nice backing track!

also, Dorain is actually a mode, not a scale :)

[QuistTV]

@pear500 Great! Really glad you like it :) the terms mode and scale can be loosely applied for the same thing..a simple google search will verify this :)

[TheRecluse26]

@QuistTV Sort of, but not quite. It's really confusing to people if you tell them that a mode is a scale, because implies that it's a new scale altogether instead of just a different relative position of a root scale.

[QuistTV]

@TheRecluse26 Thanks, I do find that modes are applied most efficiently when indeed seen as an entirely new scale altogether - just as a harmonic minor scale has the structure 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 - the dorian mode/scale would have 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7... once one has understood what a mode is and where it comes from, I suggest leaving all that and treating each mode as a new world of its own... but that's just my approach :)

[1madaboutguitar]

Why do people come on here to start 'theory wars' ... just tune up your ears, pick up the fucking guitar and PLAY!!!

[LoudonGuitar]

@QuistTV Agree completely. Learning it as a completely new scale is the most efficient way of learning them. I was taught it both ways and I guess it's preference, but different situations call for different thought processes. I suggest learning it both ways as I did.

[AdmiralDolphin]

Could you please take ALL of your backing tracks and put them on one album for around 10-15 bucks? I would most definitely buy that.

[MrMacjones69]

wouldn't E minor work with this as well?

[eddieisfiction]

@pear500 a mode is a relative position of a scale... a scale is just a specific main key and mode of a song. If a song is mainly in A lydian... its a lydian scale... however when you change notes for example to Ab phrygian, you are changing modes.

[Benayrsty]

@pear500 owned.

[Afayemi93]

Love this

[Dreamdancer11]

@pear500 Well technically yes but if you think that the natural minor scale for example is a scale in its own right(like most people do) then dorian and all the modes are scales too.Plus its beneficial to look them like separate scales also and compare them not only with their parent scale but also parallel....A dorian,A aeolian,A phrygian etc etc.Only this way you ll really start to hear their differences.

[rockstar0337]

@TheRecluse26 well if you tell a beginner it might confuse but other wise some one who knows all this stuff and more advanced will probably get the point if you say Dorian scale and not mode

[DCdaddy784]

He is correct when he says that each mode is actually thought of as a different scale itself. Although the 100% correct term is that it is a mode, A D dorian mode can be used as its own scale and many people actually say that using A dorian in that form is actually how modes are supposed to be used rather than just playing them as part of a major scale.

[akamarutv]

@QuistTV Yeah, the rules change with each mode.
