I think if you plan to try to "help" someone whom you already know really doesn't know the lingo, that it's ok to simplify it. We all know you're smart... Ain't gotta try to prove it all the time.

LOL... It's like, why even bother... TalkBass - Where everybody knows everything...
Repeating what already has been said above
Eb major scale is Eb F G Ab Bb C D and starting on G is the iii mode, i.e. Phyrigian.
I Ionian - Major
ii Dorian - the most common minor scale
iii Phryrigian - the "Spanish" scale
IV Lydian - The Happy Birthday Scale
V Myxolydian - The Dom 5 scale
VI Aeolian - The Natural Minor scale
VII Locrian The half diminsihed scale.
If we go in order of how the modes progress from least to most flatted we have a order which is very useful to practice to memorize the modes: (As well as going in 4ths as mentioned earlier)
IV Lydian (#4)
I Major (We flatted the 4 on the Lydian)
V Mixolydian (we flatted the maj 7 on the major scale)
ii Dorian, (we flatted the 3 on the Mixolydian and made a m7 scale
viii Aeolian (we flatted the 6 on the dorian and made the natual minor scale)
iii Phrygian (we flatted the 2 on the Aeolian)
vii Locrian (we flatted the
If you do the next flat in the sequence, what scale would you have?

Naming the sound of the modes - we all hear them a little different. Lydian is close to the major scale, but, the raised 4th adds that little something. Some say it's the day dreamer scale. I do not hear day dreamer, or what ever that sounds like. And I've never heard it called the Happy Birthday Scale, however, we have to call it something, and Happy Birthday works. It is so close to Ionian/major scale that I always make it Lydian Dominant R-2-3-#4-5-6-b7. The b7 sets it apart from the major scale.
My two cents...
Sorry, I gotta completely disagree with you. This is in no way a minor scale. All common minors have flat 3. That said, the most common minor has a flat 6 and a leading tone. The dorian mode has neither. In case anyone is wondering, I'm talking about the harmonic minor scale here.
So it has a flat 6 and a leading tone too right? That would make it a minor scale. Otherwise, that would make it...Dorian mode...unless it has a flat 6 and flat 7 which would make it natural minor...or if it has a natural 6 and a leading tone going up and a flat 6 and flat 7 going down which would make it melodic minor.
Please quote the whole post. Taking things our of context does not help your argument.
This is awesome! TB gets more bizarre by the day... Most of it is complete ********. On a Galactic level. Please ban me now so I won't be tempted to come back. I can't take it anymore.
No need to argue. D Dorian is widely accepted as a minor mode.
So, to clarify what is turning into a silly argument. There are 3 types of minors.
1. The natural minor has (in comparison to the Ionian mode) a flat 3, a flat 6 and a flat 7.
2. The harmonic minor has a flat 3, a flat 6 and a leading tone.
3. The ascending melodic minor (the least common) has a flat 3 while the descending melodic minor has a flat 3, a flat 6 and a flat 7.
All of these are based entirely on the Aeolian mode.
