Eb Dorian

The Eb Dorian mode (also written D#) — Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db — shown across the guitar neck.

Also written D# Dorian. D# and Eb are the same pitch — Eb is the spelling in common use.

Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.

Eb 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.

The tool shows this from its parent key, Db major, with Eb marked as where Dorian begins, the same seven notes centered on Db.
