1.If I play g major scale starting on the 6th note then raise the seventh what mode am I in?

and (if your feeling brave)

2. what 'other' note is then sharpened due to that new mode?

anyway here is the answer

E harmnonic minor,

now lets break down that theory into 3 steps and see how all these modes are related

step 1: the notes of G major

G major scale (also known as ionian) has 7 notes to it they are as follows:

G,A,B,C,D,E,F#,

step 2: the aeolian mode (also known as the minor scale)

now lets start on the sixth note:

E,F#,G,A,B,C,D,

all we have done here is simply play the same scale in a different order this is known as a different mode, this mode (starting on the sixth) is the aeolian mode (also known as the minor scale)

step 3: making it the harmonic minor - last step!

lets 'raise' the seventh, by raise i mean move up a half step (i.e. C become C#)
now lets apply it to the minor scale.

E,F#,G,A,B,C,D,

becomes----

E,F#,G,A,B,C,D#,

raising the seventh of the minor scale makes it the harmonic minor scale. this scale has a dark over tone but also a sad feel to it. yngwie malmsteen uses it (as well as me) alot of the time. just about every classical composer used it alot also bach, paganini, chopin etc.

hope this helps you understand theory a little better but post if you have any other queries.

dude,

if you're not interested in music theory thats fine, just simply don't post there's no need to be negative at all. for example someone is has a thread entitled 'anyone stupid enough to sell their green day ticket'. now i would say the complete opposite why would anyone listen to such a horrible band. i know most people on this thread have not posted anything other than garbage which has nothing to do with music untill i posted something music related then all of a sudden ' hes posting something music related' 'STOP HIM'. You don't know maybe some people are really intersted in music theory on this thread entitled MUSIC FAQ not TALK GARBAGE. so i'm sticking to my guns on this one.

simply put:
NO I WILL NOT GO AWAY
