A Dorian Guitar Jam Track

Latest guitar jam track is A Dorian. The chord progression is Am and Bm with an A pedal tone. This minor to minor chord progression occurs as the 2nd and 3rd chord of the harmonized G major scale. For this reason, you can use G major scales and licks over the progression, however the tonal center is now around the A note, not G. A minor pentatonic scales and licks work just fine, too.

The jam track also has a key change section with an E5, G5 and A5 progression. I've found that the same G major scales/licks/notes work over this, as well as E minor pentatonic licks. After the key change is cycles back to the A Dorian progression.

All in all, the jam-track is around 17 minutes long, so you shouldn't have to reach up and hit 'play' again too often :)

Oh, and if you forget where it is, the jam-track is filed under 'G major'.
Enjoy!
