  It does not seem the tab is correct for the B Dorian. Is it just me? The tab is reflecting a F note (10th fret) on the G string.
  
  Hi Ken, how are you?
  
  Sinisa is playing a variation of Dorian mode which includes the b5 of the scale, which is commonly called "blue note" and in this case it's F note. This note is added to give a bluesy sound to Dorian Mode. It can be called "Dorian Blues Scale" but in this cases it's usually seen as a Dorian scale with an extra "passing note" to add a different feel.
  
  Thanks for asking about it, we will add this information in the lesson.
  
  EDIT: Lesson fixed!

  These patterns are awesome, very cool sounding, and following the harmony very well. I like them because they don't require stretches.

Hi GMCers,

Welcome to my new lesson about Sequential Pattern exercises.

What is it? The simplest explanation would be to take a group of several tones (4 in this case) and play them in the order - 1,2,3,4 - that would be a sequence!
Now, take the second group, but the first tone of the second group will be the second tone of the previous group! Take a look - 1234-2345-3456-4567-5678.

Here I have shown three examples which you can practice and warm up with.
The first exercise is the A minor pentatonic, the second is the B Dorian mode (with the addition of the blue note, F note), and the last one - C major scale.

Tempo : 100bpm
Signature : 4/4
Chord progression: Am,D/ Bm,E/ C
Techniques: Alternate picking
Equipment: Sonar8 DAW, Amplitube 2 guitar plugin

Have fun practicing!
