Hi Everyone,

Last week I got a lot of comments to the effect of "don't move on, let's keep working on Dorian." So I decided to do another lesson clarifying how to think about modes in general and then the last bit is about Dorian specifically. I made some cool charts to help show my points and I made a fun little GIF which I'll post on the community forum. ALSO - SURPRISE - I upgraded my equipment for better clarity, sharper image, and the ability to zoom in a little as needed in editing. I have more exciting education-supporting upgrades planned for the future, but I'm not ready to discuss them yet... hehehe. I hope you enjoy this lesson and keep in mind - if this is your first video of mine, definitely go back through the previous Music Theory Monday lessons. See Below.

As always, thanks so much for being here and I hope you learn a lot while you're here.

Watching this I think I recognize that “never my love” is in b Phrygian. Or at least the beginning is?

Nelson Sharp

New video quality is crazy good Scott! This lesson really clarified a lot for me. Will tomorrow's stream be morning or evening?

Matthew Juszczynski

No question, I was just commenting that these songs seem to be in "E dorian" as they both go from Em to A7. That was one of the takeaways for me from this lesson.

Haven't pause to make the scale dude, but I am with you. Promise! Nice lesson, nice pdf, nice effort from you to clarify even further. Congrats!

Brenda Thomas

You make the concept very easy to understand.

Jonathan Schafer

The thoughtfulness and simplicity you’ve put into these docs are the best I’ve seen around the inter webs. Thanks dude!

Guys watch with patience until 40th min. Pause, make a coffee, grab a pen and paper, then start again. You will understand everything in last 20 min. I promise :) Thanks Scott.
