  • Is Dorian mode just every white key?

  • @Bloodydigger

    No...although the Dorian Mode of D would be e,g C major scale starting on the 2nd degree note d played over D minor,...

  • Do you ever try to derive all the harmony from a modal penatonic. Limiting to yourself to the 3 note chords (in D-Dorian because i can do it in my head) - DFB, EAD, FBE, ADF, BEA etc?

  • @MichaelnChristine Yeah...I practice taking scales apart and then re ordering the intervals and taking the arpeggios of the scale and superimposing them etc.

  • @flatpicking Do you only approach it from a counter point perspective. Or are you also thinking in blocked chords?

  • @MichaelnChristine Both...everything that naturally develops...but always really just trying to get the Rhythm going....thats the most difficult thing...

  • Thanks for all the information. Very appreciated and inspiring.

  • @flatpicking I find melody really challenging with modal music. I tend to get into kind of a raga or even gamelan mind set. There is something about repetitive patterns with rhythmic variation that fits with modal pentatonic ideas. Longer, melodious ideas just...don't jive. Ya know? Or at least I have trouble getting there.

  • @caiomusic Hi.. I am playing 4ths in the bass using C dorian Mode [or Bb scale starting on C] These triads in scale order are..CFBb DGC EbAD FBbEb GCF ADG BbEbA I am also using Cm Fm and Gm..Pentatonics and arpeggios related to the scale e,g Gm7 Cm7 Etc....I hope this helps...

  • Congratulations man.. Can U give me some explanation what you use to support your idea about 4ths? How can I use it effectively? I'd to be aware what I'm doing in the moment the improvisation... It means, Are there rules to apply the 4ths or U just fell it?

    Could you help me?

    Thanks!
