C# Dorian Scale

Dorian is a minor mode with a natural 6th, which makes it brighter than the natural minor. It is the second mode of the major scale, played from its 2nd degree. It is the sound of funk and jazz, of Santana's "Oye Como Va" and of "Scarborough Fair". It fits minor 7th chords, and minor progressions that move from the i chord to a major IV chord.
