Lesson 013 - Soloing with Dorian Mode
Lesson 013 explores this...
Dorian mode scale phrases, chord progressions and modal riffs will take advantage of the unique sound that Dorian's raised 6th interval offers. Each example throughout this Guitar Soloing lesson will make detailed reference to the various ways which the "6th" is applied.

Example two moves away from the bass-note drone approach (used in example one), and switches to spreading the color of this mode through its unique Major 6th interval. The second example progression focuses specifically upon two chords. They are the "Dominant IV-chord" and the "Minor 9th V-chord." These chord qualities and extensions promote the color of the "Major 6th" in the minor tonality.
PART TWO: In example three, the focus is on the three primary color-tones associated to the application of Dorian for both harmonies and melodies. These include; "Minor 3rd," "Major 6th," and "Minor 7th." In Dorian mode progressions and single-note melody lines, these three tones work together to establish the sound of the minor character for performing Dorian mode.
Example four, covers the unique application that the Dorian mode can provide over, "Non-Diatonic" minor chords. Many chord progressions in Soul music, Jazz, or Fusion will introduce chords that do not relate to the overall key center.
These chords are often called, "Non-Functioning," or "Non-Diatonic." These chords do not fit into the key. When these chords are either "Minor" triads, or "Minor 7th" quality, they can be covered by using the "Dorian Mode."

The chord progression in example four is in the tonality of, "C Minor." The first two measures (Cm7, F7), can be covered using the, "C Dorian," mode. However, the "Em6" chord in measure three is non-functioning to the established key center. It can however be covered by using "E Dorian." To play over the final chord in measure four, use "Eb Major" scale, "Eb Major Pentatonic," or "Ebmaj7" arpeggio.
