Improv in the E Dorian Mode

It sounds like halo because Marty O'donnell played the original halo theme in e Dorian

[felipescalador]

@iknowhowtobenerd great share! Now I am going to try to sound like halo

[WilliamKillsEm]

OMG halo it sounds like halo, halo halo halo!!! lol btw john you suck at guitar and this proof that you need a keytar.

I agree with spundeman, definitely epic-sounding. I love this, it's so relaxing to hear. Your playing is awesome!

[spundeman]

the dorian mode is the best mode. I love it. I want to write everything in dorian. it's so amazing/epic sounding.

I just love the i - IV chord progression that you can do with dorian. it's the coolest thing. I like modulating from dorian to other modes, like going from E dorian to like E phrygian or E minor. and then going back. ughhhh. I love music.

sorry, meant i VI VIIsus4

i like the I II IV progression. also quite nice if you include the dominant chord. check out my video called "halo music - original composition - complete". it's a piece of mine in C# Dorian
