Description: We use a super cool cardboard tool made by 'nupfe' to look up all the "Major" Modes, "Melodic minor" Modes, "Harmonic minor" Modes and "Harmonic Major" Modes. We play the ii-V-I (2-5-1) chord progression in Major and we look up different scales and we listen to the jazzy and thrilling sounds we can make. Thanks a million times to 'nupfe' who made this tool. A free gift from one musician to another - fantastic!!! I have pinned a comment to the top of the comment section - pls gather all questions about construction issues to 'nupfe' in that single comment, then it'll be more easy for 'nupfe' to manage the questions. And before bothering him with too many questions pls read his very detailed construction guide: newjazz.dk/Compendiums/4in1_ConstructionGuide.pdf THE TOOL: Small handy format: newjazz.dk/Compendiums/4in1_Modes_small.pdf Large format: newjazz.dk/Compendiums/4in1_Modes_large.pdf You can also choose to assemble 4 separate circular tools presented in this lesson: youtu.be/61_XUaBr78g The 4 tools contain the same scales in total and they are a little easier to build. If you don't wanna build any tools you can also just use this list of scales I made for the occasion: newjazz.dk/Compendiums/Major_Melmi_Harmmi_HarmMa_Modes.pdf A NewJazz subscriber, Mathieu, just made this fantastic similar ONLINE tool. Just drag the gear wheel on the sides and flip the tool with the link in the middle. mr360photo.github.io/KeyboardWheels/MajHarm.html A million thanks a to Mathieu!!! And a subscriber Jeffrey Kunka also made a really smart and more advanced interactive APPLICATION of the mode wheel, available for both Windows and Mac computers. It can be downloaded free of charge at modewheelapp.newpsyc.com A million thanks to Jeff!!! Enjoy Music :) Warm regards Oliver Prehn newjazz.dk
