G Dorian Guitar Mode: A Minor Scale with a Twist
- The Notes: G Dorian uses the same notes as G major scale, but starts on the second degree (G). This gives it a unique sound, blending characteristics of minor and major.
- Scale Formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 (whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half, whole)
- Learning the Scale:
- Think of it as G minor scale with the 6th degree raised a half step (B natural instead of B flat).
- You can also connect it to G major scale shapes by starting on the G note.
- Practice using minor 7th chord shapes like Gm7 barre chord, which uses notes within the G Dorian scale.
- Sound and Mood: G Dorian has a bright and jazzy minor sound. It’s often described as “happy” or “hopeful” compared to the typical minor scale feel.
- Playing in G Dorian: Use the scale for soloing, creating melodies, or composing riffs. It works well with backing tracks in Gm7 or Cm7.
- Famous Examples: G Dorian is a favorite among jazz guitarists. You can hear its influence in the works of artists like Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and Allan Holdsworth.
