Day 17: Dorian Mode - 30 Day Guitar Challenge

Offering a minor, yet slightly brighter flavor, the Dorian mode adds depth and emotion. Don't believe me? Listen to Santana/Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va," or Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage," or The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." In today's lesson, we talk about how to use it to add depth to your playing.

Re: your "mistake:" my takeaway here is to be sure I know the chord progression and listen to what others are playing, e.g. bass, keys, for how they are interpreting the melody, as that note *may* work. To a previous post, i think that I'll play progressions to songs i like into my looper and wander around through different modes and listen for what I think works. Great series! I'm so enjoying it.

This does help ! Looking forward to the next lesson .

[@thankyouspaceexpert]

See you tomorrow! Great stuff!

[@rickrevoir1683]

The last two lessons were my favorite. I'm looking forward to the rest of the mode lessons .wandering is fun and music should be fun right. Thanks so much Eddie & Stringjoy for all I'm learning. Until tomorrow.

Loving these videos - such great content and quality! Eddie’s explanations are so straightforward, concise, and clear. I’m inspired by this daily challenge! Definitely ordering multiple sets of guitar strings from Stringjoy as a thank you for this wonderful experience and may even sign up with Guitar Mastery Method because I like Eddie’s style of teaching!

[@philtron1969]

Don't think that we haven't noticed that you've had a different, sweet guitar for every lesson! Glad to know I'm not the only one with a large collection!

[@OnwardAndEdward]

I have a problem 🙈 I almost made it to all 30 lessons with a different guitar haha

[@davidcole5183]

Love the beat Tele!

[@lawrence1960]

I’m glad you’re doing modes. I learned them decades ago and never really used them. But now I’m using them more. Of course my classical repertoire is loaded with modal structures. But I’m now really improvising there. Any tips on improvising is welcome.

[@lorenneufeld4306]

Liking these video Lessons a lot! A couple of things: perhaps provide a chord progression or two that would work well with each of these modes/moods? And: for a future video Lesson, talk/explain about the Nashville Number System for chords and how they are used in songs and music charts! Thank You! LhN

[@markmalanaphy3374]

great lesson,, good job

[@GC-nd1lp]

guys he played the lick

[@davidcole5183]

It sounds like it's part of some kind of raga thing... just a different resolution. Some songs use that.

[@prtlndtheband]

That's a beautiful mode...and that Telecaster sounds killer! What gauge are you using? I love how they don't sound floppy.

[@OnwardAndEdward]

I think on that guitar I have the stringjoy 9.5 signature set

[@stevensimon8391]

Does this work over any chord progression in the key of E? How do you know when a particular mode will work?

[@VeloVagabond]

No, E Dorian would have the same chords as the key of D major, but with Em as your root chord (the i - chord).

[@AldeanLeger]

Dorian is a palindrome scale
