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 ...

the diatonic scale; including the major scale and its modes (notably the natural minor scale, or Aeolian mode) the melodic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 6th and 7th ascending; the harmonic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 7th; the harmonic major scale, like the major scale but with lowered 6th
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).
[citation needed] The bass and guitar play the root (B) while the keyboardist implies the chords in the progression: B5, Bm7, Bm6, G/B, A/B. 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.
The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♮7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [2] [3] [4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees.
It contains all of the notes of both the harmonic minor scale and the natural minor scale (Aeolian mode) of the same root. It can be used on all three chords of a minor ii–V–I progression. It is the sixth mode of the bebop major scale: for instance, the C bebop harmonic minor scale has the same pitches as the E ♭ bebop major scale.
