In this video, I’m going to go over the Dorian scale (or mode). I’m going to teach you about the Dorian mode as a simple scale shape, and break down the fear and/or hesitancy you may have in learning these types of scales. I also want to show you some examples of how to use it when improvising along with songs. To break it down as simple as possible, the Dorian mode is taking a major scale and moving the tonal center to the second note of the scale. For example, to play the Dorian mode of the G major scale, you would start on the A note -- the second note in the G major scale -- and play the remaining notes in the G major scale, but you’d resolve your scale on the higher octave of A. G major: G - A - B - C - D - E - F# - G (octave) A Dorian: A - B - C - D - E - F# - G - A (octave) After watching the lesson above, you’ll know how to turn the Dorian mode & scale into something useful and musical, and how to improvise with it over popular songs like Moondance and Evil Ways. ***Don’t forget to hit the ‘subscribe’ button & ‘notification bell’ so you can watch the next video as soon as it’s released!*** What’s your favorite mode to improvise with?
