Scott, need some theory help please.

The way I read this link initially was 7 separate ways to play the Ionian mode. After looking at it, I think it's all 7 of the major modes in succession (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian) starting with the Ionian position. The links on the home page labled with the other mode names are how you would start your positions if you started with that particular mode, followed by the other 6 positions (I think). When you get the time would you give it a glance and post your opinion? I've been trying to locate scale and mode material for the 5 for a couple of weeks, so if I'm right on this one I hit pay dirt. Thanks.

Ouch!!
Ay first glance I can see run and stay away from this kind of scale theory...

No matter what the Mode is, there are only 7 notes per scale..
Using 4 note per string progressions is VERY negative...

Take the scales and concvert them the 3 notes per string...

This will be the best way to play them and more efficiant and memory retaining way..
Aslo, Berklee teaches 3 note scales as well as GIT..

This 4 note per string stuff is very bad..

Heres and example of the Ionian major scale mode ( the pattern is universal for any key)

This one id in the key of G:

E--------------------------------------------------------------5---7---8---
B---------------------------------------------------5---7---8--------------
G---------------------------------------4---5---7--------------------------
D--------------------------4---5---7---------------------------------------
A-------------3---5---7----------------------------------------------------
E--3---5---7----------------------------------------------------------------

Granted this is for guitar but you get the idea...

Convert all 4 note per string scales into 3 note per string scales in all 7 modes ...

You will be very happy!
