The major modes, also called the church modes, can be arranged from darkest to brightest based on their sound. Each mode contains three pentatonic tonalities that shift from one mode to the next in a predictable pattern. The video provides information about the seven major modes - Locrian, Phrygian, Aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian, Ionian, and Lydian - and encourages viewers to support further free musical content through small donations.
