Part 5 of Jazz in A minor series. Covers theory and harmony behind the chord progression used in the series.

The modal pentatonics concept applied to the Dorian mode.

This first part will cover all 7 modal pentatonic scales. The goal here is to memorize the positions along with the sound of each ones of these scales. In the next part we will dive into each one of them.

Taking a detour from the normal style of lessons here on GMC, we are diving into some deep beginner theory: How chords are formed and why? Come with me as I explain this and answer other questions about chord formations and structure!

You will get a feel for how various scales sound in a practical context. Don't get intimidated by the tempo, just head over to the spoken video and start recognizing modes right away!
