I watched Griff's lesson on Modes and have a couple of questions.
First, and most simply, do guys like Santana play mostly in Dorian?
Second and a little more complicated, I downloaded and printed the tab for the seven modes. I also came across a chart for the Dorian Mode that shows the five patterns of the Dorian Mode, which of course takes you up the fretboard in the Dorian Mode.
Now, I guess with a little brain power I could figure this out, but do each of the Modes have five patterns that place you at different places in the fretboard while using the same notes?
Are there truly 35 different combinations in the Modes?
Is this like the pentatonic scales where there are 5 boxes but most blues guitarists play only in 1 and 2?
