Now, what if you were to use the same vocabulary- that is, use the
same F-G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F pitches (the F major scale)- but make a
different note the root? What if the scale looked like this: D-E-F-G-A-
Bb-C-D? If the D sounded like the root note (which is based on the
context of the piece), then you have an official mode.
So, you see that minor scales are also modes. The notes D–E–F–G–A–
B♭–C – D form a D minor scale. A mode is formed when you call any
other note besides the original root of the scale the root. The minor
scale is just one example of a mode, one that you already know. But
wait, there’s more. Because a major scale has seven notes, there are
seven modes.
Jadi, Anda melihat bahwa tangga nada minor juga merupakan modus.
Nada-nada D–E–F–G–A–B♭–C – D membentuk tangga nada D minor.
Sebuah modus yang terbentuk ketika anda menggunakan nada lain
selain nada dasar asli (root) dari tangga nada. Tangga nada minor
hanyalah salah satu contoh modus, yang sudah anda ketahui. Tapi
tunggu, masih ada lagi. Karena tangga nada mayor memiliki tujuh
nada, maka ada tujuh modus.
