Dorian
OK. Now we're going to have a look at the Dorian mode. So the Dorian mode is the second mode. So the first one is ion, the second is Dorian. And the easiest way to think of this is just to play the major scale, but start on the second note. So looking at C major, if we use D do, it's quite literally C major, but we're rooting around the second note, the D. So the notes are DEFG ABC and D. So this will give a different flavor, a different sound. There's a way we can actually work this out. The easiest way to think of it is just the major scale but kind of shift it up a routing round another note. But for a major scale, we can flatten the third and the seventh and this will create a Dorian scale. So if we look at D major, so it's def sharp, G ABC, sharp, D just flatten the third, which is the F sharp to an F and the C# to AC or we can actually sharpen the six note to create a doin scale. So D minor has a B flat and all we have to do is sharpen this to A B. So let's have a look in uh Able...
ton Live a digital audio workstation just gonna write out ad Dorian scale. So what we can do is quite literally just right out to C major. So we have one so major. So of course, for a major scale, it's tone tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone semi tone, you're probably really sick of me saying that, but it's the easiest way to work it out. Of course, in C major, it's just the white notes. So this is the notes of C major. So what we can do is just shift them all up, start on the day or we can actually flatten the third and the seventh of the major scale. And this will make a de doin, you can hear it, give us different kind of sound or if we're in D minor, this is the relative minor of F major. So it means we have a B flat or an A sharp. So to turn this D minor into ad Doran, all we have to do sharpen the sixth note. So this is a dean. So it's kind of the same as the C major, but starting on this different note and this being in the same notes of the scale, but starting on a different root note and having this different root note makes such a big difference. So let's just go back and to see major sounds very different. Alternatively, we can just get the C and move it up to this day and just drag all these. So, so you can really create some different interesting music if we build the chords up from here. So we have 123. So we have the f then 45 of the A, it's, of course, it's different from the major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished major chords. We get of a major scale because it's a mode, it starts on the second. So we're starting on different kind of notes. We're starting on the minor. So it goes minor, minor, major, major, minor diminished major minor. So we have different orders of notes. So it's effectively the same notes of the major scale, the o the ionian. But because of the order, it creates a really different sound, it feels like it should be rooting around the C but as it's rooting around the d, it just gives it a different kind of sound. So this is the dory mode and like I said, you can flatten the third and the seventh to create do scale. If you're in a major scale or for a minor, you can sharpen the sixth or you can just play on the second note and just root around this second note. So it gives a different feeling, a different emotion around your scale. So yeah, thank you for watching this lecture. Next, we're going to be looking at the next mode, which is the Phrygian.
