Dorian Lesson #2 - Combining it with your Minor Pentatonic scale

Print the article

This entry was posted on 5/22/2008 5:55 PM and is filed under Guitar Lessons.

In this lesson we are going to combine the Dorian mode that we constructed in the last lesson (Click here for Dorian Lesson #1) with our Minor Pentatonic Scale.

The important thing to remember is that the only difference between the scales is that the Dorian mode adds a Major 2nd and a Major 6th to the Minor Pentatonic scale.  The examples below will help you combine the vocabulary you already have with this new sound.

In our next lesson I will have a transcription of a solo using the Dorian Mode/Minor Pentatonic combination that I played on a live recording of the song "December" by my band "Felt".  This is from a gig we played in a mall, of all places...not the greatest quality but I think we'll get some good vocabulary from the solo.  Check it out here:
