Diatonic Chord Progressions, Modes, Intervals and Options

---

To fully understand the derivation of modes, related chords and options it is a must that you start to see scales and modes as a summary of intervals which have to be learnt by heart. You can skip this part of music theory if you are only into blues and basic rock guitar but if you want to learn how to create chord progressions from the diatonic modes, how chords are built and how to add options ( ex. Cmaj9, Dm11, G7#9 ) then you need to understand this part of music theory. On this working sheet I have added the essential parts of the theory. Take your time on it to learn and understand it. You need to manage the 7 basic modes - ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian and locrian completely in order to really start working with it in your creative playing.

If you have any questions about this topic and the related working sheet please ask them here in this topic below or book a private online lesson.
