hey i just wana ask one thing about satches song flying in a blue dream:
basically i was told that at least for the beginning he is playing in A dorian mode over Amin7 chords. Now, A Dorian is G major rite, but my guitar teacher sed that he is playing in Emin, now I know that that is the relative of Gmaj but why is it still called A Dorian because you are no longer accenting the second note (A) of the scale?

Also a quick question when u play in A Dorian, it means you are playing Gmaj just accenting the A's rite?

As you can see im very new to this modes scene and I would appreciate some straightening out :)

thanx
bye
