What is a dorian scale and a blues scale?
basically a dorian scale is just your major scale but you flat the 3rd note and the 7th note so your C major scale is C D E F G A B C now to get your C dorian you would make the E and B flat because E is the 3rd note and B is the 7th note so your C dorian is C D Eb F G A Bb C another way of thinking of it is a dorian scale is the same scale as the major scale of the whole note before it so if you wanted an E dorian all you do is play the D major scale but start on E because D is a whole note away from E heres D major D E F# G A B C# D heres E dorian E F# G A B C# D E see they both have 2 sharps F# and C# they just start on different notes either way you think of it they are both the dorian scale so just choose whatever way is easier for you you want to use a dorian scale when you see a min7 chord so if you see Dmin7 then use your D dorian scale
