| Ear Training: Three Basic Chords in Modal Keys |
In this lesson, Flynn shows you the difference between modal tunes and major tunes, so that you can begin to associate the sounds of modal melodies with chord changes. He starts by playing “The Famous Ballymote” on the mandolin and explaining the difference between a modal scale and a major scale. Then he takes through the common modal chord changes (I, IV, ♭VII) in the keys of D and A. Use this Spotify Playlist to practice backing up tunes in modal keys.
