matter in these four books. The second group in the above order deals with the minor keys and the minor keys are often neglected by musicians (I can confess that I am guilty of this too and I often refer to these three books myself) but we must strive to learn these keys properly. Well, I hope my Bass Manual Series will be of some benefit to you and good luck with your musical endeavors. Regards,

INTRODUCTION
Modes By starting (individually) on every degree of the seven degrees of the major scale, a mode is produced. You can think of it as seven mini scales within the major scale or major key and you will also notice or must observe how each mode has its own particular sound and nuance even though we are still only playing within a major key. By starting on the seven (various) degrees of the major scale we will be shifting to a new starting point within the major key and every individual degree of the major scale will produce a particular mode and the new – Modal Tonality. Yet again we see the importance of understanding the application of the major keys. There are a total of seven modes (corresponding to the seven degrees of the major scale) and the names of the seven modes are:
Starting on the 1st
degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Ionian Mode Starting on the 2
nd degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Dorian Mode
Starting on the 3
rd degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Phrygian Mode
Starting on the 4
th degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Lydian Mode
Starting on the 5
th degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Mixolydian Mode
Starting on the 6
th degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Aeolian Mode
Starting on the 7
th degree of any particular major scale will always produce the – Locrian Mode
Here are two examples of the position of modes in the major key: Modes in C Major:
I II III IV V VI VII
C Ionian D Dorian E Phrygian F Lydian G Mixolydian A Aeolian B Locrian
C⇨C D⇨D E⇨E F⇨F G⇨G A⇨A B⇨B
Major Minor Minor Major Sharp
Four Seventh Minor Diminished

nd degree 3
rd degree 4

Modes in A Major:

Major Minor Minor Major Sharp
Four Seventh Minor Diminished
1st degree 2
nd degree 3
rd degree 4
th degree 5
th degree 6
th degree 7
th degree
The name of the mode will be determined by the root note and the specific mode, for example: The mode D Lydian will be found in the key of A Major because in the key of A Major the note D is on the fourth degree and the location and starting point of the Lydian mode. The mode G Mixolydian will be found in the key of C Major because in the key of C Major the note G is on the fifth degree and the location of the Mixolydian mode.
There is also a close correlation between the scale tone chords of the major key and the modes. In practice for example, if you are given a certain chord progression like a II – V – I in the key of C major, you could then use the modes as a guide for improvising or comping around the given chord progression. You’ll be using the Dorian mode around the chord of II, the Mixolydian mode around the chord of V and the Ionian mode around the chord of I in that particular major key.
P a g e | 6
The practical application of playing the modes will again be a matter of principal because you have already done the bulk of the work if you have a good understanding of the major keys that we covered in book 1. In this book we will again use the same methodology that we used throughout this series of using patterns to get a visualization of the mode – that will then serve as a guide of where to play. Learning all these patterns may seem like a lot of work but remember that you will still only be playing within the major scale and major key and it is our ability and understanding of playing within a major key that we use as a reference when we play the seven modes in a major key. You will also notice when working through this book that I have only given you a total of six patterns for every mode (with the exception of the first mode – the Ionian mode – that corresponds to the major scale so all I had to do was to extract the seven major scale patterns as given in the first book and place it here). But take note that it is not about a set number of patterns – the objective of the patterns (as I have presented it to you in this series) is basically to find the quickest and most logical way to get a visual reference of something over the entire playing surface of the instrument. If you can find your own patterns or visual references of where to play then that would be excellent. Below is a table outlining the chapters of book 1 and the modes in that particular key, as it will appear in this book 6:
