L255 Em7 dorian lick 1st position
Add to favorites 
The first of a series of licks in the 5 different positions of the Em7 dorian scale.
This is the minor scale that is used the most in rock, jax and funk , when playing over minor7 chords.
You can look at it as a mixolydan scale with a lowered third 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7
Start with the first position using all the open strings, i play a lick using trills and hammerons
The lick ends with a GMaj9 arppegio (or an Em11 arpeggio starting on the third ),which ever way you want to look at it.
Remember that Em dorian is the 2 step of the D major scale, so you could try and play your D major scale or even better the G lydian scale (major scale with raised 4th)

: Hey, what do you think about Rodenberg pedals ? Just ordered the GAS 728B on thomann, hope it will be worth it !
: Hi, who is your sandberg reseller ? thx
: Does anyone have pro tips or pointers for smooth slides? I find that I hear the individual frets/note much more than I would like.
: Just really, really wanted to thank you, dude. Groove on, brother...
: would someone be so kind and do a tutorial on "i'll be there" by Marcus Miller? just thought i'd ask!!! thx Marlowe, i luv it here!!!

: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)
: Finally I donwloaded the DVD, its simply amazing. I wait for more material like this. Thanks you very much! Cheers from Argentina
: Thank you, and yes, i will make something else for the next dvd
