Listen to the modern modal scales.

One other thought I didn't mention when I was recording the video: Mixolydian and Dorian sound very similar, except for the third scale degree, which is a major third in Mixolydian, but a minor third in Dorian. Don't get confused between the two!

The modes discussed here are:

Ionian
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian
