Masterclass Posted Dec 5, 2024 # Introduction To MODES [Randy Adams](/instructors/randy-adams) @randy ## About this masterclass **This week, Randy Adams will be introducing an approach to MODES. I know modes give many of us pause, but they shouldn’t! Modes are simply the difference between major and minor, and it’s the CHORDS that dictate the harmony.
