The Exotic Dorian #4 mode

In this e-book for guitar we'll explore the power of the Dorian #4 mode. The sound of the Dorian #4 scale can best be described as a fusion between the Latin and Jazzy sounding Dorian scale and the oriental flavour of Arabian ethnic scales. The result is a mystical, oriental and exotic sounding scale. It is a true profound sound that is used for many different styles in music, like Jazz, Folklore, Fusion, Metal and classical music.

Not only in Arabia, but also (and maybe more so) in Eastern Europe, in the Mediterranean region, in the Jewish culture and in the Turkish culture, the scale has firm roots. We’ll find the scale in film scores too, like in Disney’s Aladdin for instance to create an oriental sound.
The scale is also referred to as the Ukrainian Dorian scale or the Romanian minor scale. 


In this e-book you will learn all about this scale. You’ll learn the structure and origin, the chords that can be used to create a Dorian #4 sound, how to improvise with this scale and some interesting arpeggio ideas.

After studying this e-book you have fully mastered the Dorian #4 mode.
