Not the only way to do this, but quite a fun way into it I think

All the MM and ALT I've heard, I heard and continue to hear as LD. Part of the fun of being self taught I guess, modes as inversions of scales.
Choosing the "basis or reference" mode from which the others are numbered from... that just makes me wonder why if C major is the fundamental reference, why is it C rather than A, which would have been simpler to make the reference major scale note names ABCDEFG. Or maybe minor is more fundamental than major.
