Modes Harmonized | Every Chord for Every Mode plus Chord Progressions | Ukulele Tutorial Last week we played through all 7 modes on the ukulele, so we have seen every single mode in scale from. In today's lesson we are going to harmonize all of them. That is the process of turning them into chords. And once we have seen all the chords for all the modes we are going to look at some suggested chord progressions. Why suggested strum patterns? The major and minor scales are very easy to create all these fun and elaborate strum patterns with because resolution is very easy, meaning you can use the melody and the chords to bring everything back to a C major chord for the major scale, or C minor for the C minor scale, and it will sound finished, complete, resolved. That is why we use the world resolution with music. When using some of the other modes it can be a little bit trickier as the sense of a tonic, meaning the one chord, home base, can be a little more vague. For example when playing in C phygrian it is very easy with a couple of mistakes to lose that sense of key and then all the sudden it sounds a lot more like Ab major. That is why we will share some great chord progressions with you so you can practice them, write songs with them, loop them and play melody over them and really do all that stuff to help you get to be more confident and competent with the modes. Alright, time to break them down!
