    E Dorian has the same notes a D major scale. Add the 2nd and 6th to the E Minor pentatonic also gives you Dorian. Finally, using G & A Major Triads over E minor also gives us that Dorian flavour!

    That's really good information. I've been struggling with the concept of modes and how to apply them. Love the method with the triad. I had to write the Dorian mode of E down and then I saw where the G major and A major triads fitted in. Brilliant

    just stumbled on this video while watching another guy working on the Dorian mode, but you covered a totally new field with triads. Makes a lot of sense that within those triad the 6 note stands out no matter where you play it or how you play it. I appreciate your insight. Dorian Phrasing at its best! Subscribed!

    I've long adjusted my thinking of Dorian as a kind of hybrid scale for rock and blues. Just add flat 5 to it and your blues scale is in there too. Works for natural minor scale too.

    • @LambAndTheDragon
      @LambAndTheDragon 2 роки тому +2

      ALL THE NOTES IN THE D MAJOR SCALE WORK over E Dorian.

  • @BBQ1953
    @BBQ1953 5 років тому +2

    To any who feels the runs were confusing, please download the scales he offers, learn their note sequences at each of the chordal positions on the fretboard, and practice some of the rhythms and solos (eg. Carlos Santana, Robben Ford, Robert Renman) that are out there. His runs in this video which might seem like a confusing fur ball right now, will make absolute sense after you’ve learned the modes for yourself. Learning to play guitar at Renman’s level of expertise is roughly the equivalent of learning a new language; but it’s a beautiful language.

  • @patrickhlavinka6364
    @patrickhlavinka6364 7 років тому +2

    Even though I already know what you're talking about I appreciate the easy way you teach modes. The easiest way for me at leas was to learn modes the way you're teaching. Not major scale #3's or that mumbo jumbo. It's a D major scale from the second note as the tonic. Boom. Super easy. This is how I explain modes to everyone who is confused and they automatically understand almost immediately. Guitar modes are all other scales that you already know. Looking at it in that way is much more understandable. Much easier to tell me it's a D major scale( which most people have already learned) and its played with the tonic from the second note the scale. Then anyone can figure it out.

    • @Dolphinstreets
      @Dolphinstreets  7 років тому +3

      However, you need to know how to use it, and you need to know it's a minor scale with a major 6th in it. Otherwise, you won't be able to use it effectively. The same goes for all the modes.

  • @thomaspeters5889
    @thomaspeters5889 4 роки тому +1

    Wether it is viewed as the second or the ninth...a personal choice? If the notes are above or below the reference point then it is called accordingly. It becomes very important when recognizing modes in relation to the major scale...or building triads and chords which you are so fond of doing. Inversions demand that we see it as a second or a ninth. I really enjoy your videos.

    Amazing how you use it, those slides and accent. I hope you can teach us how to develop your way of playing because though I know the modes but how to use it effectively to some jam track it will be hard for me. I've tried it many times but I sounded as if like I'm playing scale over the jam track. There is no musicality coming out. I hope you can response with this when you have time. Thanks Sir Robert.

    • @Guitarmon8
      @Guitarmon8 6 років тому

      What I am wondering is - what is the difference between playing in E dorian versus say... F# phrygian when they all have the same notes. How do you phrase and emphasize on the characteristics of E dorian that makes it sound like E dorian as opposed to the other modes with the same notes.

    • @stevek6549
      @stevek6549 6 років тому

      You can play F# phrygian or E dorian,There is no difference ,But the flavor of the scale is heard when The chord or home base is an E min or E min 7th.modes are heard best when played over the correct chord, Min 7th chords are best associated with Dorian,So You can play an F# phrygian over a E Min 7th chord or an E min chord and hear dorian and Yes there are certain notes that give dorian its flavor. Best way is to play an E min pentatonic scale and add the F# or add a C#. I like to put modes up against the pentatonic scales,Do a Run up the E min pentatonic and add just the 11th fret G string which is F# over an E min chord.
