wh I am not sure what you mean by "chessy (maybe cheesy) American" modes. Modes have been in existence since the ancient Greeks developed the beginnings of what is now our tonal system. Thousands of years before the United States was even a country. There are modes based on "tetrachords" that are called "Greek Modes". They are very similar to what I earlier described as "Church Modes". What I am refering to are the modes that are most commonly taught and used. My teacher had a rare book he let me borrow which he never gave anyone else ;D that contained so many different types of mode's it wasn't even funny and I don't believe I will ever learn all of them but they are so much cooler than the common ones. There not really different but the ideas I take out of them are great ;D

its kinda weird do you guys think that if more people knew about these modes groups that are like ac/dc would have been as popular as they are becouse they basically are the only band thats put out the same album thirteen times.

also are these modes more common in music thats not commonly excepted in the U.S like bulgarian wedding music, celtic music, indian folk, and in terms of my generation most classical.(which i love all music) there a ton of questions that i can think of that come out of this stuff.
