I'm not sure if I did this chord progression right...

I did four sections and i played all power chords.

I started in A Aeolain, and i played the R, 3, 6, 4 (A, C, F, D i believe). I kept repeating that for the first section.

For the second part i did V E Phrygian: R, 3, 6, 5 6 (E, G, C, B C i believe)

For the third part i did ii B Locrian: 1, 4, 3, 7 (B, F, E, A i believe)

For the forth part i did vii G Mixolydian 1, 3, 4, 2 3 (G, B, C, A B i believe)

Im not sure if any of the letters are correct except A, so if there's a contradiction its the numbers and mode name. I tried to play a lot of 3's and 5's to try to reinforce the mode, is that helpful?

Thank you everyone who posted in the recent chord pregression theards, those have really helped

your "letters" are correct for all apart from Locrian
1, 4, 3, 7 in B Locrian (key of Aminor) i think would be B E D A

but lets not forget that we're not playing notes, these are chords which means all of these will either be major, minor, diminished. i dunno about anyone else, but i find it quite hard to tell one thing from another musically when powerchords are being played, its hard to hear any resolution because im missing the third. maybe thats just me

It's not just you Nem. Without a 3 it really isn't a chord. It is just a convenient label. Without the 3 there is no feel for whether it is a major or minor chord. It's neutral.
