If I pick G Dorian and build a triad from the A in its scale I get A, C and F.
I'm not sure what chord that is (A6?) but none of the above.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

I'd suggest that if you get a firm conceptual grasp on the triads that get built when you harmonize the major scale (the first mode - ionian), then all the rest is a matter of shifting the root note.

Do I play the Dorian shape starting from those different starting points?.
thanks again
