The Modal system was used prior to our current system of “Keys”as we know it now. They are Ionian (C to C ) Dorian (D to D) Phrygian (E to E) Lydian (F to F) Mixylodian (G to G)Aeolian (A to A) Locrain (B to B) .. The neat thing about playing modal is that the tonality is different than whole whole half etc.

Post Script to last post…The modal system uses only the white keys on the piano. Mixolydian was used in several of the Beatles (SP?) songs.

Not sure I understand still so I guess I wouldn’t be able to answer your question. But just out of curiosity, are you saying that some of the Beatles songs only use the white notes from G to G (Mixolydian)? And is so, maybe they didn’t do it on purpose. Could you name one of their songs as an example?

Ha ha, like EVERY JAZZ MUSICIAN EVER! (They get bored easily.) I can’t name specific examples off the top, but I would check out John Coltrane (listen to his solos. …no, listen to them twice. They’re like wiskey: they’re sort of an acquired taste.). Also, I would try going back to some early music. Look at pre-Bach church music and you’ll probably find something. Also, you’ll find some in renaissance music.

Good luck!

Like, EVERY jazz musician! (They get bored.) I don’t know specific examples off the top, but I would for sure look up John Coltrane (he’s awesome, but a bit of an acquired taste, so give him at least a couple listens before you make up your mind on him). I’d also look at early church music (way before Bach), and renaissance music for SURE. Good luck!!!!
