i don"t know what kind if man can dislike this when this man give us a part of his time and knowledge. Thank you David for your time and awesome lessons.
Great lesson as usual. I have always had the insight of how those 3 scales are closely connected. Minor blues, minor pentatonic and Dorian. It is one of the most useful connections once you can see it clearly on the fretboard.
Great explanation. I've watched it three times and noticed something when you were progressing through the backing track. First with the minor pentatonic. Sounded good. Then the blues pent. Very nice, more soulful. Then the Dorian example. Every time I watched, that's when my body started slow-grooving. Couldn't help it. Couldn't stop it. Thanks for the excellent lesson.
David, I want to say this; I've been watchen dozens of guitar methods on youtube and, as I am from a different culture, I am looking for simple and understanding methods.I've chosen you to be my teacher for the Rock and Fusion teaching. Your make it simple, easy to understand the logic of the modes, scales and arps.Thank you very much and keep up the simplicity :-)Greetings from Egypt
You can also play m7b5 arpeggio starting from the root over a Dorian progression ( E Dorian...Em7b5 arpeggio & E Locrian pentatonic). Locrian pentatonic: r, b3, 4, b5, b7.
Thanks Dave. When I first learned the notes of the Dorian Mode, in a jazz book by Ted Green, it was in a corresponding scale called, I believe, the Minor Seventh scale. At that time, I found it very useful as a supplement to the Pentatonic Minor scale.
David, I have been longing to play diminished with my limited knowledge of theory......finally I don't have learn Jazz to play diminished.....!!!Thank you ... Your a great teacher.
You did a lesson earlier on whole/half diminished licks and another on the m7b5 arpeggio using the 1,3,5,7. I like how you got to the diminished arpeggio from the minor pentatonic in this lesson.
David, awesome video. Giving me a voice. What a great and timely expression for me. I know a lot of theory and scales. I think you are just what I need now to start using my tools. I'm taking private lessons and subscribe to you and Claus. You two guys are like my bipolar teacher. Claus gets me pumped up and motivated, you calmly explain how to use my " voice " my private teachers giving me the theory. I'm gonna get there. Thanks
Thanks David. It's been a while that I'm striving to mix jazz-type progressions with blues. So far, it's not too bad, but your vid enlightens a new path :) Thank you for the backing track, I'll be training on it ! Cheers & salut ! ;-)
Thank you for another enlightening lesson, Mr. Wallimann. Always helpful. This might not be the most appropriate forum for me but I have two quick questions for you: 1) I feel many aspiring guitar players do not really know what to study, or in what order. Should they start with scales? With chords? What comes next, etc. They lose focus or waste too much time on techniques that are beyond their capabilities whereas if they had a sort of guide they would progress faster on the instrument. Would you make a video on your suggested 'path' of studying. 2) Your series "Ask Wallimann" was very good. Would you consider a "Wallimann suggestions" series where, perhaps, people could submit their videos and you could comment on things they could/should improve on? Similar to what Adam Neely has been doing on his channel with his "How not to suck" series but more focused on the guitar? You could comment on left hand techniques, picking styles, alternative scales that could be used on submitted pieces, tones and even effects (suggestions could include sponsors as well, I don't think people would get vexed). Anyway, thank you for the videos and for helping people all over the globe.
As it happens, I was recently thinking about this too but not in terms of melodies/arpeggios, just the concept of extending Dorian outside of its already super biased sounding 7 note structure and of course you're left with an extra chromatic no matter what note you add. I was taking into account spacing/voicing but also color of the note itself onto Dorian, and found that maybe the flat 5 would sound the least harsh as opposed to the major 3rd or flat 6 which I had already experimented with before. Still soooorta think you can get away with a major 3rd sometimes as I reckon it's easiest to hide but maybe the flat 5 is I dunno. Sometimes you'll hear musicians shred and a quick major 3rd pops in over Dorian and it's like you don't even notice it. Bizarrely sometimes I hear Dorian and think I'm listening to a major chord with that 6th against the minor 3rd, it's as if the more present that 6th is the more major it sounds, food for thought perhaps.
Ha! I heard it at least twice on this vid (the second one round 10:30!) ! The Walliman reversebend! very unique and very tasty! Govan and Miller are doing a similar type of bending here and there but not like you! Cool!
Great Lesson, tremendous tasty player. Question. In addition to your chops and playing I would appreciate info regarding your effects gear. Thanks again, Mike
This is very informative but I have to say I am confused with all the materials out there on guitar instruction. I am a beginner at zero level. Can you please suggest a course of instruction to follow as a beginner?I wish to be able to do what you are doing here. You are great. Thanks.
Nice sounds .... I am on a Carlos Santana addiction right now. Love the Dorian. Been building on this by ear.. glad this lesson really fits my style and feel. Thanks great lesson.... I need to understand to mix these modes. Dorian , Minor and Blues...I play the modes separately pretty decent already but putting it together is tough without this lesson.?.and this helps...I was not working it too well. Does Joe Satriani use this? Sure has his sound but I am not that good ...yet. I really am striving for that sound...like your backtrack.

There are some very sad people on this planet
Thank you so much...i was struggling to find meaningful use of diminished arpeggio shapes, but this was very insightful. Thanks again.
that's legit sounding fusion right there! Love it so much david!
What a great video, thanks David. I have played guitar for 50 years (yeas old but not too old for learnning) and still learn from your videos.

10:27 is when it groves for me.....
That is one great lesson, I too almost had an exploding head situation with the flipped diagram but still a great lesson.
That was one of the most valuable lessons I have watched online. Excellent David, thank you.

I have known that diminished scale for years... now i know how i can use it thanks David!
Those solos sounded awesome!
David, I have been longing to play diminished with my limited knowledge of theory......finally I don't have learn Jazz to play diminished.....!!!Thank you ... Your a great teacher.
Hi David, This was really great. Concise, easily digestable tools in less than 12 minutes! Thanks very much for sharing.
David your tone in this is superb!
O...M...G
That's the sound I'm looking for since 2 years.
Many thanks, merci beaucoup tes vidéos sont extraordinairement bien faites et utiles.
You did a lesson earlier on whole/half diminished licks and another on the m7b5 arpeggio using the 1,3,5,7. I like how you got to the diminished arpeggio from the minor pentatonic in this lesson.
Thank you that was very helpful and the way you tought about modes is very clear and point to point that can be understandable.
Lovely feel and articulation on this one. Thanks for the tips. I am going to try it some of this.

Thank you!
Thanks for helping an old dog some learn some new tricks!
What a great lesson !!!!
Another great lesson. You have simplified it so well.
Whenever I see David's video , I hit thumbs up. 👍
Another great lesson! I learn something new every time.
Wow what a beautiful combination!
Great lesson! 😃 🎸🎶
waaooo i've been years find this kind of scale, thanks David for giving big lesson
Thanks David. It's been a while that I'm striving to mix jazz-type progressions with blues. So far, it's not too bad, but your vid enlightens a new path :) Thank you for the backing track, I'll be training on it ! Cheers & salut ! ;-)
Lovely playing and really useful lesson. Thank you
Super helpful David! Thank you so much ...
Hey David can you please make a lesson about chords modal interchange and how to solo over them
Well, the lesson is very good and interesting, but the flipped diagrams give me a headache :-)
I thought it was just me - took a while, sounded horrible when I practiced, and then I went to these comments....thanks!
It forces you to concentrate better ;-))
i realize I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Cooper Kane i watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Alfredo Korbyn Yup, I have been using FlixZone for since march myself :D
Merci David, très bonne vidéo, très intéressante.
You are one of the best teachers ever - salute
Thanks David great lesson and great playing
Can you help with how you set up your pedal for those patches
Awesome solo!!!!
Pour résumer : superbe leçon, comme d'habitude ! ;)
Awesome lesson! Thanks David

What a fantastic lesson
Nice playing and tone..... sounds like Frank Gambale (who I had the good fortune of playing a gig with many years ago)
The intro sounded so good
Really cool ! Thanks Dave !!!!
Thanks David. Nice lesson, nice playing.
I found your tab hard to read.
cool sound like the diminished blues mix sound. heads up the neck diagrams was looking mirrored no biggie though thanks for the great content.
This is brilliant!
Could you talk on more about what your pick is doing here please?
Great and useful lesson. Thanks!
Anybody know where you can buy speed for your fingers?
Awesome lesson
Such a tasty intro that I started salivating.
I looooove this chanel! Thank you!!!!
Awesome really i never thought of that before i saw this video, really man, thank you so much for this tutorial
Great stuff mate, thanks for the cool tips
Subscribed! Great lesson, thanks David.
Awesome playing.
Thanks. can you please show us how to get the guitar sound from scratch?
Hot damn . I was like is that diminished. Wowzers. Thank yah.
Studio looking great,lightbulb moment combining scales,Robben Ford anyone?Thank you so much for your magic lessons,which sparkle with your enthusiasm.
Thank you David, very useful!
Brilliant lesson thanks for the advice!
Thanks David great lesson
Ha! I heard it at least twice on this vid (the second one round 10:30!) ! The Walliman reversebend! very unique and very tasty! Govan and Miller are doing a similar type of bending here and there but not like you! Cool!
Thank you!!!!!!!!! József Vilmann from Hungary.
A very good lesson made very confusing by inverting the tab pics!
I think i have to watch this video in a mirror... :oP
Another forehead slapper from da man! That's really going to add some new flavor to my playing. Thanks David!
Yes the inverted diagram was a little off putting . Great playing and such a great teacher. I signed up with David a ways back .
I spy the Vai jewel box. Mine was ruined in a terrible toilet pipe incident.
Great lesson as always David!
Bonjour, merci pour ce vidéo. Très intéressant!
Good ideas there to spark something new.
What do you call the minor pentatonic scale that has a 6th instead of 7th? I find that one very tasty and useful lots of ways.
Excellent lesson!!!!! Thank you
Great Lesson, tremendous tasty player. Question. In addition to your chops and playing I would appreciate info regarding your effects gear. Thanks again, Mike
This is a fantastic lesson.
That's a very good-looking instrument ..
This is very informative but I have to say I am confused with all the materials out there on guitar instruction. I am a beginner at zero level. Can you please suggest a course of instruction to follow as a beginner?I wish to be able to do what you are doing here. You are great. Thanks.
Thanks Dave....
just awesome.. truly the best
you are a GREAT teacher
I always have trouble with this composition. You played excellent. I try to get it though
Fabulous lesson. Break a leg.
Unreal!
How are you getting that sustain and voice.. No secrets please😒
Man nice playing
Nice sounds .... I am on a Carlos Santana addiction right now. Love the Dorian. Been building on this by ear.. glad this lesson really fits my style and feel. Thanks great lesson.... I need to understand to mix these modes. Dorian , Minor and Blues...I play the modes separately pretty decent already but putting it together is tough without this lesson.?.and this helps...I was not working it too well. Does Joe Satriani use this? Sure has his sound but I am not that good ...yet. I really am striving for that sound...like your backtrack.
Very cool and interesting video. Never thought of blending all those scales together...but it has to be a Dorian chord progression correct?
Nice as always
This is a wonderful lesson.. amazing, Can you do it, But with the Lydian mode?
I sorta stumbled on that diminished shape by accident while doing something in the natural minor scale.
Great video Thanks for sharing!
Really helpful, many thanks
nice lead on the intro
What is the name of the track?
thank you
i cna't find the free backing track :(
