I’m a music theory professor and no, I would not fail you for saying you’re in the key if D Dorian. The key (pun intended) is the composers intention. Odds are Bach and Mozart wouldn’t have thought in D Dorian, rather D minor, with the G being a V/VII (even that’s not right, but I’m still pre-coffee this morning), but for modern songwriting D Dorian is fine.

@@katorzhnik Why not? Let music theory evolve. Minor is a mode of major, but we're allowed to say "minor key", but not "Dorian key"?? Maybe we shouldn't allow people to say "major key" because after all the major scale is just the seventh mode of the Dorian scale! Not fair to Dorian. No need to impose that arbitrary distinction. If you're in "A minor" but your tonic chord is a D minor chord, then let's call the key D Dorian, it makes more sense!

This is your best series by far, I sit at the edge of my seat every minute of the video with my notepad and guitar. Easily the most helpful videos and easiest to understand, when it comes to writing music and using different modes!

Over a year later I’m still coming back to listen to this demo snippet-if you ever fancy making a full version of the song, I’d be so stoked on that. Also, thanks so much for this whole series on the modes-your videos massively helped my understanding of how to work with them.

These vids are great. You certainly know how to convey musical concepts clearly and concisely. Thank you.

Another excellent video, Jake. Love it!

Jake this was a fantastic video. I love how you take complicated things and make them simple and applicable. For me this was a lesson of not only how to use dorian for composition; but also song arrangement and how to get different sounds and textures to work together. I love the writing with modes series, I have learned a lot. Thank you.

This was seriously great. Idk why KZread recommended a two year old video but it was just what I needed right now. I don’t even “like” the tone/timbre/quality of dad rock, at all, but it’s perfectly simplistic for an example & explanation of basic songwriting. Terrific execution dude, it sounded great.

I love seeing you implement the modes in non-traditional ways, like you were saying with Dorian usually being jazzy or funky. I hope you make a cool melodic song for Phrygian instead of the typical metal stuff you hear! Awesome video, and I hope the next one comes out sooner!!!!

Very nicely done! I had almost as much fun watching it as you obviously had making it!

i really like your speech at the end! no matter how you call it unless you understand what you’re up to, do it!

Amazing video man!! Learnt so much from this. Your Hetfield 'gritted teeth' look is spot on too!

Thank you for presenting this information in such a fantastic way - really showing the application of theory in a creative context and making it more digestible and fun for people :) and great video too!

Jake. I’ve only just come across your lessons in recent days. After playing guitar for 30 years on and off I’ve only ever learned songs I liked to play using tab and heaps of time, never really understanding why it sounds so good. I’ve learned more in 3 days than I have in 30 years thanks to you and more than that, getting excited because I’m beginning to understand music! The way you explain it has just clicked with me, thanks so much! This particular episode made me laugh a few times, the Taco Bell one lol. But the little clip you made was so funny overlaying Jame’s mouth...haha. The sample itself was great. If James ever gets laryngitis you might be getting a call 😜 If that fails I’m sure radio would take you on for sure. Keep up the great work 👍

Would love some theory on the Ben Harper / Jack Johnson style of music. Your channel is awesome, mate! Learning a ton 👍🏻

These vids on how a song is written a really quite entertaining!

Unsurprisingly, yet another fantastic video. Song is awesome to boot. I look forward to writing and recording with the Dorian mode thanks to your incredibly easy to follow and awesome instruction. Thanks so much; your channel deserves immense growth. 👍🤘

The idea of if you’re in dorian or aeolian mentioned at the end I think is funny considering that aeolian was originally just considered an altered version of dorian back in the medieval period with early Gregorian modes. So I’d say that the idea of using dorian with aeolian borrowed chords is more accurate to the original concept of the modes.

I didn't know that. I mean aeolian altered version of dorian. Very interesting, but with a lot of sense. Now I can explain myself why some songs using dorian it seems old, maybe even medieval to me, but never for aeolian.

For me, this was a lesson of not only how to use the Dorian mode for composition, but also a mini course on song arrangement, composition and how to create different colors and textures with your instruments. I love this series of writing with the different modes. I have learned many, many new ideas to use in my own writing.Thank you so much!!

Man, I tell you... I have never seen someone explain how to come up with a song in simple steps like this. Writing out and taking the time to explain how you came to the final riff, is absolutely impressively done. Easy to follow, and explaining the "why" you chose 6/8, what it sounds like, some characteristics you went for, it really makes the writing process easier when you have in mind what you want to evoke. I've seen hundreds of videos of people "cutting to the chase" and not really taking the time to explain it all as thoughtfully as you did, and it is extremely valuable. I hate bell notifications usually even from channels I love, but I can't not now. That's just too impressive to ignore. Thanks so much for taking the time!
