    This might be a stupid question. What's the point of deriving these modes from the Major scale, if, for example, E Phrygian is completely the same as C Major, or D Dorian, etc. I checked some other keys: for example, if we take E Major scale and build a Phrygian mode from the 3rd degree we get G# Phrygian and it is completely the same as our original E Major. Notes and chords. What's the difference then? Thank you.

      Hey there! It's not a stupid question at all, but a very often encountered one! The principle is the following: when you think D Dorian for instance, all the notes that normally make up the C major scale (the parent scale of D Dorian), are being judged in relationship to a new tonal center which is D. From a derivative perspective, which is the one I have dissected in this video, the chord progressions are also built in respect to having D as 1, instead of C. So whenever you have a Dm Gmaj progression - this provides the right kind of harmonic environment for the Dorian mode. Now, if you start improvising in D minor pentatonic over this - it will sound great, because D minor pentatonic is the skeleton of the D Dorian mode. If you wanna make things sound truly Dorian, add a B note to the D minor pentatonic (that being the major 6th interval). Now both the harmonic and the melodic contexts match.
      It is a matter of establishing a new tonal center FROM AMONG the notes in the mother scale and relate all the other notes to that new tonal center and then exploit the harmonic and melodic possibilities that arise. Please let me know if this is clear and if I can help further. All the best!

      @@CosminLupuMMGG Ahhh now I'm starting to get it. This part was completely new to me, and it changes the perspective. Thank you for such a detail answer! And for your videos as well, they are very instructive

      @@8w6good8 Happy to have helped! Also, check out my latest vids, as they are oriented towards framing the minor pentatonic as the skeleton for minor modes. Cheers!
