    Dorian mode comes from the province of Doros on the island of Crete and means gift. Beware Greeks baring gifts. The mode is soft dark and mysterious but the major sixth gives the gift of light. The Spartans were Dorian fierce warriors with long red hair and spears. They safeguard the kingdom of Sparta for Hercules who was gifted it by Zeus. Dorian.

      @@ThvonS That’s a really interesting question because he was given the gift of eternal youth and it is a dark and mysterious story. There would need to be that element of possible redemption or light for it to be a Dorian tale. You could say Mr Grey comes to to terms with his malefice destroying the picture and releasing himself.

    I have studied Professor Beato's videos now for 10 or 11 years and I while I enjoy every one of them, I appreciate these "white board" classes most of all. I'm not a guitarist so seeing these classes from the keyboard vantage point is just so much more helpful. Thank you Professor. I appreciate you and wish you continued success with your work.

    Ive been classicaly trained for 7 years, now im 15, i wish to be a pioneer of prog rock and i have 2 bands, a Yes tribute band, and an original jazz fusion band. Ive been listening to other bands (appart from Yes) like Gentle Giant, Genesis... and many many many and i mean many that use this scale. Bands like this make me have a dream, the dream to make music and for millions of people to love, yet bringing the complexity of music again. Thanks Beato, although you might not read this comment, i am heavily proud to comment this.

      I wish I was exposed and trained like you
      My parents love to play music and my mother’s side but they didn’t really had that interest or motivation to make me into music
      Throughout years, I develop deep interest with old music and I listen to it closely over and over again. It just gave me great feeling inside.
      But now, I will be planning to expose and play(piano specifically) at the age 18.
      Also, I discovered Genesis last year, incredible works.

  • @wprtube
    @wprtube Před 21 dnem +5

    You keep saying we're in D major, which is critical for understanding how the Dorian scale is built, BUT, there's a major disconnect when you write the numbers above the scale -- 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 -- because those describe how the pitches are altered FROM E MAJOR; you HAVE TO say that or it doesn't make sense.

    Its easy to just sat E dorian is the D major scale starting on the 2nd tone, but when you start explaining all the chords and progressions it takes on a completely different level of complexity that actually takes study to understand. Great lesson Rick, will be ordering the bundle soon. Your the best sir

    Rick, I have been playing piano since 6 years of age (I am your age). My piano teacher was a wonderful teacher; steeped in classical instruction and music theory. I picked up trumpet, vibes, and French horn at age 11. I made the critical mistake not continuing music theory study through the years even though I play to this day. I want to thank you for these theory courses because I have desperately wanted and needed informative and engaging instruction such as this. When I am able to find a job and have a bit of disposable income, I am going to purchase your Beato Bundle because I want your more detailed courses and also want to learn guitar; an instrument I love but never learned to play. I have short, stubby fingers and always thought the guitar would be too difficult to play. Thanks again for your wonderful instruction and informative artist videos.

    This is so cool- I learn these scales from someone else who just showed me the pattern and didn't explain any of the logic behind it. So, I'm looking at what Rick has laid out here thinking "Thats not the Dorian scale I learned, I must've been shown wrong." then I worked it out- it is the scale I learned, just laid out differently. When it's all played on one string it just seems different. The way this stuff simplifies down to the same thing- is so cool. It's just like doing maths where you learn to check your self by inputting the answer you got and seeing if you can backward engineer it back into the equation you just solved. I wish I understood how they derived the chords from each note though- how do they know if it's minor, major, diminished? I mean I can memorize the pattern for each scale but- there has to be some way to logic it out- right?
    Man- these suspended chords sound so good- this is what I've been missing. This lesson is like a huge breakthrough for me Rick- thank you so much. I'm starting to understand why so many ppl learn theory on piano to- I've got to get a good keyboard. I can already transpose what I know from playing guitar to the piano- it's simple. I can find all my chords and stuff- I just need to get my fingers used to the mechanics of playing. But having all the notes laid out in succession like that- instead of broken up over six strings that are redundant- makes things much more straight forward. Besides, Jan Hammer plays some of the best guitar solos I've ever heard- on his keyboard. That man is a freak of nature- he does things with his keyboard I can't copy with my real guitar.
