Dorian Mode

Use the dorian mode over the minor 7 chord, minor triad, or power chord of the key that you choose. This scale will also work over chords in the major key two frets lower. Use A dorian over an A minor 7 chord, A minor triad, A power chord, or chords in the key of G major. I use this scale alot, it really blends in nice with the minor pentatonic scale. Alot of the great players out there do just that with all of these scales, they combine them with other scale types. So let's say you have a nice minor pentatonic lick, you could throw in some dorian in there or any other minor scale type. Try it you'll like the results, trust me.



Formula 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, b7
