This lesson includes a backing track that is 80 BPM with the two chords, Dm and G going o=to a

The Dorian mode is so universal. It works great with that latin and latin rock vibe, a great example of that is Oye Como Va. It works great with moody, dark, melancholy kind of music as well like "Mad World" and it works great with the rock and classic rock setting as in "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors. You can even throw these ideas into your solos with blues as we can clearly hit in play in the solo to "Before You Accuse Me" by Eric Clapton on the live album when he opens up with some killer double stops built of E Dorian. It is extremely versatile... so what is the problem with it? One is it is a mode and people get scared of them just by hearing the name. Don't worry! You already use modes if you use the minor scale. The minor scale is a mode of the major scale built of the 6th degree, that is why A minor and C major have the same notes, because A minor is a mode of C major! You are already using the concepts so don't get scared by them. Musically one of the things people struggle with is how to bring the color and the flavor of the mode out of it and the other one is people sometimes have the tendency to lose key or lose the feel of the modal harmony. It is pretty easy to make D Dorian sound like C Ionian, aka C Major, because the both have the same notes. So, how you do it? 1. Emphasize the color toes, really the magic note here is the 6th. We are working with D minor, so the 6th tone is the B note. By playing a Dm G progression we can hit the flavor even harder because the G chord has a B note in it. One way that I've learned to make your chord progressions sound more modal is to use chords that have the magic note in it, in this case the B note. The lesson will have 6 different tasty licks for Dorian licks that are made to really show off the mode's, or scale if you prefer to call it that, its power.
