Modes are basically scales that are derived from the major scale. The only
difference is that they have some flatted or sharped notes. For example: the
interval pattern for the major scale was R (root)-2-3-4-5-6-7-O (octave) and
the steps went W-W-H-W-W-W-H... The Dorian Mode has an interval pattern of R-2-♭3
(♭=flat) -4-5-6-♭7-O so its steps went W-H-W-W-W-H-W...
So guess what... All of the modes listed below use the same patterns!! The
only other difference is where the root note is... You just follow the same
pattern but use a different root note... pretty neat huh.
