Best teacher online. You not need any fancy video editing or what. The way you explain it is very simple yet easy to understand. Thanks for the lesson!
Allez j'écris en français. Juste pour dire que cette vidéo est absolument brillante. Toutes les explications sont claires et je suis abasourdi de constater la quantité phénoménale d'informations dans celle-ci et la simplicité des explications. Non vraiment bravo.
David, I simply am blown away by the quality of your work, the materials you provide in your free download and the clear, down to earth way you present. Thanks so much! If I can't improve my playing now, it's no one's fault but my own :) (No, not a sponsored comment!)
Great lesson, I've been playing for years but been stuck in the minor pentatonic forever and been expanding to dorian and it's really opening up my soloing and this lesson was really helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much ... I've been stuck in the minor pentatonic scale for years and just haven't been able to get into that zone of soulfulness when soloing. Just adding a 2 and a 6 to my solo takes me there. Thanks so much for this!
Probably the most valuable channel when it comes to pedagogy. Period. As a guitar teacher for intermediate to advanced level, i use a lot of playbak and ideas to explain modes from this channel. Also, the way to explain theory, musical ideas are perfectly balanced and to the point. Plus the solos , rhythm etc... sounds really great . Congrats on the work.
David! I've been watching your videos for a few years, but now I've signed up for your channel and started learning from you. The different moods I've already learned couple of years ago, but I couldn't apply them, I was just running through the next not, used simply the scales of this moods but now I'm starting to understand the concept you've revealed to us. A BIG thank you my friend!
Great lesson. Really practical advice that has explained so much! at last, a tutor that knows how other people's minds learn. Thanks very much David! You are the best tutor! brilliant! I need to invest in your online teaching!
This one of my favorite videos from you David. When I'm having a writer's Block issues I watch this and usually I come up with something interesting. Thanks David.
Really cool approach to dorian and the way of thinking in relative modes. Well explained. Really helpfull for developing new fresh ideas. Keep rocking, mate!
david you said not playing very well today.you play better than most on your worst day.. i have learned so much from watching your videos..thanks brother
AHAHAHAHAHA!............... Not Playing well today?... David, let me tell you something!!! This little video right here shows me that ""YOU"" need to be creating a record, get with a female blues type singer and get at least 6 songs done with your soloing with your form.....Please, if you haven't as of yet, then you need to get it done, it needs to be done and should be done! ! David, you are far better and mores so unique than most of the guitarists here performing on youtube. This is in no way slanderous towards any of the guitarists that are out here performing, of which many, and I do mean many are Fantastic,,,, But, it just goes to show that you have a very unique Playing skill that would be very much appreciated and very well received. God Bless you Sir! ..............Now David! , get cracking on the record young man!
I love your videos!!!! You helped me to break out of the pentatonic box of doom and really be able to express emotion through my playing!!!! Subbed you’re one of my favorite people on TH-cam!!!
This was a really nice lesson. I am a country guy so play almost totally major stuff most of the time. This was kind of new a lot of fun. Totally gettin' Rico Suave with my bad Dorian self. Thanks for posting!
That backing track instantly reminds me of 'She's Not There' by (The Zombies?), or some song by BTO. I remember humming to my moms vacuum cleaner when I was around 4 and thinking how neat it was that the 'warbling' in my head stopped when I hit the right pitch. I've been an ear player all my life and can pretty much play leads over anything due to the 'feel' of the progression and completely understand the 'attraction' of notes to the other and the relativity of notes within music. One is nothing without something for a comparison, as with most things. I always wanted to fill the enormous gaps in theory that I have as that's the true key to writing actual memorable music. It's interesting to see how much I actually know but don't know if that makes any sense. Been enjoying your videos for a few years now. Thanks David!
I think I have finally understood the modes. Thank you so much for your easy explanation. No-one else has explained this as wonderfully as you. I have just downloaded your pack and can't wait to get started. Thank you again. You're a fantastic teacher.
I appreciate what you are doing here. I used to do this back in my teen years - switch from "thinking" a line or riff, then playing off of that with the one scale I knew. Eventually lost my enjoyment of improvisation. Hoping you can help me rekindle that.
so much stuff in there theres a couple of years work just getting a hold of that lesson ..that's a very good thing but I need to sleep now ...brain exhaustion
Your backing track is in the key of Amajor? Or Aminor? I'm confused because dorian is a minor mode right? So basically you can't use it in A major isn't it?
Can somebody please explain if its sane to use b minor pentatonic over the progression at 14:15as David suggested? The progression seems to be Am - D-C-Am. IMO since the progression doesn’t even contain B minor chord in it, playing B minor pentatonic won’t always sound good. Ofcourse we can choose notes of b minor pentatonic scale in such a way so as to represent the underlying chord progression. But not all notes of this scale would sound good. e.g. if you play 5th of b minor pentatonic i.e. note F# over this same chord progression then it sounds pathetic. Let me know if I’m wrong or missing something
Salut David et avant tout, merci pour le plaisir que tu nous procures à tous... (Dans le tous, il y a mézigue, encore 13 occupé - je pars bientôt vendre mes scénarios de long métrage au festival de Beijing...) Ma semaine dorienne fut un voyage novateur, libérateur (DNA injection) Une promenade, l'écoute des intervalles - on fait ce qu'on veut (...) On cible la sixte majeure, où plus exactement, on tourne autour, on s"appuie sur la seconde, on reste en suspens - autres - on peut même II-7 / V7 / I Maj7 "phraser..." Whatever / At the end we have to go back home ;) David, entends-je le bon chemin?
Great video. I wish this video existed years ago when I first took a look at modes... lol. No... I just got confused for ages instead and suffered through it the hard way.

“Your mind creates the music, your inner ear- not the fingers”. That’s a really profound statement. Good stuff.
The more I listen to David the more I appreciate his approach. Great job!
Wow! Dorian to Phrygian to Aeolian! That's a game changer right there!
Great lesson, I've been playing for years but been stuck in the minor pentatonic forever and been expanding to dorian and it's really opening up my soloing and this lesson was really helpful. Thanks!
seriously a very concise yet extremely interesting lesson, so much better than majority of modal lessons out there that just teach the positioning.
Thank you so much ... I've been stuck in the minor pentatonic scale for years and just haven't been able to get into that zone of soulfulness when soloing. Just adding a 2 and a 6 to my solo takes me there. Thanks so much for this!

Very clear and easily understood explanation of the Dorian mode. Much appreciated David.
Excellent, as always. Learning a lot from this mode series, really looking forward to the rest. Thanks David.
Undoubtedly the best lesson....So expressive....Really helpful👍

So far the best video (in terms of if it helps with your playing) on dorian. Hats off and very thank you for sharing this for free
One of the best channels for intermediate/advanced guitar players looking for another approach. Excellent!
Great lesson. Really practical advice that has explained so much! at last, a tutor that knows how other people's minds learn. Thanks very much David! You are the best tutor! brilliant! I need to invest in your online teaching!
David the best teacher!!! Tnks
Really useful to help those who are stuck in a rut, playing the same stuff over and over again. Keep it up David!
Wow, you have blown my mind with your lessons

Jim B I have a similar opinion. .David is an extraordinary guitar teacher and player as well.
.. as you say, buddy....
Jim You mean get a girl blues singer and sound like everyone else, don't you think we have enough of that already? Middle of the road.
i just love this guy
Incredible lesson, thanks a lot !

Really really nice lesson man. Subscribed.
This was your most eye-opening video to me. Thanks a lot for sharing David, you're great!
That was phenomenal! really loved this video and you can't imagine how helpful it was for me, to take my first steps to unlock the fret-board.
Thank you!!
Priceless info here !
"Music from head to fretboard" I like the transition up the board idea. Thanks.
Very useful!!!. Thank you
I love your videos!!!! You helped me to break out of the pentatonic box of doom and really be able to express emotion through my playing!!!! Subbed you’re one of my favorite people on TH-cam!!!
WoW!! Unbelievable! I’d love to take lessons from you!!

Thanks for sharing your brain with the rest of us. Learning to shift from guitar normie to a master.
So many great tips and insights there, thanks buddy
dude ,,, you are a good teacher
So your looking at this as it's all coming from the g major scale ?
Awesome David, thank you so much for sharing this, it's helped me expand my playing massively!
I think I have finally understood the modes. Thank you so much for your easy explanation. No-one else has explained this as wonderfully as you. I have just downloaded your pack and can't wait to get started. Thank you again. You're a fantastic teacher.
this helped sooo much, thanks dude!
Amazing Teacher!!! and amazing guitar player! Thanks David.

This is awesome! Thanks for breaking it down like this!
Great lesson David!
Yo man this is good stuff. Thank you!
love all these lessons, keep up the good work ! , it would be helpful to briefly go over what the chords are in the progression
really awesome video, thank man
Game changer!! Big thanks.
I LOVE how u explain things! Not to mention great playing! Subbed!
Top job. Boss. Thankyou.
This was sure an eye-opener to me to expand my vocabulary by incorporate the 3 different pentatonic scales...Incredibly helpful. Thanks!
Good stuff. Thank you 😊
Wow it was a good lesson 😁
6:45 best advice ever if you want to take the next big step on your playing. Thanks for this gem @David Wallimann
Rock on David,Rock ON😁🤘
thanks for making these gold videos!
Awesome stuff!
PD.: You look like Felipe Andreoli with glasses
such a good video
That guy certainly has mastered the guitar playing face.
Hey David. Great lessons as always and even more for the lesson power packs.Dorian is a minor.
Super lesson !!!!! Yeah !!!!
Great lesson~~!!
Thanks for the light bulb moment ✨️
Thanks!
You are awesome!
PERFECT!
The 5 thumbs down have to be from jealous "teachers" you are a great disimanator and that's very hard to find .God bless
15:18 ^ Lydian
David, best advise ever, take the mode as an entity on its own. Do not relate it to the parent major key!!
@7:59 - As soon as I heard you vocalize those notes, all I could hear is the verse melody from the 1984 track "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama. lol
so much stuff in there theres a couple of years work just getting a hold of that lesson ..that's a very good thing but I need to sleep now ...brain exhaustion
very interesting video
David the backing track download isnt working for me.
Man... that backing track reminds me of "The Pusher"!!!
Riders on the storm...
So you could play second position minor pentatonic or first position again in the phrygian position? All the same notes
Anyone else noticing audio cutting out after the 0:10 mark when he says "pack"? Just tried other videos to make sure, not sure what's happening here 🤔
hi im late to the party! any1 hm? lol. excellent vids. new sub
Who makes those guitars? I Love the tone! Also, what was your 1st language? I NEVER pick up an accent.
Thanks! That’s a Vola Guitar. My first language is French.
Anticipate notes(sing them first
Play in one position then try same lick in diffrent places
17:10
Your backing track is in the key of Amajor? Or Aminor? I'm confused because dorian is a minor mode right? So basically you can't use it in A major isn't it?
Right! The track is an A minor vamp. Dorian is part of the minor fam because it has a minor 3rd
yoo might thx a loooooooooooot
Can somebody please explain if its sane to use b minor pentatonic over the progression at 14:15as David suggested? The progression seems to be Am - D-C-Am.

Let me know if I’m wrong or missing something
14 minutes in with the 2 fret up trick just blew my mind! Sounds like Pusher Man riff. 🖒
I have a coworker that blames the lack of coffee too when he fudges up.

David, entends-je le bon chemin?
No audio here past second 8 or so. (now it works fine 👍)
Great video. I wish this video existed years ago when I first took a look at modes... lol. No... I just got confused for ages instead and suffered through it the hard way.
