  • actually d dorian is in c major because if u take d major and flaten the third and the 7th what do u get u get all the notes in a c major which is no sharps and flats if u do what i said and lower the 3rd and 7th in the key of d major u would have seen that there are only 2 sharps in the key of d they are f# and c# so what do u know f# and C# are the 3rd and 7th the same thing for the key of c major lower the third and 7th that is the dorian formula then u would see that your in Bb major (Bb Eb)

  • @timsmashuhoe correct

  • wrong d to d is not a dorian scale relative to c, dorian scale relative to c is based on Bb because c is the second note in the Bb scale and dorian is the second mode. so basically a Bb major scale with emphasis on c (home). if using a 1-4-5 progression you'd use C, Eb, F everybody is so messed up on modes. even teachers!???

  • @jobimdream dorian is the 2nd scale degree of a major scale. So yes, a C dorian scale is in Bb major key, etc.

  • Sweet! I'm actually getting it! Those words were like "japanese" to me before. Now they make sense! Thanks Walt!

  • @paradisoparadis paradis! happy new year!

see all

  • PRICELESS INFO. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!

  • @waltribeiro my explanation is a good one, you're convinced as everyone else that modes are the same as scales and they are not. fret24 was trying to point out that the tonal center doesn't change and that is exactly why modes are different than scales. most would think a dorian mode for the key of c would conist of the notes in a d scale, wrong again as most are twice as confused. the dorian mode of c consists of notes in the Bb scale. playing 6-2-5-1, 1-4-5...pick ur notes

  • @cindyvermillion cindy!!!!!! how are you?

  • @xGothicBloodx so confused. haha

  • @nose7962 no prob
