Woah. You're a real person, haha. First time seeing your face.
Lol yes! I've featured in a few videos, you must have missed the big reveal!
You're putting all of these videos together for one mode. Nice! 8-)
Yes some people like them in one video! Thanks for watching đ
Excellent video and very helpful as I'm about to compose a piece in A Dorian. Thanks!
You're welcome, good luck with your song!
Are you planning to make videos for every mode? Really looking forward to it if you do! Keep up the amazing work on the channel!
Thanks! Yes, currently doing a few major key videos but then I'll be back onto the other modes.
Great videos, thank you!
You're welcome!
Yess dorian, its brilliant, i have tried it several times.
Edit: your video is spectacular as usual đ
If possible please cover diminished scale, is it even possible to treat it as a mode? Since the first chord is diminished
Thanks! I'll make a note to cover it in the future.
@@WriteASong Thanks a lot man
Lydian is sharp 4, not 3
This video is about Dorian.
@@WriteASong You might have slipped up and said it somewhere. @ELLIOT8209 should give you a time stamp.
This is possible! Let me know if you find it.
â@@WriteASongI was driving whilst listening to this video hence I missed the actual time stamp where you said Lydian had sharp 3. Maybe someone else will flag it
bad melody O
