Building Blocks: The Modes

Major and minor are great, but they're far from the only scales out there. They don't work for every situation, and in this month's Building Blocks we're looking at some of their most popular replacements, the Modes. Modes are more than just a set of scales, though: They're all deeply connected to the major scale, and they give us some important insights into how that scale (and scales in general) actually work. Plus they just sound really cool!
