In this video, I go through a full solo that I put together which showcases the Dorian Mode throughout it. I start by playing the solo all the way through over a 12 bar blues backing track in the key of A. After that, I walk through each phrase in the solo.

I used many of the concepts that I went over broadly in the previous video. Here, you can see those concepts being used more directly in an actual solo.

I tried to keep things simple in this solo. I wanted it to be accessible to guitarists at a variety of levels. For the most part, the licks in this solo are not all that technical. But they'll make for a great addition to your blues guitar playing.
