I have decided I really need to learn this stuff better and have encountered some confusion:
1) C Major (Ionian) I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2) D Dorian 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7
3) E Phrygian 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
4) F Lydian IV 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7
5) G Mixolydian V 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7
6) A Aeolian 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
7) B Locrian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7
My question is this, you can see how in the key of C the 2nd mode is Dorian.
Does this diagram mean that D Dorian is the C major scale with a flat third?
Thats how is appears to me, so if yes...Here is my confusion.
I have also read that each subsequent mode is starting the previous scale only on the next note.
For example C major scale = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
So Dorian should = 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
If this is correct where is the flat third?
Hopefully somone can see how I am looking at this and can help.
