This video teaches how to write riffs with the Dorian mode, and also how to arrange those riffs into a full song. We explore a little bit of modal interchange, by borrowing from the parallel minor key, but mostly focus in on the 2nd mode.
Donāt take me too seriously when I say that dad rock isnāt ātoo complicated or insightfulā. Iām generalizing, for better or for worse.
FAQ:
Q: Why does your song sound like āTurn The Pageā?
A: Because the chord progression for that song is the same- except it is in E dorian instead of D, and this song the chord changes every measure instead of every two. Also he sings the lyric "There I go", and I sing the lyric "There he goes"
Q: Why does your song sound like Metallica?
A: Because Iām trying to sound like James Hetfield
Q: Why does your song sound like Bon Joviās āWanted: Dead or Aliveā?
A: Because itās played on an acoustic guitar, the tonal center is D, and I bend the minor third into that twangin territory.
Q: Why does your song sound like Bon Joviās āYou Give Love A Bad Nameā?
A: Because of that big major IV chord in the prechorus that resolves to the tonic. Itās heard in the prechorus of both songs.
Q: Why does your song remind me of āNorweigan Woodā by the Beatles?
A: Because the pick-strumma-strumma in 6/8 is similar to the pick-strumma-strumma in that song.

I guess I pissed off a lot of dads with this intro. In case you couldn't tell, I love this kind of music, so don't read too deeply into my taco-bell comment. As a dad would say, "quit crying about it"
