Mode
E Dorian
The E Dorian mode — E F# G A B C# D — shown across the guitar neck.
Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.
E Dorian is the natural minor with one note changed — the 6, C#. That single note is what the mode sounds like; lean on it and the colour is obvious, avoid it and you are just playing minor.
