so lets just say im playing in the key of C. I want to solo overthis but i dont want the major scale because it is boring and i dont want minor or major pentatonic because they are to bluesy. so i decide on Dorian so i can get that cool jazz/blue santana-y tone. to make it sound right and to stay in key do i play the dorian pattern and start it with C as the root. or do i use D as the root. Also does the same go if i wanted to use Aeolian?
