I'm not sure where Dorian comes into play in "Horse With No Name". Maybe it depends on how you describe the chords. Most times I've seen it played Am Em, which is ambiguous because those could be in either key Em or Am. I haven't transcribed it out myself. Some sources show the chords as Em D9/6 and Dmaj9. Without transcribing the melody we still can't declare a particular key.

Anyhow, modes are a whole 'nother can of worms. Somewhere I saw a book with something like 500 different mode scales, multiplied by 12 = thousands of possible scales. There are some really cool and bizarre modes out there.

Most versions I've seen start with an Em chord. Maybe there are other transposed versions on Am, but I believe the original was sung on Em.

The chord progression has a strong "pull" towards Em, so in my opinion the key is Em. The sung melody has a C# on it, which points towards an Em Dorian scale. And the scale used to play the solo part is an Em Dorian scale too (there's a C# in there too). So I strongly believe this song uses Dorian harmony.

You're right; practically every type of scale has modes. There are the modes of the major scale - which are the ones most players refer to when talking about the modes. But other scales, like the Pentatonic, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor - just to name a few - have modes too. Those are a lot of modes! Really cool sounds to be discovered...

Can anyone here read sheet music?

My friend wants to get a tatoo but she wants the word in a song done in notes.

The song is here ( 1st page ) http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic...?ppn=MN0063721 and the word she wants is " Unwritten " which I think is the 4 notes in the 5th bar, starting on the actual 3rd note of that bar...

Is that right if anyone can clairfy and confirm for me please?

I'm crazy about this chick! Nancy Wilson was hot then, and still is pretty darned ok now.

The guitar is an Adamas, one of the original prototype slotheads from the late 70's. This is #43, which the current owner let me and my daughter play at a guitar jam weekend. The body is a fiberglass bowl, the top is a carbon fiber sandwich. The neck is traditional wood construction, with the fretboard being resin impregnated walnut. I have never played a guitar that resonated so freely as this one. The current owner is a retired touring and recording pro who played it as his main guitar for two decades, so the guitar is well broken in.

There is no hotter guitar scene than Nancy in the opening of this version of Crazy on You. She's playing an Ovation in this video, same thing as the Adamas but with a traditional wood top.

The lead guitarist plays a white Travis Bean guitar, known for having an aluminum neck.

Music notes are only A through G. There is no way to write oute that word in notes. She ccould use the notes in the sheet music which are the melody. I only have my phone right now and can't aaccess your link properly.

Kodiak, I envy your knowledge of theory. I know nothing. Luckily I can play anyway but I get frustrated by how little I know.

I completely agree about Nancy Wilson. I love a hot woman that can play. I also have a thing for Sheryl Crow. However, I hate Ovation and Adams guitars. Back in the day they were the only way to get decent acoustic sound live but they sound like shit when they aren't plugged in. Plus the shape makes it impossible to play sitting down.

There are amazing pick up systems now that allow you to make any acoustic sound great live.

I got to meet both Ann and Nancy years ago. Brief but memorable and Nancy has quite the eyes...saw them many times in concert. Last time was 2 summers ago out in a forest with a meadow that was once a insane asylum but now is a giant hotel/brewery/movie parlor/pool hall/golf course (The Edgefield). Highly recommend that place for concerts
