Dorian mode is the second mode; constructed from the second note of the major scale. I provide a very brief explanation of modes within the below video tutorial. For an in-depth explanation that has received rave reviews on YouTube (and over 65,000 views) check out my 'Modes ~ What Are They?' tutorial.
Here is the dorian mode box. Play it from the 5th fret for the key of A; the key I use throughout this tutorial.
Notice that this scale differs from the minor scale by only one note. It's a hugely popular scale, used extensively by almost every player from the likes of Jimi Hendrix to Rage Against The Machine.
Grey circles represent root notes and the asterix denotes the start fret.
Grab your guitar, tune up and select play on the following video tutorial:
Here is the dorian section (looped) from my backing track Petes Groove, as used in the above video:
Petes Groove is one of many tracks you can play for free on my Backing Tracks page :)
