F Dorian — Resonator Guitar

F Dorian is 7 notes per octave (modes family), drawn here as position boxes on the Resonator Guitar's GBDGBD grid with the root flagged in each — learn one box deeply, then let the overlaps carry you into the next.

Minor with a raised 6th (natural 6) — soulful, smooth, and less dark than natural minor. The quintessential jazz-minor and blues mode.

Heard in: "So What" (Miles Davis), "Oye Como Va" (Santana), "Eleanor Rigby" (Beatles) — rock, blues, funk, jazz.

In open g the same letters repeat across the strings, so scale maps here look nothing like standard-tuning boxes — follow the drawn frets, not habit.

Play each box top to bottom until the roots feel like home base, then practice crossing between boxes mid-phrase — neck freedom is exactly that crossing, nothing more.
