    This is so timely. Yesterday I was sitting in a cafe and they were playing Daft Punk's "Get Lucky". I've been working on your Patreon chord tone exercises and this sounded like a really cool progression to jam to so I I took a quick look online: it's in B Dorian with the progression Bm7, D, F#m7, E. When I got home I made a quick loop and started soloing with notes from the Amaj scale starting on the B. As I started to explore this scale on different parts of the neck, I found myself swapping between B Dorian and Bm pentatonic. Then I started trying to hit chord tones at the appropriate times. An hour later I emerged from what was almost a guitar trance. It sounded .... so .... good.

    Mr Stitch: I want you to know how much I appreciate your efforts. I teach golf and watching you teach guitar (which I love) has helped me teach my craft. Your passion for what you do and the love you project in teaching guitar has helped me translate and speak better to my students. I found you one day while searching for a way to jam better to Phish and Jerry Garcia. I have studied and tried to copy for my own enjoyment at home for years how these two played and your simple language and communication style have helped me understand and connect those dots I was missing for years. I live In Florida also down in Charlotte County and if we ever cross paths I would love to buy you a pint and say thanks in person. til then ill do what I can to donate and buy your things provided that I can afford from your downloads and such. Have a blessed day and know that people like me can really really appreciate what style of teaching you bring to the table! so so much love. FGI

    This was really a good lesson! You explained Dorian very well. I’ve been playing the guitar for a long time and know all of the major scales, minor scales and where to play them on the neck but never took time much to know what mode I was playing in which key. “The 2 of…” is a really insightful way to think of the concept of Dorian. 👏👏 by the way you have a new subscriber because of this lesson!

  • @lancelotlink6545
    @lancelotlink6545 3 роки тому +16

    Great explanation! I'd like to add another way of thinking about Dorian which really helped me a lot. I like to relate the modes to either the major or minor scales. So when I think Dorian I think minor scale BUT with a major 6th. That's just one note different and that simplifies it for my underdeveloped brain. But the main reason why I think this is useful is because I (like most people) like to play out of the minor pentatonic a lot. So all I need to do is figure out where that major 6th falls inside my pentatonic shapes and Bob's your uncle, I'm playing in the Dorian mode. I tend to think of chord tones to target too which you mentioned but sometimes I like to rock the pentatonic and just add a flavor note like the 6th to spice it up. Hope that's a helpful alternative way to wrap your head around modes in general.

    Hey man, I just found your channel randomly and I’m so glad. I picked guitar back after a brain injury and the way I learn, well it’s not easy. Anyways, could see Dorian mode was simple but for whatever reason, couldn’t grasp it when trying to learn. I immediately got it when you were talking about it, before you even showed examples. Have subscirbed, wanted to say thanks!

I was trying to research some Iommi scales and found this tutorial after Thespectorsound clued me in on Iommio's use of Dorianin the end of Symptom of the Universe, then I went on to this video and it helped explain it even further...sounds to me like Symptom of the Universe and Planet Caravan are both Dorian.

    @arthurblackhistoric Рік тому +1

    Thank you so much for explaining the modal system in the clearest most concise way I've ever seen it done by any guitar teacher!! I've spent years trying to get a proper handle on the Dorian mode and in the process I came to it from a different direction. I wrote a couple of instrumental guitar jam songs and soloed over the progressions using the chord tones of each chord to form arpeggios. In the key of D Dorian, I'd go up the ladder in the Dm chord tones, and down the ladder using the E major chord tones, often beginning on the sus4 tone of the E major to get the ball rolling. But that became boring, so I'd switch between the chord tones and the scale tones of the underlying chords in a two chord improv. I dunno if I'm making any sense here, but what I'm trying to say is that even though I have no formal music theory training and am entirely self-taught, right from my earliest beginnings as a guitarist, I still got to where your explanations on this video are leading. If I'd had this video for a reference back in 1973, think of all the time I coulda saved!!🙂

    It would be great to see how you would use Dorian to solo over the song Spooky.
    It's a song my band jams to but I always stick to E minor pentatonic to be safe. Would like to understand how to use Dorian effectively for my turn at soloing tho.
