Ionian Songs
With the Ionian mode so closely associated with the Major scale and our Tonic/Dominant harmony, it's hard to not be perceived as tonal vs. modal.
The leading-tone triad of the seventh scale degree of the Ionian mode is a diminished chord and rarely used in popular music — just bit too dissonant harmonies that are seldom encountered.
- Free Fallin' – Tom Petty
- I Wanna Be Sedated – Ramones

Harmonic Analysis Lesson Series
Updated: 06 Jan 2020
Harmonic Analysis ( HA ) is the process used to determine the harmonic function of chords within a chord progression. A chord progression is defined as a sequence of chords, each chord has a root and has a particular chord type. The relationship of a chord's root to a scale determines its function within that scale's tonality. Once a chord's function is identified, scale selections along with chord and scale substitutions can be made. This process is called Root Movement Analysis ( RMA ). This series of lessons are extracted from my book for use with individual private and on-line students. Each lesson directly corresponds the chapters in my book Harmonic Analysis for Scale Selection and Chord Substitution by Curt Sheller (me).
