In my humble opinion, you do not need to know anything about modes in order to use them in real life music. All of us used modes, irregular rhythms, gap scales, polyrhythms, micro tones and syncopation before we were five years old. It's interesting to analyse music but _not_ knowing why we play certain things in certain ways doesn't _prevent_ us from making music. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
