What is this poster?
It shows tertian harmonic chords (basic triads / 3-note diatonic chords) for each of the 7 modes of the Major scale
How can this help me?
- It allows you to quickly look up a required chord on any degree of any mode of the major scale - It is useful when you explore modes and want to create a modal chord sequence to play a melody on top of - The layout of this table is a perfect tool for Modal Interchange - a composition technique that is particularly useful when you are creating a harmony and want to deviate from the main key to introduce more colors into your song to make it more interesting and unique. E.g., when playing a chord sequence that is diatonic to the main key you can borrow a chord from the parallel mode

Feel free to leave a comment on the website or here, I would really like to hear your feedback to know what can be improved in this and my future posters. And I'm interested in all aspects, not just musical. For example, do you like it when it is colourful? Or would you rather prefer a more calm look? Do you like it when the guide/legend to the poster is on the poster itself or on a separate sheet? And if we talk about music, what other poster you would want to have right now?
And I would sincerely appreciate a helping hand in spreading out the word: if you like my work and find it useful, please share a link with your friends, make a re-post or give a like. That would mean a lot to me!
