So... which mode would that be?



From one self-professed uneducated player to another: I believe that
you're playing an Eb dorian and sideslipping to D dorian.

Oops: to respond to you, Mr. Walls: this is a classic example of
analyzing what another player is doing from a modeal perspective. The
OP gave you his string of notes and you analyzed them as a mode and
gave him the name and location. Accurate.

And, of course, this is what he asked.


But if the OP doesn't know what the hell he's doing (no offense, Mr.
Salvo), and is instead just moving chess pieces around, then he can
hardly be said to be playing chess, right?

Absolutely. Or absolutely not, I guess. I remember a guy telling me that
his guitar teacher told him that you could always approach any chord
tone from a half step away. By conjecture, I began superimposing entire
chords a half step away. And thus sideslipping was born! I also added
the b9 to the blues scale, and invented the bookpack. I'm just getting
warmed up!
