Objectives
To learn the Dorian scale in 2 positions
To learn the Dorian extended arpeggio
Improvisation
The Dorian Mode
The Dorian mode is a scale built on the 2nd
degree of the major scale. Its formula is:
R – 2 – b3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – b7
This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Dorian extended arpeggio:
R – b3 – 5 – b7 – 9 – 11 – 13
The most important characteristic of the Dorian mode is the Maj 6 (or Maj 13). This note is in fact absent in all
the other ‘minor’ modes of the Major Scale.
Improvisation
In class we’ll discuss how to improvise using the Dorian scale. We’ll see the most common chord progressions
and the most important notes to highlight the characteristics of this mode.

degree of the major scale and it’s also known as relative Natural Minor
scale. Its formula is:

This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Aeolian extended arpeggio:
R – b3 – 5 – b7 – 9 – 11 – b13
One of the most important notes of the Aeolian mode is the Min 6 (or Min 13). This note is in fact the only
difference between the Dorian and Aeolian modes.

This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Lydian extended arpeggio:
R – 3 – 5 – 7 – 9 – #11 – 13
The most important notes of the Lydian mode is the Aug 4th
(or #11). This note is in fact the only difference
between the Lydian and Ionian (Major Scale) modes.

degree of the major scale. Its formula is:
R – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – b7
This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Mixolydian extended
arpeggio:
R – 3 – 5 – b7 – 9 – 11 – 13
The most important notes of the Mixolydian mode is the Min 7th
(or b7). This note is in fact the only difference
between the Mixolydian and Ionian (Major Scale) modes.

Objectives
To learn the Superlocrian mode in 2 positions
To learn the Superlocrian extended arpeggio
Improvisation
The Superlocrian Mode
The Superlocrian mode is probably the most common scale in jazz and fusion. Its theoretical formula is:
R – b2 – b3 – b4 – b5 – b6 – b7
Even if the formula above is correct, in practice the Superlocrian mode is seen in a different way:
R – b2 - #2 – 3 – b5 - #5 – b7
This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Superlocrian extended
arpeggio:
R – 3 – (b/#) 5 – b7 – (b/#) 9
In practice this is the perfect scale for Dominant Altered chords. The teacher will explain the type of chords you
can use this scale over.
Improvisation
In class we’ll discuss how to improvise using the Superlocrian mode. We’ll see the most common chord
progressions and the most important notes to highlight the characteristics of this mode.

Objectives
To learn the Harmonic Minor scale in 2 positions
To learn the Melodic Minor extended arpeggio
Improvisation
The Harmonic Minor Scale
The Harmonic Minor is a minor scale common in Latin and neo-classic metal music. Its formula is:
R – 2 – b3 – 4 – 5 – b6 – 7
This formula is more often seen from a chordal point of view which consists in the Harmonic Minor extended
arpeggio:
R – b3 – 5 – 7 – 9 – 11 – b13
The most important spot of the Harmonic Minor is the min 3rd
interval between the b6 and the 7th
. This creates
such a distinctive sound that makes the scale instantly recognizable.
Improvisation
In class we’ll discuss how to improvise using the Harmonic Minor scale. We’ll see the most common chord
progressions and the most important notes to highlight the characteristics of this scale.
