A Dorian is A B C D E F♯ G. That is A natural minor with the 6th raised from F to F♯. Put the root on fret 5 of the low E string. The board above is already that shape. Use Practice range to move the same notes through frets 3–7, 5–9, 7–11 and 9–13.

Standard tuning only. The dots are notes, not finger numbers. Each window is one view of the same scale, not the only fingering. Basis: Open Music Theory: Dorian.
