I happen to love cold frosty mornings, though this tune was written in remembrance of the gruesome battle of Culloden Moor in 1746. It starts in A minor, then onto a major sound. We’ll learn a harmony part, too, and work on our improvisation using target notes!
Just what Texas needed this week 
Love that song and that Rattle Snake sounds mighty fine !!!
Thanks! It’s been SUPER cold in Nashville and I don’t keep my little Cabin heated very warm. It was in the mid 50’s when I recorded and my body heat on the mando caused it to go out of tune a bit. I noticed after listening back and said, “oh well.”
Hi Ben, will you be doing a banjo version of this by any chance?
Yeah, I’d love to…may do that this week!
Such a great breakdown of this lesson @BanjoBen.
I enjoyed it so much and appreciate your “unintentional” stick to it determination to be in the spirit of the title by doing the lesson if a frosty cabin! 
By the way… thanks for sharing the pics as they were really nice and so fitting!
Great lesson!
Is there a Dorian Scale for other keys other than A? Perhaps a G Dorian scale? Example: G, A, bB,C , D, E, F
Also, do all other major scales have a Mixolydian version of that scale?
Thanks, Ben! Cool lesson.-- Mando Mitch
Precisely, that’s exactly right. All the scales exist for each key!
HI Michelle.
Each scale can be played in different modes
Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian etc. are different “modes” of a scale.
This guy does a pretty good job of explaining the modes.
Would it be too corny to say that none are as appealing as A-Dorian?
I know how irritating it is to get out of pitch because of tempature. Happened to me one time ON STAGE.
If you play outside it can be a chase the whole time, especially if conditions are changing.
@Mike_R - I don’t think your comment is corny at all.
Then again, this is coming from someone who always messes up putting the wrong tops back on mason jars… a genuine Mix-o-lyd-ian.
Now that is just too far… sorry!
