Now you are taking me back Fretsource. My old guitar teacher (bless him - he had to retire after a year with me!) talked about Modes and said about the Diatonic System (I had to go and search for the notes)
To hear how they sound, play these chords in a single key up the fretboard and hear the scale within the chords (Ha ha, he had a sense of humour)
I II III iv V vi VII I
Emaj/ Dm/ Em/ Fmaj/ Gmaj/ Amin/ Bdim/ Cmaj
fret3/fret5/fret7/fret8/fret10/fret12/fret14/fret15
The formatting on this site won't let me 'line them up' better, but you should get the idea (each chord played at the fret designated). Way beyond my playing skills to work that one out, but others may find it useful.
He also taught me the Amen Cadence (vi-I) ending which I now see is also called the Plagal Cadence, presumably from plainchant.
One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
