The Dorian mode is the most common sound over minor chords and is useful for soloing over minor chords. The Dorian mode's unique finger patterns introduce economy or speed picking. Part 1 covers explanations of the Dorian mode with four different fingering combinations with 4 different exercises to help you master these patterns. Even though the Dorian modes come from the major scales they should be practice independently from the major scales. 33 minute lesson demonstrated slowly with fretboard close ups and includes PDF in tab, notation and chord grids.
