The Aeolian mode is the sixth mode of the major scale, that is, it is formed by starting on the sixth degree of the major scale. For example, if the Aeolian mode is used in its all-white-note pitch based on A, this would be an A-minor triad, which would be the submediant in the relative major key of C major.
[citation needed] From that, we can list the scales and the triad qualities and the seventh chord qualities in each scale as degrees of Dorian mode and Aeolian dominant scale (Dorian ♯3 ♭6 scale) and Neapolitan major scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯7 scale) and double harmonic scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯3 ♭6 ♯7 scale) and the two types of Dorian ...

A harmonic minor scale can be built by lowering the 3rd and 6th degrees of the parallel major scale by one semitone. Because of this construction, the 7th degree of the harmonic minor scale functions as a leading tone to the tonic because it is a semitone lower than the tonic, rather than a whole tone lower than the tonic as it is in natural ...
The Aeolian dominant scale (Aeolian ♯ 3 scale), Mixolydian ♭ 6 scale, descending melodic major scale, or Hindu scale [1] [2] is the fifth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale. It is named Aeolian dominant because its sound derives from having a dominant seventh chord on the tonic in the context of what is otherwise the Aeolian mode .
Ignoring the root, the scales used for each of these four chords would be B Aeolian (natural minor), B Dorian, C♯ Mixolydian, and E Aeolian, respectively. However, from the perspective of pitch axis theory, we consider all scales to have the B root - so we would say that the progression is B Aeolian, B Dorian, B Lydian, and B Phrygian.
Cross-note C: C-G-C-G-C-E ♭ C-C-G-C-E ♭-G, a cross-note overtones tuning; C-C-G-C-E ♭-A ♭ a cross-note overtones tuning that facilitates seventh chords. Cross-note D: D-A-D-F-A-D (used by John Fahey on the song "Red Pony") Alternative: D-A-D-A-D-F (used by William Ackerman on "Barbara's Song")
The half diminished scale is a seven-note musical scale. It is more commonly known as the Locrian ♯ 2 scale [1] or the Aeolian ♭ 5 scale, names that avoid confusion with the diminished scale and the half-diminished seventh chord (minor seventh, diminished fifth). It is the sixth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale.
