Lesson Info

Aeolian

The next mode is a Olean. This is the six mode or the sixth note of our major scale. So if we have a look at C major, we go up to six notes. This is a Aeolian. So one, 23456. So it's ABC DEFG A. Hopefully you'll recognize this already. It's the same as the natural minor scale. So these names have just been changed over the years and now it's just called the natural minor scale. It's yeah, a really simple one. So you can just play the major scale and start on the sixth note or you can just play the minor scale.
