Bonsoir,
I guess emphasizing chord tones of the scale / mode would do the trick, wouldn't it?

I would like to think you are taking the ****, Mr Garbage, but I fear you are in deadly earnest. This is SAXontheweb. I believe our sister site GUITARonthweb may be better suited to your enquiry. The issues of "positions" on guitar are quite obviously different from those involved in playing the same scales on a saxophone. To give you a simple response: D Dorian Chord DFA, C Major Chord CEG. Yours truly.. (And seriously, best of luck.).garbageman007 said:hi guys, im actually a guitar player, and this is the problem im facing reently.. i havent been learning jazz all that long, and im starting to play in all 12 keys, i know all the modes, and im practing them all all up the neck, so if i play in C i know were every note is because i know were all the modes are, but my problem is now that i do that it seems like the modes are just differnt positions for the same scale, and instead of being fluent with D dorian , it sounds like c major, doesnt have that dorian feel. i just have trouble getting the mode to be the mode and not making it sound like its parent scale..
any tips?
This is really a good way to go. I especially like going around the cycle with dominant chords/scales (mixolydian), starting on different chord tones. Actually I mainly work from the 3rd & 7th chord tones, since they really sound the chord. Also, with dom chords, the 3rd is only a half step away from the b7th of the next chord in the cycle. For example, moving from C7 to F7, you can play E to Eb. Also, you can spell each chord in turn, dropping a half step on the starting chord tone.hgrail said:- I regularly go around the cycle of fourths in Dorian and Mix - this will get your thoughts together. The arpegios may be the most helpful to get the chord tones in your head. If you can hear them in your head then you will be able to play them. (This is something I've been working on recently).
Good luck
