![]() ![]() To start things off here’s a nice ‘bouncy’ sounding line that uses the first 5 notes of the Dorian scale D, E, F, G, and A. If you don’t know what a Dorian scale is, visit my jazz guitar scales guide article for a detailed explanation of the scale. Remember that any of the licks from this lesson can also be applied over different chord types and will work esepcially well over dominant 7th chords too. A great Dorian tune to start applying these licks to is the Miles Davis classic ‘So What’ because there is a lot of time on only two Dorian chords. Knowing how to play a scale and not knowing how to use it it in a musical setting makes the scale redundant, so in today’s lesson I will teach you some cool ways that you can use the Dorian scale in practical music settings by showing you 5 of my favorite Dorian licks.Įach one of these licks should be explored over a static minor 7 th chord situation first before applying them over full standards. No doubt about it, every guitarist needs to know their scales inside out, but quite often I teach guitarists who know a bunch of scales but don’t know how to use them in a musical setting. Dorian licks are a common part of developing jazz language and therefore a big part of learning how to improvise in a jazz setting.
