      ​​@Tom-yq8qyBecause E dorian is the second degree of D ionian (D major scale). And the B natural minor scale is the relative minor (6th degree) of D major (that means it has the same notes). So when you play B minor pentatonic over an E chord it sounds like E dorian pentatonic (same notes as D major pentatonic).

    Dorian is a seven note mode. (As all modes are) If you want to play E Dorian you’d play from the 2nd note to the 9th note of the D major scale, thus producing E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D and octave E. (Dorian pentatonic misses the the most colourful half steps)

    Thank you Dave! Good demo cool sounds and playing too first. Secondly yes really cool and original-looking guitar. The sound reminds me of LaMonte Young and his love of the sound of a big step-down generator. John Cale and Lou Reed used to practice matching the tones their refrigerator made with guitar and viola. My favorite sounds in rock and roll and modern classical are the sounds of and electric 12-string but mostly the sound of an overloaded combo organ: Terry Riley ;96 tears The Soft Machine and Sister Ray 'natch. BTW I like your band's cover of S.Ray a lot too.

    Hey so I don't want to discount your video but I have to point this out....
    The "Dorian pentatonic" scale you're using is not completely characteristic of the dorian mode. That scale, b minor pentatonic over an E pedal, is actually applicable within the Dorian, mixolydian, and aeolian modes of E. This really is more of a suspended minor sound.
    If you want the true "Dorian pentatonic" scale, try playing an F# minor pentatonic scale over the E pedal. This causes you to play both the natural 9 and natural 6 scale tones, which are what give the Dorian scale it's key characteristic sound.

    • @lauraslocumb7451

      or just play the diatonic version of E dorian, its not hard and it sounds really psychedelic.

    • @dustinplumb
      @dustinplumb 8 лет назад

      If I was playing E minor and looking for the Dorian position for pentatonic, I'd jump to A minor pentatonic. G is the relative major of E minor and the Dorian position for G major is A. I believe B pentatonic in an E minor context is the Phrygian position. You can play the exact same minor pentatonic scale in the Aeolian (E), Dorian (A) or Phrygian (B) positions over the E minor. Not being snooty here, just found this video while looking for 70's psychedelic guitar stuff and it got me thinking, which I appreciate...There's no "wrong" here.

    • @TheTylrBllmn
      @TheTylrBllmn 8 лет назад

      +Dustin Plumb So he's talking about E Dorian, which is a minor scale. To loosely say E minor does not fully describe which minor scale we are talking about here (there are many minor scales). If we're talking about E Dorian Minor, the related minor modes from that scale are B Aeolian and F# Phrygian. Each of those modes, E Dorian, B Aeolian, and F# Phrygian, all have their own corresponding minor pentatonic scales. These three pentatonic scales all use notes from E Dorian. When you play the F# Minor pentatonic scale over an E Dorian chord, you are playing F#, A, B, C#, and E. Those notes are the natural 9, 11, 5, natural 13, and root of E Dorian, and the natural 9 and natural 13 are the key characteristic scale degrees/chord tones that differentiate the Dorian scale from other minor scales. Does that make sense?

    • @dustinplumb
      @dustinplumb 8 лет назад

      +tylrbllmn yeah, I totally get that. Depending on what he's defining as his minor sound, there are 3 pentatonic positions that can be used. If he defines it as I described (E Aeolian), it's E, A and B positions, if he's defining E Dorian, it's E, F#, B and if he's defining E Phrygian, it's E, D and A. So at any one time, there are 5 pentonic positions that can work to define a minor modal sound. In the root E position, the minor pentatonic scale doesn't contain the key characteristic tones that differentiate Aeolian from Dorian (natural 6) or Phrygian (flat 9) and that's why the root position works so well. It's only when you jump away from the root pentatonic position that things start sounding more associated with a particular mode. Thanks for making me think this through! Fun stuff!

  • @BOE-sv6yv
    @BOE-sv6yv 9 лет назад +1

    I am a little confused by your terminology.
    You say you are in key of E. You play E pentatonic which is 5 notes derived from the 7 note mode of E aeolian. E is the relative minor of Gmaj. So you are playing notes 1,23, 5&6 of Gmaj, beginning on E: E(6), G(1), A(2), B(3), D(5)
    @ ~1:45 you say you are using the Dorian Pentatonic of E, and you proceed to use the same pentatonic scale form but start on B.
    The Dorian mode of Gmaj is A dorian. The dorian pentatonic notes would be the same as above, except you begin on A.
    What you are actually playing @1:45, and calling Dorian Pentatonic, beginning on B, is the Aeolian mode of Dmajor. The notes in Dmaj are D(1), E(2), F#(3), G(4), A(5) B(6). SO, you are playing B(6), D(1), E(2), F#(3), A(5) B(6) @~1:45
    I want to understand this; not trying to nitpick.

    Except you are not really playing the dorian pentatonic. For example: the E dorian pentatonic has only E F# G B D ie the full dorian mode includes A and C#. Use of the dorian mode allows for longer slides following short single steps e.g F# to G ie one half step followed by slide G to B 4 half steps. This adds to the melodic atmosphere.

    I think I got it. The answer is that you are playing in EMAJOR, CORRECT? I know that people often say, "play E blues, or play in E" and they mean, use the Emin pentatonic scale. But, from a lesson/theory standpoint, it's not the proper terminology.
    You are playin Bmin pentatonic, which is 1, b3, 4, 5 b7. For the root B, which has the following notes: B, C#, D#, E, F# G# A#, If you apply the minor Pentatonic formula, you end up with the notes B, D, E, F#, A. Same as my previous comment. It works with playing Em Pentatonic, because all of the notes are in the Gmajor scale.
    So, you aren't playing any notes out of key. The formula for a DORIAN Pentatonic Is 1, 2, b3, 5, 6. So a B dorian should have the notes B, C#, D, F#, G#. This would work in the key of Emajor, because it has all of the notes, but it would NOT work in Gmaj.

    • @dlyncherful
      @dlyncherful 9 лет назад

      It would seem to me if he is referencing B dorian and E mixolydian then it is the key of A major, since those would be the 2nd and 5th degrees of A. In any case, he wasn't clear about the key. In theory, you can use any of the 7 modes and they will all have the notes of the key- some may sound better in different contexts.

    Dude, I like the sound of what you are doing, but you should really brush up on your theory before giving a lesson. Calling your first scale 'dorian pentatonic' just makes no sense at all (since neither the 3rd nor the major 6th are in it). Also playing over a drone doesn't really resemble 'modal soloing', since that would actually mean changing modes according to the underlying chord changes.
