      Absolutely!!! I have been thinking the same. Most tutorials focus on modes as scales, I suppose (and I'm thankful to people who make such videos) - but ignore how to actually use them. I completely agree. Thanks again.

    • @m.vonhollen6673
      @m.vonhollen6673 Před 3 dny +1

      Modes are just scales from starting, in this case, the major scale on another note. Play a major scale, WW1/2WWW1/2 steps is how you do it.
      If you just flatten the 7, you get Mixolydian (the 5th mode). If instead you sharpen the 4, you get Lydian (the 4th mode). Dorian, the 2nd mode, has b3 and b7; so it will work over a minor chord unlike those first 3. Aolian, the 6th mode, has b3/b6/b7, and is also called the Natural minor scale. Phrygian, the 3rd mode has b2/b3/b6/b7 and is the Spanish-sounding minor scale due to that b2. So 3 modes that’ll work over a major triad, and 3 that’ll work over a minor triad. Locrian, the 7th mode, has b5 so it’s the only mode that works over a Diminished triad (1-b3-b5); it has b2/b3-b5-b6-b7.
      Memorize those 7 formulas. Start playing over a backing track of a major/minor/or diminished triad. Sing along and learn to hear those intervals. It’s work but you can do it!

I'm noticing you're doing lots of videos on Dorian. Can you do a similar video to this but on Mixolydian, perhaps also on Lydian? It'll be great if you can cover this extensively and deeply all modes. Why are you focused on Dorian more? (just curious).

    And after playing in Dorian for a while, switch to Ionian or Aeolian to either revel in the harmony of the major or really feel the emotion of the minor. Great way to build/release tension between songs.

  • @m.vonhollen6673
    @m.vonhollen6673 Před 3 dny

    Here’s the 7 mode formulas but out of order. Ionian, 1, the major scale; 4 is Lydian with #4; 5 is Mixolydian with b7. Modes 2-3-6 are minor. Dorian is the 2nd mode with b3/b7. Aolian is mode 6 with b3/b6/b7. Phrygian is mode 3 with b2/b3/b6/b7. Only mode 7, Locrian, works over a Diminished triad, b2/b3/b5/b6/b7. - MEMORIZE THOSE 7 FORMULAS! - Play over a backing triad and learn to hear them.

  • @AndrewUnruh
    @AndrewUnruh Před 4 měsíci +6

    The Dorian mode is a palindrome in that if you reverse the intervals, you still get the Dorian mode. This is opposed to, say the Major mode, where if you reverse the intervals, you get the Phrygian mode or the Minor mode, where if you reverse the intervals, you get the Mixolydian mode.

  • @samrontos8806
    @samrontos8806 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Great work again Mike. One question: At 3:30 in your diagram of the Dorian mode chords, you signify the Key as D. Isn't the key still C if you are in D dorian?

    • @samuelemariani3876
      @samuelemariani3876 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Theorically yes, we can say that we are at the same time in A minor (wich is the the relative minor of C major) and all the other modes with relative Key... it all depends the way you want to "Think" your progression, because all the chords contained in D dorian are the same contained in C major and A minor, but just in a different position on the scale.The crucial thing is the way and in wich order you choose to use them

  • @deeveeuhs
    @deeveeuhs Před 4 měsíci

    Wonderful explanation! I have a question though, there’s a song called “fate” by H.E.R that uses that Minor 1 to Maj4 movement but then she sort of resolves on a Maj5… in Dorian that 5 is minor so what mode would that be in? The progression juggles from Dm - Gmaj and then resolves on Amaj. Any thoughts??

    Wouldn't call the second chord inKarmaPolicaD or IV, more an Am over F#, being a vi, so an F#min7b5. It share notes with D, but hasa way darker sound and the F# in bass is essential. Good stuff though

  • @DavidC2-fc7tj
    @DavidC2-fc7tj Před 4 dny

    That last progression, karma police. If you play the A Dorian scale over it just doesn't seem to work because of that flattened 6 chord, F major. But A minor scale works. But the chords line up to in terms of if they are major or minor to if you think in terms of A Dorian. (Except the borrowed F major). It's weird..

    I have not understood a particular thing: why is the 6th grade "raised", as we said at 2:54, even if we say that it can be derived by the Ionian mode by lowering the 7 and the 3?
    Moreover, why is the 6th grade so importante, as we pick up mostly chords containing the 6th?

  • @BlackMath69
    @BlackMath69 Před 10 měsíci

    The use of the word “key” is probably one of the more confusing terms in music theory. Saying a progression is in the key of F (F Dorian) is wrong in terms of key signature because the key is really Eb. It’s weird that we don’t have another term to address that… I’ve heard “street key” and “tonal center”. Essentially the only time we can really say a progression is in a “key” is when all chords are diatonic as borrowing chords changes the key or goes “outside”. The only reason I mention this is because many musicians I encounter at jams don’t know this and think “key” is just the first chord of the progression.
    So a song might be Am Dorian (key=G) and they will play Am (key=C). Sorry I just find it strange
