This tutorial shows how The Mode Decoder helps me bypas modal theory but be able to change the mode of ‘Praise You’ by Fatboy Slim from its original G Mixolydian mode to E Phrygian mode by carefully selecting from the palette of chords displayed.
Since the melody contains notes of the G Mixolydian scale (GABCDEF) by moving the root note emphasis away from G and onto E, the whole character of the song can be changed from a happy bluesy character to a Spanish / Egyptian sounding one!
