In an effort to learn more and more about music, I've attempted to create a chord chart relating each type under which mode/note in a scale it can be played under. What follows is an early attempt at such a dictionary or chart. I know there are others out there that could use such a thing. What I would appreciate is if anyone could contribute more chords or make corrections to any mistakes I may have made, since I know that many musicians here are quite well versed in theory. Check it out:

(using C Major scale as an example key)

I - Ionian/Major
C Major
C Sus4
C 6
C Major7
C Major9
C 6/9

II - Dorian
D Minor
D Minor6
D Minor7
D Minor9
D Minor11
D Minor13
D Minor6/9

III - Phrygian
E Minor
E Minor7
E Minor11

IV - Lydian
F Major
F 6
F Major7
F Major9
F Major7#11
F 6/9

V - Mixodylian
G Major
G Sus4
G 6
G 7
G 9
G 11
G 13
G 6/9

VI - Aeolian/Minor
A Minor
A Minor7
A Minor9
A Minor11

VII - Locrian
B Diminished
B Min7b5

Again, any additional chords or corrections are more than welcome.

That is great JTR. It reminded me of the best book that I ever bought about guitar: The Guitar Grimoire: Scales and Modes. Grimoire is pronounced Grem-war, which rhymes with Guitar. It breaks down just about every scale and mode out there, and what keys different modes go with, etc... Here's a pic of the book:



It cost me like 18 bucks at Barnes & Noble. I'd suggest picking it up if you're into scales and modes. And even if you have a pretty good understanding of it, the book does a great job of reinforcing the entire idea of modes.


Your chart looks great though, and I will probably wind up putting that into an Excel spreadsheet and printing it off for quick reference while jamming with friends.
