every one of these scales is made up of some arrangement of the interval pattern of a scale (in the video he uses semitones and tones, where semitones are half steps, tones are whole steps) (whole steps are made up of 2 half steps, and you can think of it as a whole step being 2 piano keys above a note and a half step being just 1 piano key above) that pattern for major scales is wwhwwwh, the C Major scale being c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c for minor scales is whwwhww, the C Minor scale being c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b flat, c and this pattern of a group of 2 whole steps (ww) and a group of 3 whole steps (www) with 2 half steps separating the groups of whole steps makes up the construction for all the scales, different scales just start in different places of the pattern. So, because the dorian mode is whwwwhw, if you start on C and follow that pattern you would get c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b flat, and c and that's why C Dorian has a flat B and E ^-^ hope this helps! :D
hmm, the "dorian mode" example played around 3:15 is what Hans Zimmer plays in the ad for his Masterclass (when he says "this is a question")
I dont understand the usecase, isnt it just c major played over and over?
Thank you for making these videos
My pleasure! Really pleased you are finding them helpful.
Worked thank you alot! you're the best bro liked
Do you have a video or info on why a C Dorian scale has flatted B and E.
This is where I get confused
.How does that get constructed?
