G Dorian Guitar Lick

🎼 TABS, SCALE MAPS + LESSONS 👉   / quistjam   As many people have requested some more insight into my favourite licks, phrases and ideas, I've decided to start a series of little "nuggets" - some of my favourite licks and concepts - in various keys & modes :) MORE NUGGETS https://goo.gl/BoKu0L

This phrase is based on G Dorian Mode: G A Bb C D E F (G)

The lick features part of a sequence going up 4 notes repeatedly: 1234 - 2345 - 3456 etc - outlining the notes of a C9 arpeggio. (C D E G Bb)

This concept of using arpeggios over chords (and not necessarily just the I chord, Gm!!) really brings out the flavour of G Dorian.

Practice tips:

Make sure to practise it nice and slow at first. Try to always practise IN TIME. If you can tap your foot while you're playing - and not necessarily looking as silly as I do - you're definitely onto a good thing :)

Make sure the hammer-ons are nice and strong. And finally..choose a good fingering (see mine for ideas) and then stick with it as you build up the speed.....

Hope you'll enjoy this!!

You can try it out on one of these jam tracks:
