Hi Everyone,
Last week I got a lot of comments to the effect of "don't move on, let's keep working on Dorian." So I decided to do another lesson clarifying how to think about modes in general and then the last bit is about Dorian specifically. I made some cool charts to help show my points and I made a fun little GIF which I'll post on the community forum. ALSO - SURPRISE - I upgraded my equipment for better clarity, sharper image, and the ability to zoom in a little as needed in editing. I have more exciting education-supporting upgrades planned for the future, but I'm not ready to discuss them yet... hehehe. I hope you enjoy this lesson and keep in mind - if this is your first video of mine, definitely go back through the previous Music Theory Monday lessons. See Below.
As always, thanks so much for being here and I hope you learn a lot while you're here.

Hey man - just want to say that I have been taking your lessons for just about a year now - typically shooting for at least 30 minutes a day on any single topic, but starting from the top of your recommended lesson plan. Simply put, thank you for all that you do. You have truly changed my life. Rock on brotha.

2021-02-23 20:38:51 +0000 UTCNo question, I was just commenting that these songs seem to be in "E dorian" as they both go from Em to A7. That was one of the takeaways for me from this lesson.
