Eric, you really have a knack for explaining these in simple terms and make them easy to learn. Thanks!

I've learned more COMPLETE songs from you on these videos than i have my entire life. Choice cuts like Masquerade etc... You Sir are a master teacher. It's never been so easy to see.

Prince used this scale!! Thanks Bro...love your channel. I'm playing right along with you.

Eric, you Champion, for 12 months I have been trying to understand modes. I was initially taught the 7 shapes in the 7 positions practice them until I could play them by rout. I was then told I could move the shapes wherever and things just got muddier, watching RU-vid videos just made matters worse. Your video just clarified modes for me so simple. Thank you very much, and for all the other brilliant lessons.

Best lesson I've seen on the subject. Thanks again Eric.

What you just demonstrated, showed me more than I have ever seen, how to bring a song to life with the scale, and really not only encouraged me, but ignited in me the music that has been dormant for a good while. Thank You Eric!!!

Incredibly good explanation of what Dorian is.

Your lessons are some of the most helpful I've ever run across, you do a fantastic job of incorporating theory with application. The way you do it makes so much sense to me.

Thank you, Eric, for taking the time and slowly explaining how a Dorian scale works. Simply awesome.

Seriously, that was one of the best tutorials I have seen in a while. I thank you for your knowledge and layman's terms for explaining!

Brilliant!! Clear, concise teaching. What a find!!

Eric , your the best Guitar Instructor on the Internet hands down. Great lesson on The Dorian Scale Mode !!

Sometimes in this fast paced, complicated life we want to just sit back and take in knowledge, preferably from a good teacher...you Eric are a good teacher. You talk slow and explain it as Denzel Washington said in "Philadelphia", like I'm a 3 year old, but sometimes we want that. Great vid bro, keep up the good work!!

Thank you Eric. Finally someone who could break it down to make it understandable and show how to apply it.

Thanks for teaching instead of showing off. I know that is blunt, but it sure does help.

you are the best teacher i have had over the 48 years ......nice way u teach ...Eric your the Man

wow Eric. I have watched literally hundreds of guitar scale/mode videos on youtube. just learning different techniques, etc. I have to say, this is honestly the best, most clear, direct and easy to understand explaination of what a mode is and how it is related to a scale. you break it down in very simple terms and dont spend 15 minutes talking about random crap. hands down, the best video on what a dorian mode is. amazing. kudos.

Just love the simple way you explain things, at 70, a year into learning to play the guitar watching your videos make playing over backing tracks so much easier.

i've been longing to play oye como va since 1970 but now I found the easiest way to learn it. Thanks to maestro EricBlackmonGuitar. Wow!!!

Eric, you are a groove monster, man. Thanks!

You are a very gifted teacher. Some of this went over my head due to my own lower level of music knowledge, which I'm working on raising. Once I get there, I'll revisit this and get it all down. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here.

Just a fantastic teacher. I often assumed that Santana was playing in something other than always the Penatonic scale. Now I know the secret on how he gets that different type of sound..

Eric you would make a great school teacher - loved the way you SLOWLY explained and showed it. Too many show offs giving lessons and many us don't benefit from that. Thanks again, friend.

I like the way Dorian mode is explained. Easy to understand.

Fantastic instruction! Thank you for your patience and detailed explanation.

I'm glad i found you brother! Great demonstration.

Thanks Eric... a very clear explanation without mumbo-jumbo tech speak... I learned by ear, and learned what little I know of theory from simply playing, and playing... a lot.

That was the BEST explanation and demonstration I have ever seen of the modes, thank you Sir!!!

Thanks for the lesson Erik, this songs been around my family since I was a kid in the 70s, my parents love it and dance it, my older cousins in México and others in Texas used to have their own bands and played in bars or join to jam during sunday family barbecues, brings so nice moments to my mind when I hear it, and now that I'm 50 and grabbing a guitar to learn it's so amazing to hit those notes with this background you are giving, where do all this comes from... it's gold, thanks so much man!!

Eric thanks for giving a clear and straightforward explanation of modes.

Always puts it in an easy format to learn. Thanks Eric

This is the BEST explanation of the Modes on RU-vid! Great Job Eric!!! I FINALLY understand it. Thank you.

You really know how to break it down Eric. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!!! Shared with my friends on Google-plus too!

Thank you Eric you make things a bit simpler and easier to understand

It's like you pull back the curtain to see the Wizard of Oz! Thank you Eric. 😊🙏

Absolutely amazing, the best explanation I have been able to find of any scale and you included an excellent song to practice with. Incredible thank you! I typed in Dorian scale guitar

Incredible. Best explanations on Earth. Keep up the GOOD work!

I love your tutorials!!!! You're a very great guitarist, & great teacher also. God bless you 🙏, my friend. Keep the videos coming.🎶🔥😁😎👍

These are the best no nonsense videos for guitar I found on RU-vid. Only one phrase I can think of to express my true feelings has to contain expletives. "Fucking Awesome"

Excellent! You must be a great teacher with the level of patience and step by step, clear instructions. Thank you sir!

Thanks Derick. I appreciate you teaching style.

Thanks Eric you have given me something to practice,since I enjoy listening to Carlos play.

Thankyou so much. Clear concise and to the point!

Best lesson yet....nicely done lesson ...love Carlos and your lesson

I have now levelled up. ThankYOU!

WELL DONE WELL EXPLAINED. .GOOD TEACHER. MABUHAY

First time I heard the dorian scale mode explained with such clarity. Thanks. You have a new subscribed bassist hungry for more.

Eric you are the best music teacher. here in germany, music is taught too complicated. it's interesting how quickly I understood it through you.

Thank you so much for explaining what it is to play a scale in for example c major, thanks for the text you put in the video, 🇳🇱

Thanks for doing this Eric. Santana is one of my fav players, he has a great sound & style. Take care, Eric.

Great lesson. Thank you for sharing your guitar skills. I learned more from this video than any other ones I have watched about Santana's playing style. You are an excellent teacher who cuts through the bs and gets to the heart of the lesson. Thanks, Rick

Hi Eric, love your playing & thank you for this awesome lesson!

Thanks Eric, I really like your clear instructions, great tunes too!

Thanks Eric that was really helpful. A complex theory made understandable.

Very well explained!

Great way to explain the Dorian mode

A good lesson. I get it and will repeat this vid. You are a good teacher. Thanks NeoGeezr

Fantastic! Finally I see a practical breakdown of music theory with music I love. Once again loving your vids. Thanks!!

That was an excellent explanation of modes generally and Dorian mode specifically. The consolidation of the learning using a looper is also a great tip, thanks Eric

awesome lesson, this is one of the best guitar lesson channels on youtube. Cheers!

Great video, thanks! You make it easy to absorb fast. Cheers! Tim

Awesome video Bro!! Playing right along with you!! I belibelieve Prince used the Dorian scale a lot!👍👍

Good job. Much better when notes are named as we go along. Showed chords , scale notes all made quick sense . thanks

Great lesson with explanation and instructions I can understand. Thank you much.

You are a very good teacher thank you a lot for this lesson sir

I agree intirley with all. Easy to understand modes now! Most make it sound so difficult, but it really is simple, following your way's. Now thanks for showing what Carlos does! I am truly inlightened! Thanks Eric great lesson😊

Right on - great explanation of modes and how to use them. Love that Santana Dorian sound. Cheers from Seattle!

Very good lesson, thanks

Eric is amazing teacher . i can follow ...took little while . but i can do it. i am so happy . i played it on yamaha revstar 502b woah and lol cv. squire. amazing tones from 2 different guitars. this is the first meaningful riff i have ever played . picked the guitar back up after giving up years ago. i can die happy now lol. thanks eric . please do the whole song. uk. kent

The first five notes of dorian scale, also are the same first five notes of "samba pá tí" phrase... right? Amazing! Dude. U explain it so well. thanks a lot!

This is a great lesson, thanks Eric!

Thank you sir. I played with more freedom and expression after this. I moved from the 'a' position into 'g major' up at twelfth fret (familiar pentatonic box) and back with a new confidence.

Merci beaucoup Eric ! Excellente leçon, très claire, très concrète et très bien expliquée. Le sous-titrage en anglais facilite aussi la compréhension et la mémorisation de la présentation orale (malgré l'effort sensible pour ralentir le débit et articuler soigneusement) pour les anglophones moyens . Thanks a lot, Eric ! Great lesson and very good job, as usual. The subtitling can be a big help also for everybody in particular the foreigners. I do appréciate it, my friend !

Nice work Eric.enjoyed your video very much. There somethings i've learned from your cool friendly disposition. Cheers. Blessings too.!!!

Thanks Eric for the great and easy presentration..really open a whole "D" dorian world to me. Enjoy your lession a lot, cant wait to play this on my red garage master.

Oh wow! Thanks! This is one of my favorite songs ever.

Only a few Santana songs were in Dorian . Black Magic Woman was in aeolian mode . Europa was in aeolian mode . Moonflower was in aeolian . Samba Pati starts with an A Dorian minor but it's in the key of G . I may be wrong but I think that Oye Como Va and Evil ways were about the only song he did in Dorian .

Thanks. Very clear and helpful!

oh my god, like seriously you are an amazing teacher, i hardly had to pause which is amazing, please keep up the good work

Excellent! I highly recommend.

Wow you explain this stuff in such an easy to understand way thank you

Thanks Eric. Great lesson again. Love the sound of the rain in the back ground.

EXCELLENT LESSON.

Amazing and so clear of an approach to learning. Thanks Eric! I need only this lesson to get to grooving on Oye Como Va. Cheers!

a great way to see modes applied and fantastic tip on a movable scale shape to match song key

Thanks for the lesson Eric. I'm sure I learned something today.

I HAVE TO GIVE U A STANDING OVATION!! I've watched you, been subscribed to you too,: I got sidetracked after the Pandemic, too much ,still in my life. YOU EXPLAINED THE MODES. that seemed difficult, BUT! knew it was fairly easy, MAGNIFICENT, ARTICULATE JOB of EXPLAINING! Going back to this lesson Again! I Can't THANK YOU ENOUGH!! I have been in an Extremely upsetting mood ALL. Day long . GOD BLESS YOU. ✌️💚🌺

I found this to be interesting and helpful. Thank you.

fantastic channel, you make it sound so easy and it works, it "clicked" for me. You know , that song seemed a challenge to learn but seems like you've taken the mystery out of it. I am so glad I happened upon your channel and I subscribed. Cant wait to see more, thanks again, Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

Another amazing one

Great lesson Eric. The best channel on You Tube to learn how to play guitar Thanks 👍🏻

I love this, thanks for the music theory!

Another great lesson! Many thanks and God bless, my friend.
