Guess you're asking about MODES. They are derivatives of a major scale, each mode starting from a diatonic note in the major scale and going up or down. To play modes, start from a different note than the root and continue on the major scale to end on the same note you started with, an octave above or below. These are the seven modes derived from a major scale: Ionian - The major scale, Starts from the root. Dorian - Starts from the 2nd note of the major scale Phrygian - 3rd note of the major scale Lydian - 4th note Mixolydian - 5th Aeolian - 6th Locrian - 7th Modal harmony is the harmonic derivative of a mode. read less
