Alternate Picked Pentatonic Loops, Day 4. Today is C minor.
Four notes, two on each string, one string pair at a time. Eight repeats,
then you start those same four notes on a different one. Four ways in, and
every one of them starts on a downstroke. The notes don't change. The
string crossings do.
60 BPM, sixteenth notes. Five string pairs going up, then the loop turned
around coming back down. Two positions per round. Rounds 1 and 2 complete
the day. Rounds 3 and 4 are there if you have the time and the inclination.
Any tingling or pain means stop immediately. Shake it out, rest, and come
back another day.

![How To Hear & See The Modes - Daily Workout - Dorian
START HERE FIRST
If you clicked on this one first, go back to the Ionian video. Thats where I explain
how this whole thing works.
https://youtu.be/XDUITG-Qm9U
Same scale shapes as the last video, seen from a different perspective. All the white
keys on the piano, so to speak. What changes is where the root is, and what everything
sounds like against the drone.
HOW IT WORKS
90 seconds in each position. Do not make this super long. Its better to do this daily
and get it done.
11 positions on a 24 fret guitar.
Drone running the whole way, root note in gold, plus the color notes.
The note that makes this Dorian is the natural 6. Thats the one that separates it from
a regular minor scale, so listen for what it does against the drone.
A note being marked doesnt mean its a nice note to land on. It just defines that mode.
Youll hear this and make up your own mind about what notes you like.
Treat each shape like its its own instrument. Those are the only notes you have. Thats
the limitation.
Its not about making an amazing solo. Youre exploring the shape.
Dont look at the lowest note of the position and assume its the root. Thats the habit
this series is fixing.
And believe me, youve got to do the work here.
THE APP
Im using Fretboard Lab in this video. You dont need it. You can just play along with
