Dorian scale is a cool, versatile mode that sits somewhere between minor and major, giving your playing a smooth, modern, slightly jazzy vibe. Guitarists use it when they want a minor sound with a bit more brightness and character. Here you can pick the key you want and see the Dorian pattern laid out on the fretboard, making it easier to understand its intervals and start using that distinct Dorian flavor in your solos and improvisation.
