About Course
Are you a guitarist who feels like you're stuck in a rut?
Have you mastered the minor pentatonic scale, only to find that your solos and rhythm playing are starting to sound a bit… predictable? It’s a common frustration, but it doesn't have to be your story.
My name is Geoff Sinker and welcome to my course on the Dorian Mode, designed specifically for guitarists ready to take their playing to the next level.
This isn't a dry, academic theory lesson. This is a practical, hands-on guide to unlocking a soulful, sophisticated, and incredibly versatile sound that will transform you’re playing.
The Dorian Mode is the secret weapon used by legends across rock, blues, jazz, and funk to create melodies that feel both melancholic and uplifting.
It’s the sound behind some of your favorite songs, from Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and Santana's "Oye Como Va" to Van Morrisons Moondance."
In this course, we will break down the Dorian Mode into simple, step-by-step concepts that you can immediately apply to your playing.
