Guitar Lesson Overview

This lesson first shows you the Dorian scale in the key of A. Then, it shows how the Pentatonic and the Blues scale relate to the Dorian, and finally it shows some examples of how you can combine them and improvise with them. This lesson assumes you are somewhat familiar with the different scales. Emphasis is on how you can combine them as you improvise.

Guitar Theory Made Simple!

Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Hi, the lesson shows how you can mix these different modes.

The scale is simply like the natural minor scale (Aeolian) but with raising the 6th degree of the scale.

Hope that helps.

My comment is about the
"Dorian Scale Video Lesson"
I checked my "Hal Leonard Guitar Scales Poster" and a Guitar Book by a Berklee College Music Graduate. Both the Poster and the book have the same Dorian scale. The Dorian scale that is portrayed in the video you posted is incorrect according the book and the poster. Please fix this or explain it to me.
