The Chord Progression Codex is NOW AVAILABLE! https://shorturl.at/bouLV
In this video we explore 7 different ways that the musical modes of major actually get used in modern sounding music, starting with some simple tips and ending with some more advanced concepts.

Here's the video I made for my Patreon subscribers showing how I wrote the Dorian melody. I did a poor job of describing this though - it's 15 minutes (not 20) and isn't primarily about melody. I do think it'll still be enlightening though!    • Writing a Folksy + ADVENTUROUS Melody...   I'll be posting more frequently on that channel as well with less polished content that is hopefully just as helpful as Signals videos.

If you're having trouble following along with this video, I'd recommend these other videos I did - they should fill in any gaps.
