Hi,
As i understand, over a static minor chord i am free to use any minor mode i.e Dorian, aeolian and Locrian ( B dorian , B Aeolian, B locrian on B minor static chord) . But depending one the progression i may be restricted to play only one mode sound ( m6 and M6 clashing in case of dorian vs aeolian). Is there a way i can use both dorian and aeolian at the same time in a given chord progression.

One chord vamp situations are rare and would be great but is there a way to fuse minor modes over a minor chord in a 4 chord progression

Thank You

I think you need to do some study of modes and harmonic function in chord sequences.
The modes will help you understand the different minor modes of say the major scale, e.g.
Dorian, Phyrigian, Aeolian and Locrian. Each of these has a different harmonic function (job).
It is the harmonic context of the current chord sequence that determines which major or minor modes would be
Good to play at any given time. Sometimes that will be just one mode, sometimes many modes.

If you want to understand harmonic function better then have a look at the Mdecks.COM website and their Mapping Tonal Harmony concept. They also do a nice harmonic ‘overview’ map which shows the commonly used paths between chords and their modes.
Hope that’s helpful ...
