I have watched many of that guy's videos, they are enjoyable.

George posting the Mark bait today.

Um. No. Or, arguable.
Aeolian is also known as natural minor. It does not have a flat 6th, unless considered to be a relation to major, which would explain the flatted 6th, but then the lowered 3rd would also need to be acknowledged, as well as the raised 7th.
The G pedal point, or ostinato, does not establish G-Dorian, although emphasizing B-flat would help reinforce the Dorian. The lower tetrachords of Dorian and Aeolian are identical, 5th relation of course, which allows transient modulation between the two tonal areas without establishing a new key through traditional chord progressions.
Ax, help me out here, bud. I'm not near a keyboard.

That being said, I really enjoy his videos. Rick has done a lot in opening up all styles of music to everyone. A bit heavy on the "buy my stuff" but I guess that's how he makes his living, YouTube and stuff. I would love to have his studio, but wouldn't we all.

Ha. Sting doesn't have a clue what a mode is.

I'm surprised they haven't banned music from The Police yet.

Srsly though, cool video. A lot over my head, but I've often thought there was something unique in the songs by Sting that I just haven't heard anywhere else and always kind of wondered why.

@89th that's why I enjoyed it. "Fortress" has always been one of my favorite Sting songs, and this video brought home some of the complexity in it.
