Dorian Sounds

Pros have heroes and Rodrigo Gouveia has channelled his. Inspired by Govan, Miller, Quayle and more, he lays down five solos that are part funk, part fusion, and with a little dash of that ultra-modern secret sauce.

If the Dorian mode adds the spice, then Rodrigo shows you how to pour it on.

Each solo is fully transcribed and comes with a study guide to help you explore the feast of sounds on offer.

What will I learn?

In this release, the discovery comes from exploration. You will see how Rodrigo applies the Dorian mode, creates lines using dominant chords and how he uses particular techniques to do so.

Simply put, you’re going to learn some killer funk fusion solos.
