Jun 26, 2023 at 12:15 comment added Michael Curtis I think the chart you made for yourself is a good step toward putting all the pieces together. I suggest getting away from the scale rotation concept. And think of what Phoog called parallel changes, like how C minor can become C phrygian. I suggest that because it comes up a lot in harmony. Example, the 'neapolitan' N6 chord, which is often described as having a "phrygian" flavor, because it lowers the ^2 degree of the minor scale, which is the parallel change that make a minor scale become a phrygian scale.
Jun 24, 2023 at 14:33 comment added sjkn I think I'm in way too deep waters at this level of theory. I knew I wasn't at top level knowledge in music theory, but all this seems quite a bit above my level. The main reason I began to search about modes is because in some online lessons instructors talk about modes like it's the most easy thing in the world. There is so much background knowledge needed to comprehend all this. I really appreciate your answer and I'm gonna have to read it through many times over time to really understand it. Thank you, Michael!
