Numbering Scales, Chord Progressions and Modes
In this guitar lesson podcast we take a look at the interval structure of the different modes of the major scale and how musicians would number chord progressions that are modal. This involves naming the tonic pitch in a mode and then numbering its other pitches from there with consideration given to any change in interval structure (for example, sharp and flat degrees). Musicians will usually call the tonic chord in a progression and then number the other chords by their interval relationship to the tonic. This information is needed in order to study advanced concepts like modal interchange and borrowed chords because you must identify chords that are out of key by how they relate to the tonic chord on hand and not by their position in their own parent keys. You also hear comparisons and analyze the difference between the plain major scale and other major modes and the natural minor (a.k.a. relative minor) scale and other minor modes.

Key Changes, Borrowed Chords and Circle of Fifths
In an earlier guitar theory lesson, we learned about chord progressions and how to play by numbers. Although a great approach to many songs, you may have realized that not all of them fit into this system of numbered barre chord patterns. In this free guitar lesson you are going to learn why. Here you will look at several related topics including: modulation, key changes, modal interchange, borrowed chords, and the circle of fifths, also known as the circle of fourths.
