I cant tell you how many articles, and videos I've seen and was left still so confused, You my good sir have made it so well organized, and I love how you explained the sounds feelings as well as the graphics. You made it click so much easier, and thanks for the examples!
Thank you so much for this explaination sir this is the only video on youtube that I made a comment wheeew so nice know this for so many years God bless you.
As always, Mike, you did a great lesson. This channel will take off like crazy, how could it not with such great content, great visual aids, all of which go a long way to solidify the lesson. Thanks again and again.
Awesome - thank you! It’s definitely a labor of love. Finding a balance between posting on the various platforms. There’s much more to come. I sincerely appreciate your feedback - it’s very energizing, and I’m glad this information is helpful!
@mike very helpful especially for someone like myself coming from a different Indian music system. LOVED the analytical way of parsing this. Moving on to phygian mode video of yours. And ofcourse started on your Ionian
Wow - just found your page and this is outstanding. The visuals you provide and the examples and explanations are very clear and lucid, even for a beginner studying music theory on my own. Thanks for this great content!
Thanks, Ed! I definitely appreciate your comments. By definition, music theory is to "see sound." And I think these visual patterns are as beautiful as music itself. Hey, and as you're studying theory, let me know if there are any topics you'd like to see.
It is a shame this channel has this little audience for this great content. Found you in the recommended videos and I think is the best video on dorian mode I have seen so far. Thank you and God bless you my friend from your subscriber number 940. Merry Christmas Mike and I wish you the great lift off you deserve
Thank you, Ranio! This is very cool feedback -- and I'm very glad this information is useful. I'm wishing all the best for you in the new year as well. For short-form theory videos, definitely check out my TikTok @mikegeorge360 -- fun stuff there. Cheers!
What about the rules in the Dorian space? are the same as the Ionian (stability, change, tension)? How I know which chords I have to play and what path should I follow? Would like to know more about this. Thanks for ur videos!! totally amazed!
Thank you for the informative video. What I've been doing when playing Dorian in D is to play 12 bar blues with the chords D7, G7, and A7, I believe that T Bone Walker did something similar but with 9 chords instead of 7 chords.
Beautifully explained. I'm in the middle of writing something and find myself challenged to move away from derivative melodies so need a better understanding of modes, so Phrygian and Dorian seem the logical starting points. Scarborough Fair is an English trad song. Simon added a counter melody. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Fair_(ballad)
Thanks for the interesting take (and graphics) on the Dorian mode. Please consider illustrating/playing an example of a Jazz tune in the Dorian mode. If I'm not mistaken, All Blues by Miles Davis might fit the bill.
Thanks for your comment! I'll definitely look at some Jazz tunes, which I've been getting more into recently). "All Blues" may be in Mixolydian, though I'm working on videos for each mode. After your suggestion, been listening to Miles Davis all morning. So good!
Indeed, he was uniquely gifted. Attributed to him is the saying “sometimes the best notes are the rest notes.” I haven’t found many instructional videos that discuss rhythms (chords) or the temporal aspects of soloing (notes). But I’m really glad I found your videos on scales and modes!
@@ericmintz6689 Great quote. It reminds me of Claude Debussey's line that "music is the space between the notes." In this sense, I think Debussey meant the intervals, but music is essentially the audible convergence of space and time. Much more to come here on scales, modes, harmonies, and rhythms!
Great video! I don't understand so much about modes yet, at least including theory. It's surprising which songs use the dorian mode, like Mad World and Scarborough fair, which I know very good. I found out that I might have unintentionally wrote a piece in dorian mode, except that in my song the ii chord is changed to major for tension (in this case it's A major7 in G dorian). The only thing I don't like about your video that you play "Mad World" in the Gary Jules cover version, I love the original by Tears for Fears so much more 😉
Damn! This song is excellent. I haven't heard it in years and never knew the name. The movement when he sings "was I surprised?" is one of the best ever, frankly. Thank you for reminding me about this tune. I'll dive in further.🤘
Great video! Kind of new to modal harmony. I wanted to ask if there is any equivalent of the V - I relationship in ordinary major scale harmony? I understand diatonic harmony as moving through cycles of tension and release, through chord functions, from tonic, to subdominant, to dominant, back to tonic etc. How does this work in Dorian if there's no V - I relationship?
Thanks, Alex! Good question. It’s actually debatable. The functions of stability, change, and tension traditionally describe Ionian (Major) and Aeolian (Minor) modes. These same functions don’t directly translate to other other modes, like Dorian, since it lacks a V chord, as you point out. I’ve been exploring this recently to have a solid answer and will run the question by the Locals community as well.
@@mikegeorge360 Any updates on how to incorporate tension into Dorian? Personally, I perceive any minor quality tonic chord to be quite tense in itself because to my ear, the minor third of the tonic chord wants to resolve down to the tonic note. With that in mind, I’d consider the b-III chord to be pretty tense because its root note wants to resolve down to the tonic note
This is an interesting idea. I've been enjoying Dorian more and more lately, and should post a video about extended chords in the mode, specifically -- where some add more flavor and tension than others.
It's i-IV. Pink Floyd as you mentioned, and also a lot of funk and disco. And Thanks for mentioning "Oye Como Va" Carlos Santana earned Tito Puente a down payment on a house when Santana earned him a second royalty check. Seriously, check out the Tito Puente version.
Hey, Anthony. Chords bIII and bVII are marked by a flat symbol because these (major triad) harmonies are built on scale degrees b3 and b7, respectively of the Dorian mode. You're right that various modes share chords -- but the label for each chord is based on the scale degree of its root note in the underlying mode. For example, C major is the I chord in C Ionian (because it's built on scale degree 1), while it's also the bIII in A Dorian (because it's built on scale degree b3 in that mode), and it's the bVII chord in D Dorian (because it's built on scale degree b7 in that key and mode). In each instance, it's the same chord (C major in this example), but has different labels based on the context (key/mode). I have diagrams/posts in the community that explain in more detail if you're interested. 🤘
@@mikegeorge360 Thank you, Mike. Really appreciate you getting back to me! So if I'm understanding you correctly, because in D Ionian the third scale degree is normally F#, but in D dorian it's F natural, that would define that chord as a bIII instead of its typical iii?
@@anthonydelise316 Yep, and the major or minor quality of these chords -- F#m (iii) in Ionian vs. Fmaj (bIII) in Dorian -- is based on the different interval patterns of the modes (Ionian vs. Dorian) from which these chords are built.
I think it would depend on what notes the melody used. If there’s no melody and it’s only those two chords playing back and forth then I guess it’s ambiguous?
One question.. why does a Dorian progression sound so mellow if it's just a repackaged Ionian? (I could be way off. Apologies if so. Still trying to get my head around the modes)
Hey! This is a great question. An easy way to see all of the seventh chords is to view them in a loop. For example, between 9:27 to 9:32, the seven triads are shown. But to play each chord as a 7th, just add the next note in a counterclockwise direction. So, for example, Cm7 (i7) includes C-Eb-G-Bb ... Eb7 (bIII7) includes Eb-G-Bb-D ... and so on. I'll also post some diagrams in the Locals community that lays them all out. Cheers.
Good question. It's all about forming "tertian" intervals (or intervals of major-thirds and minor-thirds), which are the patterns of harmony. Here's a video that explains this in more detail: th-cam.com/video/uk2Whc3VJMo/w-d-xo.html
Now I am confused. I've previously watched another TH-cam on Dorian mode and that said the D Dorian is still the Cmaj scale, still only white notes, but going from D to D, instead of C to C. Can someone please explain? Link to other video I mentioned: th-cam.com/video/wMftXzZrv3g/w-d-xo.html
Dorian is the Intervals you find when you use only white notes of Cmaj but starting from D. D-1-E-1/2-F-1-G-1-A-1-B-1/2-C-1-D Now if you start from C instead of D it will become : C-1-D-1/2-Eb(flat)-1-F-1-G-1-A-1/2-Bb(flat)-1-C So only follow the intervals not the notes.
in b dorian the chords are like i-bVII-IV, which gives us the chords, Bminor, A major and E major, I feel like instead of approaching like this, thinking in f#minor is more easy, same chords are equal to iv-III-VII in F#minor and it feels less complicated, i cannot understand how thinking in b dorian helps us, how it is useful in a way? can someone explain please?
scarborough fair, this version, was by paul simon. but it's a traditional english folk song and not paul simon's, this is a cover of it. people do have this issue with led zepplin's stairway to heaven which again is another folk song by davy graham. folk music in older songs play more of a role but they don't have writers, folk music evolves so whoever made scarborough fair; we'll never know. we know who tried to make money off of it and that's paul simon but overall video very interesting and very good. trying not to be too mean because i can see you're starting out. wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for your comment. I knew "Scarborough Fair" was based on a traditional folk song, but hadn't known how much Simon may have revised it. Something I learned just now, though, is that Graham's "Anji" appeared on Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence" album, which is cool. Small world, and good taste in music!
"Sony Music Publishing announced Wednesday that it has acquired Simon’s catalog, which includes six decades of music, from his time in Simon & Garfunkel to his solo career. Financial details of the deal were not announced." From the Associated Press on 01 Apr 2021.
@@mikegeorge360 He learnt about scarborough fair when he was in Warrington and wrote “homeward bound”. simon was known in the folk community and it wouldn’t surprise me he would know of jansch/graham’s work and use it for his own because there is no real ownership. and its in bad taste to say this person owns this thing. that’s how polite musicians would go about it.
@@user-sz9ge9cx1p I didn’t know this backstory. What I mean by good taste is both your and Simon’s recognition of good music when you hear it. Graham is clearly an influential artist.

Why is it that the VII and III get the flat symbol? Aren't those already chords in Dorian's Ionian homekey?

You’ll find it in the Community link the video notes. 🤘
@@mikegeorge360 thanks mate
1:49 why do you skip every other note to find the chords? noone explains that..
Good question. It's all about forming "tertian" intervals (or intervals of major-thirds and minor-thirds), which are the patterns of harmony. Here's a video that explains this in more detail: th-cam.com/video/uk2Whc3VJMo/w-d-xo.html

Dorian is the Intervals you find when you use only white notes of Cmaj but starting from D.

Now if you start from C instead of D it will become :
C-1-D-1/2-Eb(flat)-1-F-1-G-1-A-1/2-Bb(flat)-1-C
So only follow the intervals not the notes.
in b dorian the chords are like i-bVII-IV, which gives us the chords, Bminor, A major and E major, I feel like instead of approaching like this, thinking in f#minor is more easy, same chords are equal to iv-III-VII in F#minor and it feels less complicated, i cannot understand how thinking in b dorian helps us, how it is useful in a way? can someone explain please?
and another question is why it is called bVII in dorian mode? it's getting it's root from the 7th degree and the 7th degree is not flattened
I'll post a video that explains how to identify the key/tonic of a song, while explains why. It has to do with which note is really the tonal center.
