RE: Flamenco and 'The Modes'? (in reply to Sr. Martins)

Thanks for that info Seem to be two applications in learning modes ? Derivative - modes derived from one scale ie Cmajor - D Dorian etc Parallel - modes using the same tonic - C Dorian - C Phrygian etc Agree the parallel certainly displays the differences in sound of the modes more readily Where derivative may help in chord/scale relationships in a given key ( and any modulation ) That's the way I'm understanding the two views discussed here anyway

For some from my generation the first encounter with modes possibly came from this book (Mahavishnu) Bought the book in 1977 - tattered and used but still with me Shows both derived and some parallel modes Thought I'd upload it as a reference - happy to tab/GP some positions - annotate some chord voicings - though that won't explain the how or why - and the names get forgotten after a while :-)

I agree some modal music doesn't fit into a western based key system - particularly if uses both maj and minor thirds - ie what is described above as synthetic modes - where it is more an aural application as opposed to a western theoretical one - Maybe this where flamenco is difficult to explain ( unlike Jazz etc ) - unless your ricardo or yourself - found the Bach resolving to a Phrygian tonic comment gold though -

If you have a piano handy this may help Excuse the poor quality image - but should give you the idea along with what is being said
