(I am not right all of the time but I sure like to think I am!)

Here it is, quick and easy.

First one is Ionian. Regular major. "C as a 1 chord." (key of C)

Second is Mixolydian. This is Dominant, or "C7th as a 5 chord." (key of F)

Third is Dorian. This is 'Regular Minor' "C- as a 2- chord." (key of Bb)

Fourth is Aeolian. "C- as a 6- chord." (key of Eb)

P.S. - Bobby is right to ask us to keep it simple. These are the ones that you'll acutually use the most. How many times do you see a country song with a 3 chord? a 7 chord? You can play Lydian major over a 4 chord, just think of it as regular major with a sharp 4.

Western Swing in Texas is ACTUALLY played on
the Eb Aeolian neck

And Jimmy Crawford prefered the
Nashville A Mixolydian 9th tuning.
