Dorian solo Jam

[moopadoopolus]

Great chops!

[treyguy09]

sounds like poo poo

[Zeppelinrocker7]

YES zeppelin does rule! And sick solo :P

[jimdog1964]

Excellent! Good job...

[ZeppelinRules]

@jimdog1964

Thank you kind sir!

[saumier1]

where does everybody get this backing track?

Me want!

[danielghofrani]

That was sweet!

[maxomilian]

Although you solo with nice ideas in mind, you have to remember that less is more. You've probably hear this many times but listening to players like Wes Montgomery ,Scofield and especially Larry Carlton wil give you an idea of how you can achiecv a tasty solo without rushing into technicality. I too am a student but youll learn through time that you cantalways solo like vinnie moore, or greg howe without pacing yourself.

Keep up the good work.

[liamzuid]

i don't really get the modi,

I mean you can play all the notes on the exact same order as a scale.

But how do you play it whit improvising because i think it sounds boring if you just follow the scale.

[1bulldog998]

nice video,so your key would be C major wright.and it lookes like you were useing all postions in that C major key

[nine22dreamer]

@1bulldog998 since he said he is playing in A dorian then he is using all the notes for a G major scale since Dorian is the second mode and A is the second scale degree of G major. He is using all the notes of g major but the diffrence is the root note is now A and note G

hope this helps

NICE SHRED

[Fantasmo81]

Is there some kind of list which shows the modes and a description of their kind of sound/feeling/mood?

Dorian - jazzy, melancholi,...

...and all the others?!...

[frankzy89]

if pentatonic's is more to blues.

dorian's is more to what ? can somebody tell me? it sound like fuison rock..

[Linky365]

Dorian gives a jazzy feeling and a little bit melancolic

[walterppk1989]

thats not how it works. Dorian is 'more to' chord changes in the dorian mode. The pentatonic mode is the dorian / aeolian mode except stripped down to 5 notes which work over both of those minor modes.

[andrezecheverry]

Kinda funky and sometimes rocker... But is one of the most used modes in Jazz too

[ioannisdenton]

nice licks, nice guitar playing, but, your sound isn t that good, and i think you should pay more attention to the backing track. (not that i would play a better solo than you :))

[madbomber232]

I agree with alex345678. You have good ability and some cool licks but you need to pay more ateention to the backing and get the timing a bit better, and you'll be amazing

[ConstantineGuitar]

Ahhh sounds like Satriani

[Alex345678]

This is impressive. You play smoothly and definitely have a lot of technical ability. The only thing I'd recommend is that you try to fit the solo to match the b.t. a little more. But other than that this is definitely good guitar playing.

[ZeppelinRules]

Thanks man

[Alex345678]

Yeah no problem. What guitar is that?

[ZeppelinRules]

A Warmoth Soloist. I built it myself. Its got maple neck, flame maple cap on a mahogany body, and Dimarzio PAFpro/X2N pickups

[1strand1]

Nice playng, but little too long, and boring for me.

[IaNdAcRiPwAlKa]

Tht was really really good. have you got any advice for soloing in the dorian scale? should i learn all 5 shapes before tryin to solo in it. Iv basically got the blues and pentatonic covered, i need an interesting scale to learn, preferably used in jazz.

[ZeppelinRules]

Well the Dorian mode is a lot like the minor pentatonic, just with a couple more notes. Also it has 7 shapes, not 5. Its a good one for jazzy blues sorta stuff though. Check out the Guthrie Govan video called "Pirate Modes" for a good example.

[IaNdAcRiPwAlKa]

ok cool, also which is the first position, iv got a couple of sites that disagree on which posisions are the first, third, etc

[ZeppelinRules]

For the Dorian scale I'd call the root position the one that has the root note under your first finger on the low E string but it doesn't really matter as long as you know where your root is.

[nossgrd]

u can play the 5 minor pentatonic shapes starting on a b and e it's wierd but it does fit the key signature

[ConstantineGuitar]

Pentatonic scales have 5 positions where as Dorian has 7 positions

[ingeewung]

i have the same floating bridge as the one you have on your guitar in the vid whats you method of intonating and tuning you got any tips im at a loose end

[chriscoooley]

good solo, nice chops, its a shame the bt is so cheesy sounding

[ZeppelinRules]

haha yea...thanks man!

[DustinHsiao]

Hey, pretty awesome mate! (Sorry, that was a generic comment.)

Cheers,

Dustin

[ZeppelinRules]

haha no worries. Thanks man.
