The Locrian Mode

The Locrian mode is the 7th mode of the major scale. To play this mode in C, we must establish in what key is C the 7th degree. The answer is Db (Db, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, C,). So playing C to C in the key of Db will give us the Locrian sound.
Over a C bass note, the chord progression you will hear is the IV and V chords of the key of Db: Gb/C to Ab/C.
