Dorian Mode
1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7
Dorian Mode is similar to the Aeolian Mode except the b6 in Aeolian is raised to a natural 6th creating a semitones between the raised 6th and (flat) b7th
Locrian Mode
1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7
The Locrian Mode is unique where nearly all scale degrees are altered by being flattened. The only degree not altered is the 4th which remains a perfect 4th
Phrygian Mode
1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
The Phrygian Mode is similar to the Locrian Mode except it has a perfect 5th as well as a perfect 5th
Lydian Mode
1 2 3 #4 5 6 7
Lydian is an interesting scale as it nearly identical to the Ionian Mode but with a sharpened 4th degree. This creates Tritone between the root and the raised 4th. This also creates a semitone between the (sharpened) #4 degree and Perfect 5th degree.
Mixolydian Mode
1 2 3 4 5 6 b7
The Mixolydian Mode is similar to the Ionian Mode however it contains one alteration. The 7th is flattened to create a semitone between the 6 and b7
