A dorian is a G major scale starting on A. The notes are A B C D E F# G A.
Any major scale starting on A play...

Ionian = A major
Dorian = G major (starting on A)
Phyrgian = F major(starting on A)
Lydian =E major (starting on A)
Mixolydian = D major (starting on A)
Aeolian = C major (starting on A)
Locrian = Bb major (starting on A)

This is it in a nutshell. All should be played in any ONE postion. (play all scales from the 5th fret, ultimately, any A any and all fingerings.)
