How can I work out all the relative modes ( not parallel ) for ‘Diminished whole-half’ scale and ‘Whole tone scale’?
On wikipedia it says ‘Whole tone’ has no ‘leading tone’ or ‘tonic’, all chords that can be generated from it are augmented and that it can only be played from two starting notes, but it does not list the modes of it. ‘Diminished ( whole-half )’ sounds so confusing as well…if anyone know anything about getting the relative modes out of these types of scales, please give me some tips, explantion.
C DIMINISHED ( WHOLE-HALF ) :
( has eight notes )
W H W H W H W H
M2 m3 P4 d5 m6 M6 M7 P8
Sequencer : C D D# F F# G# A B
1 2 b3 4 b5 b6 6 7
Traditional : C D Eb F Gb Ab A B
C WHOLE TONE :
( has six notes )
W W W W W W
M2 M3 A4 A5 A6 P8
Sequencer : C D E F# G# A#
1 2 3 #4 #5 #6
Traditional : C D E F# G# A#
The other one that is confusing for me ( but it should have modes i think ) is ‘Lydian b7’…
Its already a lydian mode, so just like harmonic minor is a minor mode, but can still have modes drawn out from it, it should be o.k to say lydian b7 mode 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…any idea how to name them?
C LYDIAN FLAT SEVEN :
W W W H W H W
M2 M3 A4 P5 M6 m7 P8
[also known as C lydian dominant]
Sequencer : C D E F# G A A#
1 2 3 #4 5 6 b7
Traditional : C D E F# G A Bb
