The Modal Blues of Dorian

Much like the Mixolydian lesson, I think the best way to learn modes is to play chord vamps that capture the true sound of the mode. Each mode has a sound and when you think of the mode you need to think of the sound that it creates when you use it. This is as far into music theory as we’ll get in this curriculum, but if you’re interested in going further into the modes of the Major Scale, I’d visit the Music Theory sections of Guitar Super System.

Check out another backing track from the awesome Quist YouTube channel and enjoy the soulful sounds of Dorian!
