What minor scale mode is just a major scale starting on the sixth scale degree?

I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.


What mode is Scarborough fair?

What are the three components of a key?

Here is the way I see it: I) How many sharps/flats do I have? You should always find the major key first II) What mode am I playing in? In other words, what note of the major scale does the song resolve to? Typically speaking, you have either a major key or a minor key but there may be times where the song doesn't resolve to the I (major key) or the vi (minor key) chord/note. This is called a mode. If I'm not in Bb Ionian (major), I'm in C Dorian, D Phrygian, Eb Lydian, F mixolydian, G aeolian (minor), or A Locrian. All of these key signatures have Bb and Eb. However each mode resolves to a different note of the scale


What is modal in music terms?

What is are modes in music?

A mode is a type of scale in music. Major and minor are modes, for instance. The classical modes are derived from the piano. By playing only on the white keys of a piano from middle C to high C, a major scale is played. However, if you start on an A below middle C, and play a scale up to the next A still only playing on white keys, you play a minor scale. Here are all seven classical modes: C to C: Ionian (Major) D to D: Dorian E to E: Phrygian F to F: Lydian G to G: Mixolydian A to A: Aeolian (Minor) B to B: Locrian
