Just discovered this lesson today in the morning and I'm working on it literally crying while I'm feeling how much I'm learning. Huge step forward in my process of leaning how to play piano. I feel that I am in a totally different level from yesterday. I've been teaching myself how to play piano for about 2 years now (consistently practicing practically every day) and since I discovered your channel my skill level has raised to a complete different dimension. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!! GOOD BLESS YOU OLIVER!!!

This is absolutely incredible! Only over the past 6 months or so have I been building up to the concept of "playing outside" in a smart, systematic way, and it can be kind of mystifying to hear highly skilled pianists such as yourself execute the idea with such elegance. This idea of gluing together modes with blue notes and pentatonic hand grips makes so much sense, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk it out and demonstrate. Wish I had you as a personal instructor sir!

The blue notes you add to Dorian happen to be all Locrian notes too. Hence this great dance between both modes here. Blues brings these modes together :) Also an occasional major third or mixing the 7ths would spice things up. Great video, as always Meistro.

In the other video, when he played mixolydian in pentatonic it sounded major, but when you added the 7th it became minor, so it was a turning point for me being able to understand it. Impressively succintly told, even musically befuddled people can understand them.

Fantastic. After watching your channel for a long time, I finally understand the grip method, and it's very effective. While visualizing the keys in the scale or memorizing the scales through practice is a tried and true method, the grip is a very convenient addition and a quick way to get started on creating a sound. Thanks for another great lesson.

I worked with a guitarist who'd played with James Brown 3 years, graduated Berklee, played with the Marine Band...... I'd asked him about the phenomenon behind the style a musician gravitates to....... Carlos Santana's Dorian, Al Dimeola's Phrygian, Joe Satriani's Lydian, etc. Now, since birth I was immersed in bebop jazz and world-class performers. Our home was always filled with the music of Bill Evans, Charles Lloyd/Keith Jarrett, Ron Carter, Gary Burton, Modern Jazz Quartet, and also Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever. While my mother was not a musician, she had HUGE influence on my lifelong musical experience....... from Jefferson Airplane to Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Barbara Streisand, Ravi Shankar and MUCH more, I was blessed with the stork's choice of where to drop me :) Since the first pluck of a guitar string 45 years or so ago, I thought and felt "in Dorian". I was curious as to why that was, that it was even evident in my band's 7-hour setlists/repertoire..........his reply "because you can't make any mistakes!!" still has me wondering...... was it condescending? SO, guru, thank you..........I have needed this lesson. Only 45 seconds in, and from other of your videos, I anticipate some ideas on how to get out of the Dorian box. In terms of innovative playing, I've found Dorian to be a bit of a constraint, or perhaps ranking with minor pentatonic in that sense. Of course, it's not about the "limits" but what you do with the "available" notes.

Oliver, on August 22 I was doing some carpentry and I brought down a hammer and 60 percent of my hearing was instantly lost. I had unwittingly placed myself inside an acoustic bomb, a small dumpster area with three concrete walls. I had no clue the amplification would be so traumatic. I'm 74!. Fortunately my hearing has mostly recovered and I'm much better. What an experience! I kept believing in my recovery. I've been back to playing and practice for the last two weeks. This spicing up of the dorian mode is just the ticket for practice today. I am thrilled to get back to my passion, the piano!

Great video, love to see how smooth you play! I like a lot how you are focussed on optimizations, how to make it easier. For me, a 'mathematical' approach works really well. Simply learning and remember things as they exactly are isn't for me, however the tools and rules I find much easier to remember. With that, I can safely 'forget' the exact notes as I can just reconstruct them.
