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

thanks again

no u dont do that G dorian has the notes G A Bflat C D E F (i made a mistake before i forget which mode was which)

u can make any chords u want out of the notes in the scale. i could do like DFAC if i wanted. to make th normail majour minor half diminished chords. though u want to do as i said before take a not sikip take skip take.

so the chords u get from G dorian are

G Bb D
A C E
Bb D F
C E G
D F A
E G Bb
F A C

those are the chords. they are minor (1 b3 5), majour (1 3 5) and one half diminished (1 b3 b5).

if u did wat you were sugestin in the quote u would be finding the first chords in G dorian. then findin the first chord in A dorian then the first chord in B dorian. which is not wat u want. u dot want to constantly be shifting keys.
