Jake, I have an answer to my own question last week: When you play Dorian or Lydian mode, you can play the major pentatonic (from the modal scale) to get a different sound. This gives you three scale options to play over Dorian and Lydian. G Dorian: G Dorian scale (F major parent scale), G minor pentonic, or F major pentatonic (creating the following scale degrees: 1 2 4 5 b7) G Lydian: G Lydian scale (D major parent scale), G major pentonic, or D major pentonic scale, creaing the following scale degrees: 2 3 5 6 7 (no root)
Hi Jake, We came up with this chord progression and I'm trying to figure out the theory for it. The root chords are F, Ab, Bb, F. That's three major chords in a row, so I haven't been able to say what key or mode it is exactly. F is definitely the tonic. On the second chord I'm suspicious if it's really a Cm add 6 instead of Ab, but the emphasis is clearly on Ab. I want to call it Ab Maj 7 but then what's the mode or scale of the song? Anyway, I was wondering if this is a I - Vm - IV - I progression in F Major but with a borrowed chord of the minor 5th, or if there's some other way to express the fact the 5th is centered around Ab. Thanks as always!
