Chord & FretBebop Dorian on guitar (D)
Bebop Dorian in D: D – E – F – F# – G – A – B – C. On the guitar, six strings open the scale into wide shapes — there is room to choose the region of the neck that sings best. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 5; the lowest tonic sits on the 4th string, open, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
A scale never lives in one box — bebop Dorian on guitar has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; walk the scale's shapes along the whole neck, region by region; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
