  • While you can use the Dorian scale over a 12 bar blues... that's not the most common way I see it used.
    More often than not, I see it used over "bluesy" songs and not "blues" songs.
    Deja Voodoo by Kenny Wayne Shepherd is an example, along with songs like Spooky and Oye Como Va - not necessarily blues classics, but great tunes that come up often, nonetheless.
    So in this video I'll show you how to play it, and some ideas for practicing it and using it.

    Dickey Betts made terrific use of the Dorian scale, as well as Mixolydian. I taught five summers for a program called
    Day Jams, and the instructional guitar book they put together called Dorian scale “the Carlos Santana secret scale.”
    Good description. And Jerry Garcia was an avid player of both Dorian and Mixolydian. The connection is, all three of
    their bands were at the forefront of the Jam Band culture. Dorian scale opens up that minor pentatonic to more ex-
    pressive playing, as does Mixolydian, And a bit of purple owsley probably helped, too.

      I actually taught at Dayjams for 2 summers as it was a really cool camp! I loved how the camp encouraged kids to write their own songs even if they have never done so before! :)

    Great video! Warren Haynes is also an awesome player that uses the Dorian mode a lot.

    Great a new term for me "broken thirds". Been using broken thirds just never knew it had a name. BTW Modes Unleashed has really helped me in my musical journey. Thanks Griff!

      I know as 3th jump, because you're always jumping into a 3th interval

    Great lesson. I’ve been trying to incorporate Dorian flavours into my playing as Angus young does it on the likes of some live versions of Riff Raff. Bending the 6th up a semi tone to the minor 7th is such a great sound

    Thanks Griff! I have learned the different modes, the problems I have is ‘when to apply them’. Any suggestions would be great.

      The chords ( progresion) will tell you when to play which mode, listen carefully to chords

    @larrypower8659 LOOKING FOR BACKING TRACKS (Dorian and Mixolydian). Anyone have some YT links?
    Did you have backing tracks for Dorian and Mixolydian scales? I have been playing for years, but just started to learn scales and modes. I love Dickey Betts, Santana and especially Garcia.
