Alright. I'm having trouble understanding this. I understand the whole Dorian concept.. but I don't understand, like, how to apply it to chords..

Help, please?

Maybe this article (http://theguitarresource.com/scales-and-modes/modes-applying-major-scale-modes/)might help ... tell us how you're doing.

edit: I need to read more carefully. Apparently Dorian mode is used "over a minor 7th chord." Duh. :P But one final question. I wanna go for that Santana kind of sound. Does that usually start on the tonic of a major scale? Do I always have to start on a I chord?
