Ionian
This is the Ionian mode, the parent scale, the king of all modes, the holy one, etc., etc. Whether or not you like a major, happy sound, this is the scale that starts it all. It is the most dominant in classical music and many other forms, as well. Technically, all the modes can be derived from one another, but we call this the first mode because it was used so much in early music of the medieval ages through the renaissance and classical periods.
This is the chordal structure for ionian:
I ii iii IV V vi vii°
Capitals mean that the chord built off that degree is major, and lower case means minor. ° means diminished. The example is 'Friends' off Satch's album The Extremist. He uses major scales quite well, as does Vai, though he tends not to be so straight forward with it.
Key = D major
