Here are the tabs for the lick I showed on the yesterday's video chat. Hope You'll enjoy Piking method is very important. Two down strokes close to each other are nothing else than economy picking / two strings sweep.

C-major and D-dorian modes have exactly the same notes - C D E F G A B C but different root notes ( Dorian mode is made on the second step of any major scale ). You can always find of which scale dorian was made by going 1 whole step (2 frets) down from the dorian root note. Examples: :: go 2 frets down from D and there is a C ( D-dorian / C major) :: go 2 frets down from A (dorian) and You'll find that it was made of the same notes as G-major What this mean in practice? You can use the licks and phrases You no for both scales, no matter if the backing track is major or dorian. You just have to translate depending on the backing track key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYG86v2zmpQ is in A-dorian but You look on the fretboard and it seems to be "blank" in Your mind for this one You can go 2 frets down and use G-major notes, licks, fretboard spots. Dorian mode is very usefull in blues, funky, rock and jazz playing...not only. Very often at jam sessions I hear people doing some basic mistakes...like playing the minor 6th while the baacking harmony is dorian. That's because very often when You ask for the key someone says only " X minor". You have to be very carefull cause in a chord progression like Am | D | G | Em | You will hear a dissonance on the D-major chords if You use regular (aeolian) minor scale. This will happen while You'll play F note that doesn't fit with F# from the D major chord ( D F# A ). So....If You ever feel something is wrong while improvising with Your friends be aware of "hidden" dorian mode...even thought someone could say it's minor. The difference is always on the 6th step that should be 1 fret / 1 halfstep higher than in the aeolian mode. Other 6 notes are equal for minor and dorian ( A B C D E ... G ). Do some experiments: Use Your licks for C-major on the D-dorian backing track...You'll se it works You can try this with a D-dorian backing track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gU6ToaKDbQ Compare how different mood is created with same few notes but used with regular C-major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBX_JO1riYY |

I always thought they were only available on the chat room screen until the next chat took their place. Couldn't be there so now I can watch..I always find myself using/trying ideas in my practice that you have mentioned in your chats Darius (eg.Making my own simple call and response phrases in blues from a few weeks back is always something I do now but didn't do before...) Plus a ton of other helpful things. |
