The Ionian Mode

The Ionian mode is the same as the major scale. In the key of C, it's:
C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C
or you could count scale degrees:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

If we build a chord progression using the primary chords (major chords) of this scale we get I,IV, and V (Roman numerals signify chords, numbers signify scale degrees) or the chords C, F and G.

If we use a C for the bass note for all chords we'll really get the sound of the mode (in this case Ionian) in our ears. Here's the progression (one measure each):

C G/C F/C F/C
