Mode
G Dorian
The G Dorian mode — G A Bb C D E F — shown across the guitar neck.
Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.
G Dorian is the natural minor with one note changed — the 6, E. 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.
