Scale guide
Dorian is a minor scale with a major 6th. That one raised note makes it sound less dark than natural minor. It is common in funk, jazz, and rock solos over a minor chord that stays put.
It uses the same notes as A♭ major, starting from B♭ instead of A♭.
Built from the notes of the scale, so the B♭ Dorian scale works over all of them.
