E Bebop dorian Scale
E Bebop dorian contains 8 notes: E, F♯, G, G♯, A, B, C♯, D. It has 3 sharps: F♯, G♯, C♯. The step pattern is W–H–H–H–W–W–H–W.
The bebop Dorian scale inserts a major 3rd between the b3 and 4th of Dorian mode. The b3-to-3 chromatic movement gives lines a bluesy edge inside a jazz context.
The formula is 1, 2, b3, 3, 4, 5, 6, b7. The major 3rd passing tone mirrors the "blue note" bend in blues, making bebop Dorian lines sound simultaneously jazzy and bluesy. The scale works over minor 7th chords and is favored when Dorian is the base mode but more chromatic color is desired.
The b3-3-4 chromatic cluster is the money move — practice it ascending and descending from every position. This scale is especially effective on iim7 chords in blues-jazz contexts where you want more tension than straight Dorian provides.
