Good Website explaining Modes & their uses.

Been using this for my studies for awhile; figured I'd share it with anyone who wants to read. It explains all the diatonic modes, melodic modes, and a bunch of other weird jazz scales, how to use them, what chords to use them over etc.

Boy, for us intermediate jazz learners this really puts theory on the lower shelf. It's perfect and easy to understand.

The diatonic modes I've had down for a while, but the melodic minors have been difficult to know how to apply and when. Now I can easily practice it and know when to apply it.

Thanks for sharing!

Hold down CTRL and roll your scroll wheel at the same time (assuming you have a PC) I use Firefox but this or something similar probably works for IE or another browser.

The numbers refer to the notes; eg. key of C C=1. D=2, E=3. etc.

the "b" means flat: b7 = flat 7
