![DORIAN SCALE - The 2nd mode of Major [MUSIC THEORY]](/img/n.gif)
Mr Beato. I absolutely love you for sharing your knowledge. I'm a 47 year old dreamer and i'm like a spunge absorbing your videos. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Grab a notebook and wrote it done. Practice it watching videos don't help
how is anyone downvoting this haha. This is a brilliant Masterclass. We are fortunate to have you.
Maybe the Phrygian mode is down-voting it!
dumb people who don't even know what a triad is
@Jefferson Sales
Please do not use the word "dumb" when referring to people who don't understand concepts. "Dumb" is a microaggression against people who cannot speak and should not be used since it perpetuates negative connotations against these people that are no longer referred to as "dumb," but use medical terms. Please consider who you are harming when you use derogatory terms.
run along to your safe space quick.
Constant Change Media for some reason I still can't understand , no matter how good a video is, there is always going to be some guy downvoting
So stoked right now. My kid has these toy cars that play a little melody and I figured it out on piano and thought the scale was goofy and did some googling and figured out it was D dorian, so I youtubed D Dorian and THERE'S RICK! Hell yeah. Teach me, professor.
You are one of the best teachers on TH-cam! I'm a bassist/guitarist and learn so much from your vids. Your style of teacher is just like my lecturer in my jazz master class. We are really lucky that you're sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you!
Wow. Rick I've known what the modes are for years but had no idea how much you could get out of the dorian mode/scale. Some really interesting and beautiful lines...
Just goes to show that studying music theory is a never ending journey. What a great avanced lesson!!!
I discovered your videos just a few weeks ago and love every one I've seen. You are great teacher with a deep insight into how music works and how to teach it. I particularly like your videos on modes and their related chords. I can't thank you enough for sharing what you know. Your videos always make me smile.
This is the best channel, Rick thanks for the countless knowledge and the way you share it. It makes sense to me.
I suggest you place a camera above you to make it simpler for some people to see exactly what you're playing.
This may quite possibly be the signal most profound suggestion I've ever stumbled across.
exactly !
I think the point is the listen more than see...
not trying to sound like a dick but i think it is best if listen and figure it out yourself it would help your ears trust me. also he gives you each chords name around the starting of the video
I understand the wanting to watch, but ears improve 10 fold if you force yourself to listen to the notes.
I put together a song on Native American Flute using Dorian. I was amazed at how well it was suited to the Native American Flute. Love the Dorian mode.
A lot of Native Navajo/Hopi music I've heard uses dorian primarily. Native music is hard to find a genuine example of though.
or as I call it, the NAF
Rick Beato is gonna mold a new generation of model EDM with these videos
Thank you so much Rick! You are a genius, a great teacher and musician! Every time I watch your video about modes I come up with a beautiful chord progression!! You are such a valuable source of information. It would be great if you do a video about movement of voices and a video about a harmonization of a melody would be helpful too
thank you so much sir, this is a game changer for me, this video literally took me to the next level and I'm not even exaggerating, even thought I'm a guitarist, I recommend this channel to every one who see this comment
To whom ever is reading this, I hope something wonderful happens to you today.
Tim Johnson you too:)
Yes it happened.... Same to you man
I think I got corona virus today. Will keep you updated. Don't worry.
False alarm, it was just a fever. So grateful.
Thank you my friend, Blessings. to you I sincereely hope that you hold on, i need you too
The voicing part gave an insight. While the mode gives you the general sound, all the little nuances like intervals will give you slightly different sounds while still keeping the general feel of the mode.
The etudes are amazing! Listening over and over again beats the sounds in your ear.
This is excellent for Jazz Harp, especially when I rely on my feet to change harmony. Very Harp friendly exercise :) Thank you!
just a general YES for jazz harp. go you
I m in love with rick..... Every video have a new and fresh lesson.... I m really happy that i found you🙏
So, for anyone watching and wondering WHY he's throwing in the sus4's, my only guess is that sus4 triads are sometimes used as alternatives to "normal" 1-3-5 triads. I *think* it's something used in jazz fairly often. If anyone has a better explanation, feel free to enlighten me.
Sus chords open you up the world of quartal voicing, sus 2s as well. When you start to think of every 1-3-5 boxed voicing as one grip. Then you can sus that by bringing the middle note up or down. A variation of the first grip, then you take that and spread it out into fourths! And you have another "grip" at this point you are connecting your ears to your hand grip of the chord in piano and you only think of the root note of the chord in right hand. Also stop playing octaves in left hand and start playing 1-7 or 1-5-7. This opens up your playing to vast dimensions of sounds. Your harmony is deep and com p lex yet your approach is simple and mechanical. I know i didn't answer your question exactly. But in my experience with theory and paino playing. Using sus2 and sus4 chords and then opening them up into quartal voicings (4rths instead of 3rds) linking grip of chord to the sound and not thinking of individual notes. I can play a beautiful hip voicing of any chord in any key without needing to be able to spell out the individual notes. And as an added bonus. Whe. You are suspending like this, you are always one note away from the perfect resolve of the chord. It goes deep but I hope I could shed a little light on some of the things that have transformed my playong from beginner sound to a more advanced sound. Its all because of suspended chords and stacking them in fourths.
Sus chords fill in the little holes the right hand note can leave
Try Sus2 😀
hey rick! really looking forward to your perspective on how to achieve colours like these on guitar... i can imagine it's doable if you're not unaccompanied, but obviously if you're covering full chords there are limitations... great video as ever!
I promise I will break out the guitar on one of these videos :) These type of lines do work on the guitar but are a bit harder to play if you don't use the right fingerings.
Neil I meant to get back to you from your comment on the last video. Regarding chords, there's actually a tuning I found that can play quite a lot of piano voicings on the guitar that can't be played in standard tuning, unfortunately you can't play whole 7 note mode voicings as there's only 6 strings but it's feels pretty cool once you get the shapes down for the ones that are possible. Explaining how to play all the different chords and shapes over text here is kind of difficult. I've been meaning to make a video on it for years now but never got around to getting a mic for the acoustic, and using OBS has its own problems too for some reason.. I'll figure something out eventually. If you're interested let me know.
Would also love this perspective as a guitar player!
Does your book cover the dorian voice'ings? These chords sound so cool on the keyboard, but like Noisynell, I would like to explore them on the guitar as well. Love the progressions on this vid, very cool sounding!
things will get nutty if Rick ever hits up the Gambale tuning lol!!!
You've got to love the people who down-vote/comment negatively on FREE tutorial videos on TH-cam made by talented people who are donating their time and abilities to the general public. Rick, your videos are always illuminating, thank you.
i learnt more in this video than all the others on modes put together....fantastic work sir!
The voicing and maybe even the key really remind me of a big "I diddnt know music could sound like this" moment when I was like 16. The song was Against the Grain by Acoustic Alchemy. I really think you could appreciate the music they make. Thank you for all of these videos, I've been learning and taking some serious notes. I printed out some blank staf paper for a string quartet and plan on writing a small piece to hopefully get, I guess, revised by someone at the local college. If everything does well and what I put on paper is, if you will, 'grammatically correct' (everything transposed right and notes where I really want them to be) Im thinking of maybe hiring some college goers as studio musicians for some music projects I want to do. Thanks again! this has really helped me continue my adventure with music!
Rick Butter Beato. Everything he plays is super mellifluous
You are so kind to give us all this knowledge. It is a real pleasure to watch this.
I was thinking you are the person to analyze Because by The Beatles. It would be fantastic if you did it at some point. Cheers
I wish I didn't have to have a job, and I could just hang out with Rick and learn music
thank you so much for your videos..inspiring ..i thought i knew a bit about the piano..i knew nothing..very easy to follow..your a great person to share this amazing knowledge..its going to help so much..bless ya..
God damn it Rick you never used my Dorian example, which here would've been GDFBbCAE, hah! The examples you gave were really stimulating too. I think this principal would apply to D Aeolian a 5th up from G, so the intervalic relationships stay the same only the G is now inverted up an octave (or two) causing it to be the 4th/11th of D Aeolian. Such a simple concept and extremely effective for discovering amazing chords.
Higher registers allow more notes to be clustered close together which is why you can get away with a lot of tensions that high on the piano given its range. I had wondered for years what caused that incredible rich harmonic effect but once I understood sound in terms of frequencies it all clicked. Great video once again, keep 'em comin'.
Owen- I totally spaced! Sorry! :)
I love the sound of the Dorian mode.
this is free information!!! its sad that some people don't appreciate it.this guy gave us something for nothing!! THANK RICK
Awesome lessons, again thank you..great for training your ears to hear these Dorian sounds!
It would really help to put up the notes of each chord, for a visual progression. I'm very visual, and learn things ten times faster if I can SEE it! Thank You. This was an excellent lesson, but I missed quite a bit of it.
Best ear training approach ive never thought of! props
Can someone please explain me what´s the difference between E Locrian and E diminished? Rick is laying it between 2:28" and 2:34". Thank you
"E diminised with lowered second" chord
He also had a "Bb Lydian" chord where he played the 1, 4 and 5 of Bb lydian (Bb-E-F) so I think he's talking about E-A-Bb when he says E locrian and E-G-Bb when he says E diminished. So basically a sus4 chord, but with the diminished fith from the locrian mode
Dorian is my favorite mode. I just love the minor feel with the natural 6. Lots of Pink Floyd flavors here, I see some Led Zeppelin too (not as much, but it's still there) lots of cool stuff with Dorian! Thanks!
I didn't know how I had so many hairs on the back of my neck - thank you, brilliant stuff
Amazing, starting to love this mode. I even hear in the maj areas some Charlie Brown, with mystery. Its has this gorgeous mystery feel. Or drama in each interval.
You're my new favorite youtuber. Thanks!
So good, so amazing.
It‘s so hilarious when you watch Rick‘s advanced stuff and then an ad pops up which wants to sell basic concepts...
You probably stay creative surrounded by such beautiful surroundings!
This just sounds amazing
That's a good class. I've enjoying the series several days :)
2:38 hold my beer
Rick These videos are so inspiring!!! I am a 4 String bass player and have been heavily into practicing triads with the J Bergonzi book (inside hexatonics) watching your videos and discovering the other triads (phrygian Sus and Lydian) is starting to overwhelm me in a good way.. as I love those sounds and want to absorb them all and incorporate them in my playing. I feel the triad concept applies really well to the bass function in music. My question is; any advice on how to approach learning the altered scale, dorian and any other scale with the triads that come out of each?? I can't really play all those voicings easily on a bass and they don't sound as beautiful as on a piano....But then again, I want to apply this knowledge for coming up with lines not chords...any advice BASSically speaking?
Thank you for opening mind!!!
I need to double like this video. Those chords are gorgeous.
Glimpse - Southern Soul -> fantastic Dorian sound
U da MAN RICK thank you for sharing
I was kicked out of Church for playing “Glory be to God the Father” in Dorian-mode (I hope I’m correct) a few months ago. I made an arrangement of this song and placed it on my yt-channel. I hope God doesn’t blame me playing it in a different mode it was originally written in.
@Michael C I sincerely hope you are right about that 😀
i'll be back one I know all the scale degrees in every key by heart then I'll come back to your videos to see if I can understand them
Amazing voicings, great colour!
ahhhgh. So many new chord words that I've never heard of. Definitely saving this video as a reference of homework I need to spend time on.
That was a sick jazz lick at the beginning
please do you have more etude for other modes, this is very helpful, thanks for the time you took for this. will definitely donate :)
Hi Joskun- You are very welcome! I will do more etudes with the other modes. Rick
Like a while ago I just screwed around doing haunted sounds on a synth. I had no idea till a hour latter a friend explained to me what intervals I was using by ear. Harmonic minor, but other intervals to. More so on the last piano part, I just overlapped tones that felt right?
Hi Rick, thanks for the lesson! I'm waching your videos, very happy to find you :-)
If it's not a big trouble, can you post some examples s ,modern classical or jazz where we can hear more of the dorian mode ? I'v efound some in the internet but most of them are in rock music..
Here is what i 've found:
Scarborough Fair- simon and Grandfunkel
Horse with no name-America
Smoke in the Water -Deep Purple
Surfing with the Alien-Joe Satriani
So what-Miles Davis
Another Brick n the wall Part 2-Pink Floyd
Fly like an eagle-Steve Miler Band
Eleanor Rigby-The Beatles
Riders on the Storm-The Doors
All of them are in the rock area...
So if you know anything from classic modern or jazz would be very helpfull to hear the dorian sound and get used to it..
Thanks, Rick. I appreciate this!
Thanks Mr. Beato
Such a complex subject made less complex to understand. Thank you for taking the time....your presentation is so enticing !
Thank you so much rick
Getting a Miyazaki and BotW sort of ambiance here! I'm so intrigued with this mode and your video was incredibly helpful!
Sameee
Rick, I really can't thank you enough for sharing all of this wonderful and extremely well explained information. THANK YOU! Beautiful! A question I had: where can I find that G Dorian Etude? Did you write that yourself? It's amazing!
hey man I like the intro
Hi, this might be a silly question, but I'm a little confused: why isn't F Major and F Sus4 included in the triads for G Dorian?
Did I leave those out? It must have been an editing error. Sorry!
No problem! Thanks again!
Rick Beato I was wondering the same thing. Luckily I found this comment.
Thank you for your videos, Rick. They are very helpful!
Cosmos Log wut?
@@tolstoy8124 lol. Right.........
You're awesome!
I've scored all the triads that fit in dorian mode, and beyond min, maj, sus2, sus4, lyd, dim and locrian there are (1 b2 5) and (1 4 b5) triads. Is there names for them or where to read about it?
Is there any reason the b7 triad is not used at 2:34 i.e., Fmaj? Is it because it's the parent mode, or could it be that it needs to be altered? Hmm. Absolutely fantastic stuff though, Rick 👍
I don’t suppose you ave the sheet music for your Etude and chord voice…ing? This video is more helpful then some of my uni lectures. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing as usual.
02:29 Are the E locrian and the E diminished triads different? Or are they the same? Many thanks.
Do you have a pdf or something of what you're playing on the piano? It's hard to understand this as we can't see the piano keyboard. Thanks
This guy is the first human iv not minded his sickly smugness cos he's good nuff to pull it off, and THEN some ... kudos
awesome rick! thx.
Thank you maestro !
_"She packed my bags last night... preflight... "_
I need this
also if you can make a video talking about benefits and disadvantage of certain instruments, in there of song writing and sound/esthetic.
Thank you. 😊
How come the sus4 chords are recited instead of the sus2? The opposite would seem more intuitive to me.
Hello Rick! Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge! Could you please tell us how to find sheets for these two etudes? Thank you!
I like to study modes one at a time(getting to them late) but just be Lydian for months, now been on Dorian.
Great video! Is there sheet music for these scales available? It's great to listen but it would be ideal to also see what you are doing on sheet music with grand staff.
So, Rick, does one have to "acquire a taste" for dissonance? Evidently I don't have it, at least not very well. Some of these note combinations are literally making me flinch when you play them, and then you listen to them and declare them "really beautiful sound." What am I missing? Have I just spent my life listening to music in a way that's made me a "consonance addict"?
This opens a new door to music for me. Thank you very much.
This is a brilliant video, thank you for making it Rick. Are all of the chords within G Dorian and other modes explained and outlined in your beato book? If not, could you recommend anywhere else to get this info? I havent seen anyone mention 7sus4 chords within scales/ modes anywhere else but here for example.
is the windows XP start sound in G Dorian? it sounds to me a little similar...
At 2:00 ,I can't understand why the sus4 chords are components of the scale , can anyone explain this to me ?
all the notes in a sus4 chord are still within the scale of G dorian. the chord has just substituted the 3rd for the 4th
Can you do that without changing the scale?
Yea there's no change in the scale. Think about the scale of C major. C D E F G A B. Csus4 triad is C F G. In this suspended triad the F has replaced the E (that would be the major third in C major); all the notes I've just been talking about have been from the scale of C major.
sus4 is essentially an extension to a chord, but the major 3rd is (usually) omitted because of the semitonal clash between the major 3rd and 4th.
What about the E locrian and E dim chords?
Any recommendations on all the scale literature? Ive plateau'd myself on the flat scales and ready to expand. Need minor work as well.
where do you get the sus4 from? why?
When you're playing triads, how come you go to the sus 4 chords instead of the next note in the scale? I've never done that or been taught to do that
I"m also looking to get some clarification on this
The expression voicing is just a simple method of modulating harmonies and phrasing. Not a "voicing" in the ontological sense.
Hey Rick! Your videos are always very helpful! I want to ask you two questions. I really love the theme that you play in the beginning of your videos. It would be awesome if you could brake it down for us! The second question is.. When you were talking about the diatonic chords that are derived from the Dorian mode. I was taught, the chords are Gm Am Bb C Dm Edim F. You seem to agree with that. The thing I don't understand is the other chords you create from the scale. Like the Sus4 chords. It seems weird for me because these chords are not build from thirds. I've studied some classical harmony and I've never seen those chords as derived from the scale. I've seen them, but just as ritard chords that want to resolve to the diatonic chord. What do you think about that? Also, you talked about Gsus4 Asus4 Bblydian Csus4 Dsus4 Elocrian Fsus4. The chords are built from a diatonic forth and fifth derived from the scale. However the Elocrian chord is built from a second and a fifth.
Hi Edwardo- just because a chord is not built in thirds doesn't mean it's not chord :) A triad is simply a three note chord. A suspended chord whether it's a sus4 or sus2 (which is an inversion of a sus4) are triads were the third is raised or lowered to the next scale degree. They are structures within the scale that are recognizable in their own right. Which is why you shouldn't limit yourself to the basic tertiary triads within the key. If I play an Fsus4 triad over a G minor seventh chord, I am implying a Gmin11 sound.
Great stuff as usual, but I don't understand the chord name Bb lyd maj/E. The notes would be Bb - E - F - A (E in the bass). The F is the b9 in E. Could it be called E7susb2b5? And would E7sus4b5 be an option, too? Thank you for everything.
Damn...read every comment, and still don't get the b flat lydian and e locrian triads. I would think b flat major and b flat lydian were the same? Same thing with e diminished and e locrian. +Rick beato replied to a comment that e locrian is e-a-b flat. How does he come up with that? Please help.
Love these videos so much, changed the whole musical landscape for me.
Hi! this is from years ago but I still hope you read this ... How would you say we can keep our Dorian to sound like I (root) and NOT II of a Ionian? Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge and ideas!
this really reminds me of the american beauty soundtrack
Hi,
why haven´t you incorporated sus2 chords in the part starting at 2 min?
Are your etudes in a book that I could purchase? I’m a film score student and I would love to learn your etudes!
I love this video ,simple and to the ponit....rc
