Primary Guitar: Day 55 - Dorian Scale Part II


Day 55

Dorian Scale Part II

Learning the Pattern

Today we will cover the rest of the Dorian scale which we started on Day 54. We will add the higher notes and play the scale all the way through from bottom to top. The physical aspect of this scale in its entirety should not be overly challenging to you at this point. Though as I have stated, I would highly recommend putting some energy into remembering what sound and pattern you are using. Here is the full scale.

Playing Through 

By now you know which fingers go where based on fret span. If you can play through the scale enough to memorize it, then that is ideally what you would want to do. If you are not able to memorize it, then that is fine, just be sure to continue to practicing the scale in days to come. You should also be doing this with scales you have learned in the past. 


Review Questions

1. What is the difference in sound between a minor and major chord?

2. What do the horizontal lines on a scale chart represent?

3. What do the red dots on a scale chart represent?

4. If you have two notes on the same string with a fret span of two, which two fingers should you use to play the notes?

5. List the three notes on the sixth string from the scale given in this lesson.
