D Dorian Mode - Box 5 #shorts #guitar

Here is the D Dorian Scale for guitar (AKA The Dorian Mode). The Dorian Mode is the second mode of the Major Scale, and can be thought of as playing the Major Scale by beginning on the second note of the scale rather than the first note (playing a C Major Scale beginning on D rather than on C for example). The Dorian Mode can also be thought of as a Major Scale with the 3rd and 7th notes flatted one half step. This video shows box 5 of the scale. Each scale has a total of 5 boxes. Once you have all 5 boxes memorized, you can move on to a new key and start again. When learning scales, you should begin and end on the tonics/root notes (represented here by the squares with the letter "D" inside them) to help you remember where they are within the scale, as well as where they are on the fretboard in general. After you are more comfortable, try starting and ending on different notes and/or different strings within the scale. You can also try playing up one box, and then back down the adjacent box. I hope this helps.
