About the A dorian scale
The Dorian mode is a minor scale with a raised 6th degree, giving it a brighter and jazzier sound than the natural minor. It is one of the most widely used modes in jazz improvisation, funk, and blues. The characteristic raised 6th makes it perfect for playing over minor 7th chords.
