This is the most complete interactive guitar modes resource on the internet — covering all 7 diatonic modes, 42 total scales, the 5 Missing Notes™ system, and a live playable fretboard in every key with audio.
Most mode guides show you a box shape and call it a day. The Dead Sea Scales system goes deeper: every mode has a relationship to every other mode, and understanding those relationships is what lets you navigate the fretboard freely instead of being stuck in one position.
Bright and happy. The foundation of Western music. Start here.
Minor but hopeful. Raised 6th. Jazz, blues, soul, funk.
Dark and Spanish. ♭2 defines it. Flamenco and metal.
Dreamy and floating. ♯4 is the magic note. Film scores.
Bluesy and rock. Major with ♭7. Sweet Home Alabama.
Sad and emotional. Three flats vs major. Classic minor.
Dark and unstable. ♭5 creates restlessness. Extreme tension.
The 7 diatonic modes only use 7 of the 12 available notes. The 5 Missing Notes™ system by Christopher Dean maps what happens when you add each of the 5 chromatic notes back in — generating 35 additional scales and 42 total modes. This is the complete system that no other guitar resource covers.
